Talk about a win that colored me unimpressed. Sure no Rose, but no Melo and more and a piss poor opponent to boot (once again LT recklessness doesn't equal success) but this Bulls team is touted as one of the deepest squads in the league and they flat out underperformed.

Gasol, Brooks, Butler, and Mirotic played well. Rest of the team, not so much. Although Hinrich came out of his slump Snell couldn't do anything against a bad Knicks team. Even when McDermott comes back, we need another wing. Snell ain't it.
