Blazers try to continue Trail through Chicago
The Portland Trailblazers are coming to the United Center Monday for a 7 p.m. central tip-off in attempts of continuing their winning trail through the city of Chicago.
Brandon Roy and the Blazers have started the 2010-11 NBA season in phenomenal fashion and look to have their first 4-0 start in 11 years against the Bulls while the Bulls have began 1-1 without their key summer acquisition, Carlos Boozer who is out with a broken hand.
Can the Bulls end the trail?

Huge comeback gives Bulls first win of the season
The Detroit Pistons came into the United Center determined to get a win and through the third quarter, it seemed as if they would leave Chicago triumphant.
Until the Bulls two-headed of point guard Derrick Rose and center Joakim Noah did what they needed to do to in the fourth quarter to not only get the Bulls back into the game, but walk away with a 10 point victory after being down by 21 points.
The turning point: Chicago outscored the Pistons 34-9 in the fourth quarter to get their first win and even their season record 1-1.

Bulls look for first win of season against Detroit
The Chicago Bulls will try to get their first win of the 2010-11 season as they host the Detroit Pistons at 8 p.m. Saturday.
This should be a winnable game for the Bulls if:
Defense is at a high level- which it was for three quarters against the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday
Stop hacking-OKC shot 44 free throws compared to Chicago’s 22.
Turnovers- Chicago gave up the ball four times in the fourth quarter, three of them led to OKC points, including two fast break dunks.
Scoring-Someone other than Derrick Rose has to score for the Bulls.

Top 10 Chicago Bulls After Jordan and Pippen Left
In June of 1998 the Chicago Bulls won their sixth championship of the decade and finished their second three-peat. A few months later, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the icons who were the key elements of the dynasty were gone.
Since the 1998-1999 season, Chicago has seen a mass amount of players come and go. Some were drafted then traded to get a veteran who could help the team. The veteran retired after a season or two or moved on after failing to bring the bulls to a winning season. We all know how the roster played musical names in the early 2000′s.
Even though the team went through a long rebuilding period, there was still enough solid players to form a top ten, especially since the team has been to the playoffs five of the last six years.
This top 10 includes Bulls players from the 1998-1999 season to the 2009-2010 season. I would like to consider Carlos Boozer or Kyle Korver, but they haven’t played a game as a Bull. With this said, lets get to the Top 10 Bulls After Jordan and Pippen Left.
Jazz move to Chicago
The Utah Jazz seem to be moving to Chicago. First Carlos Boozer made the jump, then Kyle Korver, now Ronnie Brewer. The former Jazz, need to tune their instruments and commit themselves to making lovely music in Chicago.

Brewer has signed a three year deal with the Bulls for $12.5 million.
