The Bulls decided to start bringing Ben Gordon off of the bench. Gordon’s season numbers are starting to look more in line with his talent than they did early in the year. Gordon has played in 31 games this season for the Bulls and he is averaging 36 minutes, 19.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. His shooting has been off most of the season but it’s up to 41.8% from the floor and 36.4% from three point range with his recent surge. The Bulls need Gordon to keep shooting well because he’s their best offensive player.

The Bulls haven’t gotten the production from their rookies like they thought they would and they need that to change soon. Forward/Center Joakim Noah was the first round pick of the Bulls and he hasn’t gotten much playing time yet to show what he can or can’t do. Noah has played in 21 games so far this season for the Bulls and he is averaging 12.4 minutes, 4.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Noah is only shooting 41.1% from the floor but he has made 76.9% of his shots from the free throw line. The Bulls won’t likely extend Noah’s playing time until he improves his play on the floor.

Center Aaron Gray has played decent in his limited minutes on the basketball court. Gray has played in 15 games so far this season and he is averaging 10.6 minutes, 3.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He is shooting 45.3% from the floor but only 40% from the free throw line. He could see more minutes in the near future.

Guard JamesOn Curry and forward Demetrius Nichols have not played yet for the Bulls but they both have talent.

Ben Wallace 6-7 from the free-throw line? The Chicago Bulls swept the Miami Heat? Absolutely, it takes a decade for the Bulls to build and build and build. And now they are ready for battle.

They are no longer to be called “Baby Bulls”, they are now the BULLS with a capital B-U-L-L-S. They now understand how to win in times of pressure. They now have the chemistry that a team needs to go deeper to the playoffs.

With Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Kir Hinrich, PJ Brown, and Ben Wallace as their fabulous five, the Bulls are ready to meet the challenges ahead. Of course we have …read more from the source
