Day 1: Everyone wins the Lotto
July 1st is the day anyone who has anything to do with the NBA has been waiting for…free agency.
Friends of mine on Facebook wrote update status stating they were not doing anything except watching ESPN to see who was going to what team. Chris Bosh, one of three big names in the free agency market, tweeted he was also watching ESPN to see what moves were going to happen. Then he tweeted he was going to Chicago to here their pitch, I got excited.
Anyway, four players were signed during the first day of the open market. All of them were over paid. David Stern must have been handing out winning scratch off lottery tickets to these players because they’re not worth the contracts they graciously accepted.
The Number One Option for the Bulls is…
I have been saying for two years, the Bulls number one option in the 2010 free agency is Chris Bosh. When they selected Derrick Rose with the first pick in the 2008 draft, I was pleased, because I know Rose and Bosh would play perfect together.
This past year Joakim Noah became a defensive and rebounding machine. Another perfect reason why the Bulls should get Bosh. Bosh and Noah are almost the complete opposite.
Bosh is an absolute go to man offensively. He has a fully developed low post game and can step out and hit a 15 foot jumper. Bosh plays decent defense, but could get better in a system set up by Tom Thibodeau.
The best time of the year has arrived and Chicago is a part of it
Yes, it is the best time of the year. Not Christmas, not birthdays, not Thanksgiving, not the Super Bowl or game seven of a World Series. It is the NBA playoffs. I love it.
I love it even more that the Bulls made it into the post season. They got the eighth seed, but hey, they’re in and the Toronto Raptors are sitting in Toronto doing nothing with their lives.
Do or die situation
Congratulations to the Bulls for making the dream of a playoff birth last one more day with the win against the Boston Celtics. Now, is the final challenge.
If the Bulls defeat the seventh seed Charlotte Bobcats tonight, they will be the eighth seed in the eastern conference. If they don’t win and the Toronto Raptors beat the New York Knicks tonight, then the Bulls stay in Chicago while the Raptors continue to play.
The Bulls have won two games against the Bobcats, including a game a week and a half ago. If the Bulls play with the same tenacity and poise they did against the Celtics, then they will be in the playoffs. Lets make it happen, D-Rose and company.
Win against Raptors takes 8th seed
The Chicago Bulls are finally back in the playoff tree, well for now. The Bulls bone stomped the Toronto Raptors 104-88 to steal the eighth and final spot in the playoffs from the Raptors.
This is great. the bad part is, the Bulls now have to rely on the Raptors to lose their last two games against the bad Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks. The Raptors are not a good team, but it is going to be hard for them to lose both of these games even if their star, Chris Bosh, isn’t in the lineup.
