The Bulls have been perfect in the preseason as they are trying to get everybody on the same page in 2013. Derrick Rose is back and supposedly better than ever. He has proved this by averaging 20 points in the preseason, leading the team in PPG and assists as the point guard is averaging 4.3 per game. There there's Joakim Noah, holding it down on defense averaging three blocks per game, Jimmy Butler is averaging three steals per game and Taj Gibson is a monster on the boards grabbing close to nine a ball game.
The Bulls are built on fundamentals, defense and timely offense. They are fresh off a close 103-98 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The Bulls trailed early as the Pacers went on a 16-0 run in the first half. However, the Bulls outscored Indiana 34-25 in the third quarter to get back into the game, regaining the lead and never letting it go. Rose finished that game on Friday with 32 points on 9-15 shooting from the floor, hitting four threes and hitting 10 of 13 from the line. He also added nine assists to his dynamic performance.
The Bucks come into town and those guys are not having fun or expected to have much success in 2013. They are off to an 0-4 start in the preseason and the good news is that these are just exhibition games. They lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte Bobcats in the preseason.
Most recently, they faced the Memphis Grizzlies and they actually made it close, losing 102-99. O.J. Mayo faced his old club and he finished with 14 points in teh loss. However, the Bucks could not find an answer for Quincy Pondexter who finished the night with 24 points in 37 minutes of action.
The Bulls will look to make it 6-0 in the preseason as they would like to come charging out the gates as the 2013 regular season should be a great one for them.
