Christmas just got a little sweeter. The Bulls will be playing the Knicks at noon on Christmas Day. They’ll also get Kevin Durant and the Thunder on MLK Day. Here’s what former Bull Steve Kerr had to say about his old team:
“I actually think that (the Bulls) are the most well-rounded team in the East. Obviously, Miami has the most talent but when you look at Chicago’s mix, they’ve got two unbelievable frontcourt defenders with (Joakim) Noah and Taj Gibson, they’ve got the great point guard play of Derrick Rose and now you’ve got the low-post scoring that Chicago has been lacking for years with Boozer. I just really like that mix. They’ve done a nice job of quietly putting some pieces in there on the wings with Kyle Korver and Brewer. They’ve got a really deep mix of players and I think they are going to be really good.”
