Re: Similar team, more hope?
If you read every post in the thread, Hobo wasn't the only guy who has egg on his face. The Bulls did quite well despite having rookies Deng, Gordon, Nocioni and Duhon as 4 vital cogs in their 8 man rotation this year. They dispelled the belief that you win because of veterans. Prior to season ending injuries, their top 8 players were Gordon, Hinrich, Duhon, Curry, Chandler, Nocioni, and either A.D. or Othella depending on the game. Also, while they didn't start together, Gordon and Hinrich did all right in the backcourt together and somehow the Bulls still managed to be one of the top defensive teams in the NBA. I also think if given the choice, most people would take Deng over Hayes. Some guys also seemed to underestimate the impact Gordon would have on the team. Oh well, not many people look good when these threads are brought back up at the end of the year. They are fun to look back on though.
