What Can We Take From the Bulls Preseason?

So right now it's impossible for any Bulls fan to be excited about what they have seen this preseason without hearing someone who roots for another team right there to remind us that it's the preseason. Still, the Bulls are undefeated, and it's not like anyone has just rolled over for them. Still though, there is a lot of truth to what they say, it is just preseason. However, their intention when they say that is to insinuate that there is nothing to be excited about despite everything that has happened during the preseason. This just isn't true. In fact, there is a lot of things that can be looked at as very good things that we have seen. Sure, nothing ensures that this team will contend for a championship, but it does point the team in the right direction

Chicago Bulls and NBA 2013/2014 Season Preview

The NBA season is just around the corner. Basketball at one point was my favorite sport to follow. The game itself is still a great game, but the league itself has been wearing on me. Star calls and superteams, rather they're good or not, are just not the NBA that I remember growing up with. I don't mind change at all, but as long as it's good. I prefer when teams are built up through good coaching and the draft. I prefer when if a game is called poorly, it's called poorly both ways. However, it's still basketball, and it's still at the highest level in the world, and it's almost impossible for me to not get excited about it.

Cubs Prospects Giving Good Reason to be Excited

I am a follower of the Cubs blog bleachernation.com. It's a great blog run by someone who is clearly a Cubs fan, but at the same time, smart about what he says. The man's name is Brett Taylor, a former lawyer turned blogger. Maybe it's because he's a lawyer, but he was one of the people who convinced me early on that what Theo Epstein is doing with the Cubs is the right thing. Now, saying a prospect is a sure thing is always a stupid thing to say. However, you can be more and more sure as they move up. On top of that, the more prospects you bring in, the better the chance is that you get some that succeed. Especially when they're succeeding in a higher league.
