Oh yeah, our game at the Spectrum against the Bulls should be a fun one!!

When I first heard that we were playing the Bulls over there, I immediately thought of this classic moment:

I've been hearing about Iggy's game being compared to Pippen's game. Here are two videos showing both guys: Scottie Pippen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTgxLtPrD7g Andre Iguodala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV0LH3FGHVM&feature=related

As Bill Swerski’s Superfans would say, Da Bulls, DA BULLS!!

Greatest strength(s):
-Da Guards, too many in fact
-Nice pieces (Good trade pieces)
-Nice tempo game (mainly uptempo)
-United Center (great fans, legendary stadium, tough to beat)
-Scrappy, competitive bunch (Defensively)
Greatest weakness(es):
-Can Vinny Del Negro breakthrough this seson as a coach?
-Interior scoring
-Interior defense
-Leadership (definitely, they lost Joe Smith last year)
-Chemistry and attitude
-How will Ben Gordon act this season?
-Frontcourt depth
-Who is the definite PG for this team? Will Derrick Rose be?
Wow, who would have thought that they would get the #1 draft pick in 2008 in Derrick Rose? The Bulls had a 2.6% chance of getting the #1 pick. That is incredible!!

(I think the Bulls will be 3rd in the Central Division, 10th in the East.)

(On a side note, the Sixers will be 3-1 against the Bulls this season. One loss will be at Chicago. Last year, we beat them twice at Chicago, including that comeback victory last March. I think our frontcourt should give the Bulls problems on the offensive end. Take away their perimeter shots and what do the Bulls have left?)

Sixers’ Chicago connections:
-Maurice Cheeks (born in Chicago)
-Andre Iguodala (born in Springfield, Illinois)
-Donyell Marshall (played for the Bulls from 2002-2004)
-Elton Brand (#1 draft pick of the Bulls in 1999)
