I couldn't agree more with everything you wrote, FJ. The one saving grace I take away from the Bulls' front line is that they go five deep. I think last night's game provides a pretty good indication for how things will play out. If Boozer is struggling against longer players than Gibson and Thomas are going to get extended run. I also agree about Boozer's defense last night. It may have been his best of the season. He's was following guards to the hoop, forcing off balanced shots, and then sweeping in for the rebound. Overall, it was a pretty strong showing for him, despite his struggles against Jermaine O'neil.
Completely agree F_J with your take on Deng. Have felt that way for sometime now. His defense is out right stellar! Pippenesque if you will. As for Boozer. Yes you are right. But dont worry. We win with Boozer, we win without him. Just having Carlos on the floor, the possible threat of his offense is enough to make teams defend him. Then when teams double team Rose, that leaves Deng open to do his thing. Even when Boozer misses, Noah can tip a couple back in. We will be fine with Boozer I came out of my seat during the game when Boozer blocked Garnett! Woe!!
