yes most defenitaly, they had a pretty good defense last year and with the addition of Big Ben they are even better and there rebounding got better with him there. There draft picks were great this year, they got Thomas and Barbosa both with good size and speed. Thomas is very athletic and has a good chance to be rookie of the year if he works hard. Barbosa gives the Bulls some size at gaurd 6'7 something they lakced last year and he excells at defense. Bulls vs. Heat for champinship Bulls take it in 6 the Heat have a good team but they are getting old and Wade cant do it alone.

The Chicago Bulls and the start of the season will be contenders like all the othe other NBA teams. Unfortunately by the time the playoffs come around they will only be "pretenders".

I honestly don't think so, though they'll make some noise.
They're still so young and even though they added some veteran help, they don't have that go-to-guy to draw a double team. Their offense is not that good at all. They had trouble scoring down the stretch last year unless Gordon was hot. He's very streaky. They're good, and might be the best defensive team in the league, but I can't put them up there with Miami, San Antonio and Dallas.

Theyll get to the playoffs, they will be fun to watch but I dont think they willl get past the second round, if they even get there. What answer do they have for Shaq? He isn't the player he used to be but he is still better than what Chicago has. They will be tough competition tho. They will not be swept, barring injuries.
Indiana, if they can return to form will give them a tough game. Cleveland Lebrons and the Wizards will run with them. Detriot isn't what it used to be but they can still give em a tough game. The East isn't weak like it used to be Chicago will have a tough time gettin to that final round. Maybe in a year or two but not this year.

yes they made it to the playoffs without ben wallace and got eliminated by the eventual champs. so with ben they should go on and challange the pistons and cavs for the division title. it will be interesting to see if the heat and bulls meet in the playoffs.

they should, with the addtion of ben wallace and the fire power their young rising stars contain, why not. i think they'll finsh the season as the 4th seed in the east and make to the eastern conference finals in don't know about the finals yet.
