Bulls Season

Nice article Pete. I agree with it being a big year for Ty Thomas. He'll be inspired to play his best so he can get paid. I also concur with your overall prediction. I'm going to go with a record of 42-40 record and a 7th seed in the East. Here's what I don't agree with:

"Thank God" Ben Gordon is gone? Beg your pardon? You started off by praising the Bulls for a hard fought and exciting playoff series against the Celtics and then say that you are happy Ben Gordon is gone. Hate to break it to you but Ben Gordon was the reason the Celtics series was exciting. The Celtics series would have gone 5 games without Gordon. He averaged 24 pts a game that series and hit some incredible big shots. Not sure how Ben Gordon got to become a scape goat for the Bulls, but it's not really fair. You don't need everyone on your team to be a defense wizard, look at how Toni Kukoc worked for the Bulls with his shitty defense. I mean, we can trade back for Thabo Sefolosha if you want, he plays good defense. Gordon was their best player the past few years in my opinion and they will definitely miss him. Come crunch time we'll see who has the guts to take the shot.
