Which Chicago NBA team are you talking about???

Rose, Deng, and Noah (as Bulls) all have a GREAT DEAL of experience in the playoffs. and Boozer has missed the playoffs only once in his entire career.

I’m not saying that they are going to win, but don’t dare say that they are “unproven.”

Just ask Piece and Allen if they have any memories of playing Rose, Noah, and Deng in a playoff game…

This is not the same team that went to the Finals a few years ago. I think they may have something to be worried about as well. Their bench isnt extremely strong and they lost a lot of defense in the PHX trade. They don’t appear to have a solid backup PF or center. I realize Dwight makes everyones defense on the team better but he does need to rest at times.

However, I don’t see it as Nenad’s fault as the Celts were doing fine without Perk and Shaq for quite some time. I think the whole defensive rotation is being tinkered since the trade/signing to the point that the team is reacting/adjusting only to the offense instead of breaking the offense and forcing bad shots.

I hope they get it right before the playoffs as the Bulls (Tibs) knows the Celts inside out.
