Polling each fan forum to get their take on the upcoming season.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I'm saying 50-54. About the same as last year, seeing some improvement from our young players but needing to adjust to the new system

If we remain very healthy as a whole, 60 games...if not, probably around 50-54

Anywhere between 48 - 53. I can us losing a bunch of games in the beginning to learn Hoiball.

I don't think Hoiball will need much time to get used to espcially since its supposed to be a lot more free flowing. I feel like the bulls will come out running because they again have something to prove. I have a feeling they will show something similar to the warriors last year (probably wont win as many games tho because of the older players and less shooting). Again, 50 is the low mark but I can see the wins being in the 60s with a healthy motivated team

Can easily get shot out of a cannon and win a bunch of games early since teams won't know the Bulls game plan like back in 2010. But this time Bulls will be having fun and playing to their strengths

I think they can win somewhere around 52-56

I think with a healthy team, 50 wins should be a minimum and that is without considering other factors

I think we will struggle up to about 55 - 56 wins. Second round playoff exit. Book it.
After Rose broke both his knees, I gave up on the hope that we'd make it to the NBA Finals again. It will probably be decades before we see another championship. Hello Treadmill, here we come.

37 to 60. The 8 ball is real cloudy on the Bulls.

Rose miss some time, young guys don't step up as expected and defense collapses.

That happened last year and they won 50. 37 as a floor would seem to indicate that there's a reasonable argument that this team is a fringe playoff team in the East, which would mean they're an awful team. They are way too talented to make that case.

I have them at 48-55, so I'll vote 50-54 based on the # range for the poll.

55-59 is a very, very optimistic leader for this poll. I sure hope you guys are right. Go Bulls.

I'm going with 62..Big year for the Bulls..I might be one of the few , but I love the roster and the coaching change..

Chicago's gone down to 20 to 1 to win the title..That's a solid bet IMO..I put 20 bucks down ..I'll put more if things are going well in October.

It really depends on whether or not the vets are willing to buy in to what a young rookie coach has to sell, whether there will be any semblance of a defensive identity, and our health. I think we underachieved last season. There's too much talent on this team to not win a good mess of games, but I could see it all going very, very sour for a number of reasons. A cautiously optimistic, slightly petrified 50-54 vote from me.

Voted 55-59. Jimmy and Derrick should have notes cohesion, and rotations should make a lot more sense with less Noah.

Noah plays the same amount as last year and I think about the same record.

Return to Chicago Bulls
