The Chicago Bulls came into the playoffs with tons of momentum after surpassing the San Antonio Spurs for the best record in league, and they locked up home court advantage throughout the entire playoffs in the process. I will admit that I even thought coming into the playoffs that they were the best team; I just couldn’t find any reason that they couldn’t win it all.
Keep in mind that was all before the playoffs started. I have never been more disappointed in a team that was up 2-0 in the series in my life. The Bulls, despite being up 2-0 in the series have played terrible. They won game one only because the Indiana Pacers handed it to them at the end of a game in which the Pacers dominated the Bulls. Game 2 was another disappointing game even though they won, and game 3 (which is currently going on right now looks more of the same. Derrick Rose is playing like the MVP he soon will be, but that is about the only thing that is going the Bulls way. They are playing decent defensively, but terrible offensively. None of the other scoring options are doing anything. Luol Deng isn’t playing his best, and Carlos Boozer, who was a big summer acquisition for the Bulls, has played abysmal on both ends of the court. There is no doubt that the Bulls will win this series, but if they continue to play this way they will be in for a shock. It seems like they are not in playoff mode yet, but they better get there and fast otherwise they will be watching the games from home instead of playing in them.
