I know I am in the minority on this topic, but I still struggle to see the Bulls as serious title contenders. I agree with most people that the addition of Pau Gasol was great, and I think Dougie McBuckets is going to be a solid pro, but until I see Derrick Rose come back and play strong basketball again, I just view this team as a greatly coached team with above average talent, who really do not have a shot at a title. If you see the Bulls as a true title contender, can you let me know is this simply because you fully expect Rose to come back at the same level he was playing two years ago, or do you see this team being true contenders without him?
