Bulls drub Pistons, Beat Celtics on Road

The Bulls stand at 17-20 after an impressive walloping of the Detroit Pistons 120-87. They followed up that effort with a 96-83 victory on the road in Boston in what may have been their most impressive victory of the season. Both wins were team efforts but Luol Deng stood out with 25 points against Detroit and 27 points on 8 of 13 shooting against Boston. This leads to some conversation amidst a period when Vinny Del Negro's job was questioned and numerous trade rumors regarding the likes of Chris Bosh of Toronto and Butler and Jamison of Washington. Despite all these rumors, the Bulls are playing well having won 7 of 10. They are finally healthy and not dealing with press releases calling for the imminent firing of their head coach. With the Wizards, Warriors, and Clippers serving as the next three games on their schedule, the Bulls have an opportunity to be back at .500 before the All Star Break. Continuing their recent effort, with Rose, Noah, and even Deng playing for a potential all star selection, and others like Hinrich, Thomas, and Miller playing to prove their worth before the trade deadline may propel the Bulls who stand at the 8th seed but are only 2 games back of the fifth seeded Heat. Yet, the Bulls are still 19th in the NBA in terms of record, so lets not get too carried away, we'll discuss soon.
