Yea I remember when Calethes was draining 3's and tearing up the SEC. He's been playing in Greece since he graduated. They got him to back up Mike Conley and Tony Allen. The starters are Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, Tony Allen, and Tayshaun Prince.

Are Bayless & Pondexter still on the team? That's a stacked backcourt

I can't believe they have Chicago coming out of the East. They don't have a true second star. All due respect to Noah and Deng.

FWIW, Bill Simmons is the only guy I've seen thus far to pick the Bulls to win the title.

The comments from "Heat fans" on the video are gold.

They are so mad

yup. Just watched it. There is one thing that rings true that a heat fan said, and I believe we've had this discussion. When in crunch time, LeBron is going to guard Rose. that's like 6 inches and 60 lbs advantage and the quickness is negligible. If the Heat shut Rose's scoring down, who is getting baskets for the Bulls? It's time to bring in a second star, even if you include Deng and Boozer. LaMarcus should have been a Bull a long time ago, time to right the ship.

This has been true for 2 games in a playoff series and one regular season game.

I think it is a legitimate concern for the Bulls, but if we're really going to say 3 games means Rose is always gonna be shut down by Lebron in a close game situation, then I don't know what to tell you.

Not to mention, the Bulls have an entire season of experience on how to close out games without DRose.

And the looks that Deng, Butler, Boozer, Noah, etc.. got last season will be less contested because defenses will key on Rose.

So I don't disagree with you completely, but I'm not going that far just yet.

I have a pretty good feeling the Bulls vs. Heat on opening night will come down to a last second possession with Lebron guarding DRose.

the reason it's only been this is that Rose hasn't played the Heat since April 12,2012. The Heat have won titles since then and solved the Bulls in the playoffs the year before.

It's circular logic, saying it's only been 3 games so nothing is definitive and Rose has been down so we don't really know? Which MVP has gotten better since April 2012?

The Bulls problem is they don't have another guy who can create his own shot and for others. Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge etc. Iggy is a guy they should have gone after last summer.Kevin Martin,too. Who else is out there? Granger? Eric Gordon?

The Bulls are constructed to be a great regular season team because they play hard every night. they are a ECF contender, but I'm not sure they get past Indy or Brooklyn this year either as constructed.
