....while I'm not a list-maker like Rami, and while I don't have the poetic abilities of Rask to construct a blow your face off post, I have a quiet optimism for this coming season and am extraordinarily excited for tomorrow. I honestly don't remember feeling this excited for a season since Thibs' first year.

i feel like a debbie downer because im not all that optimistic

i mean the team will be good no doubt but im not sure we are gonna be serious contenders

i think this will be an 'adjustment' year....Rose working his way back, Gasol finding where he fits in and the rookies learning and trying to find their way

Assuming starters stay healthy and Rose returns to 80% of what he was... I think we're in the ECF.

And really, it's only if the starters are healthy in the playoffs. We could sit Rose, Noah and Gasol out for like a third of the season and still bumble our way into the playoffs on the opposite side of the bracket as Cleveland and then make the ECF with those guys healthy.

Rose will hit his stride. Making it to the playoffs healthy, and not worn down is the most important thing...Not seeding. The team has some kinks to work out-that is for sure. But I think they have the pieces they need.

Shoot, all the First team needs to do is keep the games close, second team win the games for you. There is a ton of talent on this team, exciting to watch tonight. Can't wait to watch more!!! Obviously, the first team is talented and capable, but I'm impressed, color me impressed.

The depth is pretty impressive. This team can win without asking Rose to do too much. Not sure I understand putting Rose, Hinrich, Noah, and Gasol on the floor together if we are going to preserve these guys for a playoff run.

Rotation, fewer minutes, less wear and tear, etc.

Rose only played 21 minutes. In fact, the only player to play 30 minutes or more was Dunleavy. So I am not sure what your complaint is.

The reality is that this is the Bulls best shot at winning a 7th title. The Cavs are going to win multiple titles in the future but I think it will take this full year to fully transition. Hopefully everyone stays healthy.

It was a comment/question. When I have a complaint you'll know.

Got it. Playing your best players for less than 30 minutes/game is not preserving them for the playoffs.

I don't get why putting them all on the floor at the same time is a risk...

Maybe he is thinking Hinrich will do something stupid like a cartwheel and take out Rose and Gasol at the knees?
