Bulls To-Do List

Intern Cheyenne, the biggest Chicago Bulls fan we know, has a plan for the Bulls to get past the Eastern Conference finals, where they lost 4-1 to the Miami Heat:

"The Chicago Bulls ended the 2010-11 regular season with the best record in the NBA at 62-20. Chicago’s defense was solid, allowing the second-fewest points per game, the lowest opponent field goal percentage and the lowest opponent 3-point field goal percentage.

Unfortunately, the Bulls’ season game to an end when the Miami Heat beat them 4-1 in the Eastern Conference finals. In that series, Chicago allowed just 87.6 points per game but averaged just 85.4.

Therefore, changes must be made.

The Chicago Bulls need another scorer; MVP point guard Derrick Rose can’t do it alone. Judging by the numbers, the Bulls’ defense doesn’t really need any work. Chicago needs a good starting shooting guard.

Who is a scoring shooting guard on the free-agent market this summer? Unrestricted free agent Jamal Crawford is a scoring shooting guard. Crawford averaged 14.2 points per game while coming off the bench for Atlanta. The Chicago Bulls also need someone to defend LeBron James, should they meet up with the Heat in the playoffs again. Small forward Luol Deng is a good player but is not physical enough to effectively defend LeBron.

If the Bulls could get Jamal Crawford, or a good scoring shooting guard and someone more physical to guard LeBron, they could be in line to win an NBA Championship."
