The Bulls have better depth, way better defense, a better coach(by default, top 3 rim protector in the NBA, a better PG, and maybe just maybe better outside shooting (debatable). The core of the Bulls is still there which is a plus over a team that is completely revamped.
Also Love is pretty horrendous against the Bulls (albeit small sample size). Points take a small dip, but FG% and rebounds drop drastically. Could be teammates and what not and that gets better, but he tends to struggle against those physical type teams.
That's true, it's too bad that Biyombo and Zeller/Vonleh aren't ready to start now because they have the size and ability to totally neutralize Love and make driving to the rim a dangerous proposition. We'd also have Lance and MKG locking down any shooters. In a few years if we keep the core together we will match up really well with the Cavs.
