D-Rose and the Bulls.

        First of all, this is something I can write a lot about, so I should put on sunglasses, leather gloves, crack my knuckles, and write. D-Rose is going to miss another season because of a torn right meniscus. Last time he tore his right meniscus he was out for the whole season. He will probably out a full season again, and that means pain for Chicago. Chicago is Rose's hometown, and he brought the team out of a huge hole and became the youngest MVP in history at 22. Chicago loves him, he loves Chicago. The fact that he will be out for what will be the most important part of the season is really cry-worthy. He was our court-leader, averaging 18.4 PPG, 5 APG, worse than any of his other seasons, but still a good point-guard. We will have to have a huge effort by Aaron Brooks, who can score way better than Kirk Hinrich. Noah also needs to score more points, and be better on the offensive side of things. Brooks is the key to go to the ECF's, 10.6 PPG, 2.7 APG. Brooks can make anything he throws up at the basket, we need him to score 15 points in the playoffs, at-least, to win a game against the Cavs. Brooks should start starting over Hinrich, and we should only put Hinrich in when we need his defense, and veteran leadership. Noah has to be a double-double guy every game, he has averaged 7.2 PPG, and 12.2 REB in his last ten games. He needs to work on his offensive post moves to score, or he can be used as a floor general like last season. We know Noah can play a 'Center-Guard' position, so if we can, we should put Noah as a floor General and put in Taj Gibson with him. Taj has to be our go-to post guy if Noah is the floor general from the middle. Taj can score, we just need to get the ball into his hands.
          Jimmy Butler has just graced the Sports Illustrated cover, hopefully he'll be even better the second half of the season. We need him to be our, less crazy, Russell Westbrook, who can take a hit during a drive and make the free-throws. He has been awesome at that, so we need to get the ball to him in crunch time situations. He averages 20.2 PPG, 3.3 APG, 5.9 RPG, and shoots 84% at the line. Jimmy is doing exactly what he needs to be doing, and now that Rose is gone, he needs to score more now that he has the ball more. That's the only way we can win in the playoffs.
         We could also get back Nate Robinson, who is a free agent, he would instantly solve all of our problems. Nate thrived on Thibs' system when he was here, making miracles happen for an injury ridden team. He scored 23 points in the 4th quarter against the Nets, leading a team who was losing by a dozen with 2 and a half minutes to go to a 3OT victory. He was the heart of the Bulls team, crazy enough to take impossible shots, good enough to make them. We can get Bairstow of our roster and get Robinson. I don't know how that will work but please make it happen.
        This is not the end for the Bulls though, I have a strong feeling we will make it to the ECF's and take the Cavs to 7. I don't is we will win or not, that will be up to Jimmy Butler, or Taj Gibson, those are the true game-changers we have. Nate would be great to have by that time, he then would replace Gibson as the game changer. I still have the Bulls to go to the Finals, with Jimmy taking us there, playing lock-down defense on LeBron. That's all I have for now.
