Bulls Season In Review - Part 1

Wow, that was painful. The only solace Bulls fans can take from a miserable 2007-08 season is that it wasn't just Chicago that was optimistic about the team coming into this season.

Writers, including myself, have speculated ad nauseam about the preseason contract extensions never signed, the Kobe rumors, Scott Skiles "losing" the team, missed opportunities in the past lotteries, the small backcourt, the lack of inside scoring, and on and on.
