Thought of the Day
Some notes -and a link- on the Bulls 2009-2010 schedule, thanks to Pro Basketball News:
The Eastern Conference team with the longest trip is the Bulls - not their six-game "Circus Trip" in November but a seven-game jaunt in January. Only four other East teams have one trip of six games. The Hornets have a league-low 16 sets of back-to-back games, while the Bobcats, Bulls and Pistons all have a league-high 23. The teams with the hardest schedules are the Clippers (22 back-to-backs, three long trips) and the Bulls (23 back-to-backs, two long trips). Bulls 13 national TV games, nine on TNT and four on ESPN. ESPN viewers will never see the United Center; all those games are on the road. The great Sam Smith breaks down the schedule
My opinion: The Bulls have a good, but not great, team. Losing Ben Gordon hurts, but a one through five of Rose, Salmons, Deng, Thomas and Noah is solid, and a bench of Hinrich, Miller, Pargo and Johnson isn't too shabby. Last year the Bulls finished 7th in the East at 41-41. This years team is better, but then again, so is nearly every team in the conference. I say going .500 again seems right about right.
