Chicago Bulls: Reasons why it is difficult to win the NBA Championship next championship – NBA Feature
After an incredible run in the last NBA season, the ardent fans of the Chicago Bulls franchise will now be expecting the Bulls to win the 2012 NBA title. However, statistically speaking, it is too much to expect from the team at
this point of time and there are various reasons to support the statement.
First of all, there are many other teams like The Mavericks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, and Boston Celtics which deserve the title of NBA Championship more than the Bulls. These teams have better players and they have better
co-ordination with each other on the field. They do not rely on a single player to play and neither take the whole responsibility of defeat on himself as Derrick Rose did.
There are good and bad points of every team. Bulls performed really well during 2010-2011 NBA season and the noteworthy Derrick Rose stunned the basketball fans in last season. I agree with the fact that Derrick Rose is an exceptional
player. But on the other hand, you cannot deny the fact that basketball is a team game. A single player can make a significant difference though but there is still room left for improvement.
The Bulls should be good at playing defensive as well as an offensive game. In order to do so, they should start practicing an offensive game in offseason. Keeping in mind the Coach Tom Thibodeau is a defensive coach, the team
can only focus on defense. This better defensive game had helped the Bulls to win the title after a long time since Michael Jordan left. Only a new coach can bring in a new philosophy and take the team in other direction.
The main flaw in the team right now is the absence of a shooting guard. With ball in Rose’s hand, the time ends and there is no one out there to create the shot. The point I want to make here is that the Bulls should let him do
his job as a point guard. He is over burdened in the field and this will affect his performance in the games. Keith Bogans is simply not good enough to be a shooting guard. Jason Richardson, Jamal Crawford or O.J Mayo can bring the spark in the team that
the Bulls need.
When we talk about Carlos Boozer, he is the only experienced player. He could be the player to lessen Rose’s load but because of his injury he could not perform well. He missed few games and there was a lack of chemistry between
him and Joakim Noah. Nothing can be said at this stage about his performance in the next season because of his health issues. He is also one of the over rated players. Joakim Noah is also good at playing a defensive game but I have doubts that he will be able
to share the load on Rose. Keeping in view the fact that he is a bit undersized, he is not too good as a centre. Luol Deng is the “glue-guy” who literally holds the team together and contributes as the backbone of team. He is quite good when it comes to defense.
But he still needs a lot of practice to make his offensive game better.
The majority of team players are young and time is needed in order to develop chemistry and to face much experienced opponents. In short, major additions and subtractions have to be done to make the team capable enough of winning
the games in upcoming season.
