The NBA season starts in less than one week! NBA fans can you feel the anticipation building out throughout the basketball world?
Welcome NBA fans to Pippen Ain’t Easy’s introduction of the 2014-15 Chicago Bulls! There is a different vibe around the Windy City that hasn’t been felt since a certain guy named Michael Jordan was in town back in 1998. Yes, you are reading this right. The Chicago Bulls are considered legitimate title contenders for the first time since the “Dynasty Era” when the team was led by Jordan and the namesake of this website Scottie Pippen. But is this a probability or a pipe dream?
There are so many questions that need to be answered here. Will Derrick Rose make it through the season? If he can, will he be able to get back to the MVP form of the past. Most importantly, can he coexist and bring the best out of his new teammates?
Speaking of new teammates, we’ll take a look at the changes the Chicago Bulls made in the offseason. Will they make a difference and can Tom Thibodeau put a system together to seamlessly combine an effective roster? Will Thibodeau even use some of the players brought in or continue riding with the players that he trusts?
What is the best case scenario for the Chicago Bulls? Can this team make it to the NBA Finals in June? Will they crash and burn in the first round like last year? Sit back and relax while Pippen Ain’t Easy weighs the pros and cons going into this NBA season.
