Ireland Car Rental - Chicago Bulls 09-10 Season Preview

The Bulls look to build off their great performance in the 09' playoffs this season. The Celtics had all they could ever want from the Bulls in that series without question. Each game was seemingly more dramatic then the previous one. They were eliminated in the first round by the hands of the Boston Celtics but proved they had a never say quit mentality. 41-41, the Chicago Bulls had a better season then their record would have indicated in 08' -'09.

Rose is a very explosive player and has all-star written on him. 16 points per game and started 81 games, rose averaged 6 assists per game. Point guard and rookie sensation Derrick Rose has a fantastic rookie season. This will have to improve if the Bulls want home court advantage in the playoffs come the spring time. 13-28, but a terrible road team, 28-13, the Bulls were a very good home team.

The Bulls will need all the points they can get from him, john Salmons has his best season to date scoring 18 points per game for the Bulls last season. Where the Bulls will make up for the points lost during the season will be interesting to see. The loss of Ben Gordon will hurt the Bulls offense - during the 09' season Gordon averaged 21 points per game and had a sensational first round playoff.

Also they need more low post scoring and limit their jump shots, they might be one big man away from contending for the East title. The "Baby" Bulls have a touch act to follow but have a good upside to their team. Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson era is still fresh I many of the Bulls fans minds, it's been over 10 years since the Bulls last won a championship - but the Michael Jordan.
