yeah we knew that was going to suffer with boozer out,and most of the team being offensively challenged thus far

...but that we're not dead last is very encouraging.i mean at full strength and clicking we were only suppose to be middle of the pack

[tonytram]

To early to get excited about.

I'm surprised with our defensive EFF standing considering how bad our 1st half performances have been. If we can tighten up the defense from the start we'll be in awesome shape.

2 games...

Kinda meaningless at this particular point in the season.

I'll be interested in these stats about a month or two into the season though.

The Bulls offense would be ranked higher than this if Carmelo is here instead of Deng.

This

And their defense would be lower

[Ezio]

And their defense would be lower

Ahh I see what you did there.

The offense will get better once Boozer comes back. I won't be mad if the Bulls are .500 team when he comes back.

Haha, I'm not worried at all either. I've never seen so much unjustified panic before, it's ridiculous.

Based on this same sample size, Rose is neck and neck with Rondo for MVP...

Seriously, the metrics are all good and great, but the analysis after the first weekend of the season is just ludicrous.

[nitric]

our offense is one player. lmao

Ask chris Paul and deron Williams how far you go into the playoffs when your best scorer is a pg. On top of that rose is still behind deron an chris, so will see if deng's "efficiency and superb defense" push us over Boston, Orlando and the heat. Moreover, hopefully rose can score 30 plus every night

because citing two arbitrary examples(of thousands)proves or disproves something?
