I understand why you guys are saying they don't have enough offense. Believe me I wish Boozer would step it up. But I think you guys are missing just how dominate defensively The Bulls can be. Worly you know Thibs is a defensive coach. He could have a lethal defensive starting 5 in
Rose Butler(Kobe Stopper) Deng Gibson Noah
At their best you won't find a better defensive team. You could even throw in Hinrich off the bench to chase Wade around, he has always played Wade well. The Bulls will struggle to score points I get that. But at there best defensively, it won't matter. And Deng D's up LeBron about as best as anyone can.

He's definitely a great defensive coach, and the Bulls have some legit talent defensively. Butler is tough for a young guy, but I don't think he's at that level defensively yet. I think both Boston and Miami have lineup combinations that are comparable defensively to what Chicago will have, and that's assuming Rose returns 100% and isn't rusty at all. Rose is one of my favorite players in the league, but even at full strength, I wouldn't at all classify him as a great defender.

Yeah I have no idea what's going with Rose. He will be rusty if he does return. And Rose is an upgrade to Nate Robinson as a defender wouldn't you say? Don't sleep on Butler Worly. I'm on Butler train early love the kid. Could be a light version of Scottie Pippen.

Ideally for the Bulls, Rose would return with at least 2-3 weeks left in the regular season, so he could get most of the kinks out before the playoffs begin. Rose is definitely a better defender than Nate Robinson, but I still think guys like Avery Bradley or Mario Chalmers are better defenders than Rose is. Butler may eventually develop into that type of player, but I think it's premature to say he's at that level yet when he hasn't even played in the playoffs yet.
