Thirty Story Arcs For 30 NBA Teams

CHICAGO BULLS: Derrick Rose‘s health is always something to watch. He has played 49 games since the end of the 2010-11 season and it figures to be slow going early on but an encouraging sign was Rose scoring 30 points in a preseason game against the Cavaliers and also played well defensively against Kyrie Irving. Joakim Noah is always worth the price of admission or league pass as he is the heart and soul of the Bulls, just ask Net fans who watched Game 7 two years ago. He is the best defensive player in the league and is a really good passer for a big man, becoming the first since David Robinson to lead a team in assists. The Bulls added Pau Gasol and Doug McDermott but Noah and Rose are the ones driving the ship.
