Fact to me Flip Saunders offensive minded philosophy ruined the Pistons and in turn Ben Wallace. As good, a defender as Ben Wallace is when you’re left on an island guarding a guy who weighs 325 pounds you’re going to struggle no matter how good you are. The Bulls play great team defense, and always have a help guy coming from the weak side so I don’t think we will see a situation like the ECF again this season. Especially with Shaq set to have a down year (imo). Fact or Fiction: A Bulls player will win one of the end of the season awards (MVP, MIP, DPY)
Fiction: I dont think that the bu win any of those awards. I think they will finally give DPY to Prince. MVP to Kobe. MIP may be Dwight Howard. The bulls get no love. Fact or Fiction: Will Chicago sweep the summer league?
Who's price? Fiction - I don't think we will. We didn't last season, I think we went like 5 or 6 and 1. And we probably had a better roster then. Fact or Fiction - During the season Ben Wallace will get in an argument with Scott Skiles?

Behind closed doors who knows. Fact or fiction: After being arrested at the "taste of chicago" will the Bulls find a new Benny the Bull?
Fact - Why do all of them get in trouble.. I'm guessing he will be gone. Fact or Fiction - Will Ben Wallace average 2.5 blocks per game?
Fact I really think he will come into this season with new inspiration to prove to everyone he is still a dominant defensive force despite a poor series against Miami. The fact that so many people are taking credit away from him and calling him a “system player” is also added motivation. Fact or Fiction: Ben Gordon becomes a consistent 20 points per game guy next season? (Meaning at least 20 night in and night out)
Fiction. While I think he'll average 20 or so per game, I don't think he'll do it every night. He's an explosive scorer and everything, but he has to rely on his jump shot a little too much since he's undersized. So, do I think he's going to be a 20+ average guy? Yes. Consistently, on a night to night basis..probably not. Fact or Fiction: We have a double double guy this year.
Fiction I think PJ Brown will average double digit rebounds, as will Wallace, but I don’t see them scoring double digit points. I think Brown might have a shot if he consistently averages a large amount of minutes, but as the season progresses I expect Skiles to cut, Brown’s PT down and further integrate Tyrus into the offense. Fact or Fiction: We have at least one representative in the dunk contest.
Undecided. I know Tyrus has got the leaping ability, but there are a lot of other great candidates for it as well. I think it's possible but, who knows. Depends on what he displays during the first half of the season. Fact or Fiction: Bulls lead the league in overall defense.
Fact - It is very possible with the addition of P.J Brown and Wallace in the frontcourt, and Thabo to guard taller guards and keep the pressure off of Hinrich. Fact or Fiction: Luol Deng has a break out season
First off, before I reply I would just like to welcome you to the site man. Good to have another Bulls fan hope you stick around. I am going to have to go undecided on this one. It is tough to say I think if he gets a significant boast in playing time he can average about 17-18 a game this season. With that said, I do not think it happens with the presence of Nocioni on the squad. You also have to believe Sefolosha will see time at the three as well. Fact or Fiction: Someone on the Bulls gets two or more triple doubles this season.
Fiction. With so many people contributiong on our team those are hard to come by. Although I beleive Hinrich gets 1 a year. He could probably pull 3 out of his ass but i doubt it. Fact or Fiction: Ben Gordon will drop 50 before his career is over.
Fact and I will do you one better, I will tell you the team he goes for 50 against, the New York Knicks. Gordon has done so many things to the Knicks over the past two seasons the only thing left is for him to drop 50 on them. He always seems to play out of his mind in Madison Square Garden. Fact or Fiction: We resign Gordon and Hinrich long term.
Fact: If we dont we would be foolish. They have played Well together for 2 years and it will only get better. They might be the next Isaih and Dumars (just a comparison). They have even reached their peak yet. Why makes them good in my book its rare when they both have a bad night. When one is off the ther is always there to pull the load. Fact or Fiction:Bulls will be natoinaly televised alot. (like the Spurs Cavs or Heat do)
Fact. The Bulls already have their own station in Illinois. Comcast Sports Net, they play on it most days. And I do believe the first game they play the Pistons it will probably be on ESPN. Fact or Fiction - Aaron Miles gets signed by the Bulls?
Fact if we do not I will be extremely surprised with Pargo out we will need someone to fill that role. A guy who can step in should an injury occur and be an instant spark plug off the bench. Miles has been the best player on our summer league roster in my opinion. He has shown the ability to get to the basket, and finish in the middle of traffic. His jump shot is shacky, but something we can work on. Fact or Fiction: Songaila returns next season?
Undecided: I would love to see him back, becuase he can hit that open jump shot from the top of the key in the pick and roll. I also believe that he said he wanted to come back, but it all depends on what Pax decides to do. Fact or Fiction: Hinrich dunks two or more times this season?
Fact - I think he had about 2 last season, he does them occasionally on fast breaks, because he usually just lays it in. Just like Iverson occasionally dunks. Everybody knows he could dunk, but only does it a few times. Fact or Fiction - Tyrus Thomas gets 20 points in a game next season? (Not average)
I think it's fact. He'll have one of those nights where his shot is dropping and when he's getting his way in the post (ala Andrew Bynum dropping 16 against the Heat on 7/7). Fact or Fiction: The Bulls sustain another injury this year, damaging playoff chances (much like when we lost Curry and Deng a couple seasons back).
Undecided- after the trades, the bulls are a little deeper than they were in years past; but sustaining an injury to a big leaves them where they were before- with a weak interior. This would result in more minutes on aging Cs/PFs and may even require Noc or Tyrus to fill in. It will be a little harder to make a playoff push if we lose a big. It essentially relies on how Tyrus can adapt to the NBA level of play. An injury in the backcourt, on the otherhand, can easily be filled with the surplus of guards we already have. This is especially true if J.R. Smith can turn himself around and make use of that potential. If we loose both Noc and Big Ben, it takes a lot of the grittiness out of our games and makes it a very tough road to the playoffs. So it all depends on they players we lose, but I believe that we can rebound more easily from a guard injury than a frontcourt injury. Fact or Fiction: ABC will continue to play crappy music all season during their pregame/halftime/post game shows.
