Despite Injuries, Bulls Continue To Roll
The Chicago Bulls spent a lot of money over the offseason to put together this year's roster. And while they haven't had their full roster available for much of the season, the team still leads the Central Division.
They started the season without free-agent acquisition Carlos Boozer, and shortly after his Bulls' debut, the team lost center Joakim Noah to a hand injury.
"When Carlos came back, Joakim was messed up, he wasn't 100%, and Carlos was getting into shape himself," Bulls' guard Derrick Rose said of the team's early season injury problems.
But the Bulls have played well enough through injuries to sit third in the Eastern Conference. And it's only natural to think of what the team will be capable of once the full roster is available.
While Noah is still recovering from hand surgery, Boozer missed Monday's game with an ankle injury that, fortunately, isn't considered serious.
"We're just trying to work it out," Rose said. But when we get both of them back I think that we're going to be a hard team to beat."
