New Chicago Bulls - Better Chemistry?

I'm not a big sports fan, but I love basketball... in particular the Chicago Bulls. Derrick Rose is my favorite player (obviously). I thought that the Bulls made bad off season moves, but after watching the pre-season game tonight... I think there is hope.

In the first half the team seemed to have better chemistry than last year, especially with Kirk Hinrich. Glad to see him back and he works so well  with Noah and Deng, the team looked great in the first half.

However, the second half everything seemed to fall apart, especially as we got deeper into the Bulls bench. Fesenko or whatever his name is,  just doesn't fit in. He immediately stood out to me as the worse player on the team. The bench is going to have to do some serious work to get some chemistry as a team before I call them the "Bench Mob 2.0". They have some good pieces now, so I'm hoping with more practice as a team they will get it together. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Nate Robinson, he is probably the new player I am most excited about (besides Kirk Hinrich). I don't consider Hinrich a new addition to the team though, he's playing like he never left.

I think this team will get Chicago to the Playoffs, and hopefully Rose comes back on time to get them through the playoffs and to a title. But I'm thinking the Bulls won't win a title until next season when they get Rose back at full health and they will finally get Nikola Mirotic.

But then there are the Lakers and Miami Heat with their bloated teams to contend with... but by 2014 I think Miami will have cooled down and I don't think the Lakers will win. I just have a feeling that Derrick Rose will not be stopped from getting an NBA title.
