|
| |  | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS is healthy and got a much-improved supporting cast to work with. He could re-enter the NBA's best point guard discussion . . . JOE JOHNSON won't have the ballin his hands as much as he used to in Atlanta. It might give him a chance to concentrate on regaining his stroke as one of the NBA's best shooters . . . MARSHON BROOKS will look to settle in as a high-scoring sixth man. He'll be trade bait for most of the season . . . After a disastrous year in Chicago, C.J. WATSON will be asked to spell Williams for a few minutes a night . . . KEITH BOGANS is still kicking around as a second unit glue guy . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR is an at-times out-of-control combo guard, but the rookie could threaten Watson's role at some point. FORWARDS: KRIS HUMPHRIES' contract was structured to make him easier to trade. He'll rebound and get his put-backs, and the Nets will likely showcase him a bit . . . GERALD WALLACE is slowing down, and now that he's signed his last big NBA contract he might not have much incentive to live up to his 'Crash' nickname. Brooklyn has no choice but to give him heavy minutes considering their investment . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC is a veteran stretch four. Consider him a penniless man's Channing Frye . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA played himself into a roster spot this summer. He's a mediocre athlete, but a cagey scorer with a high basketball IQ . . . JOSH CHILDRESS and JERRY STACKHOUSE were added in September for depth . . . REGGIE EVANS will flop unconvincingly, punch opponents in the jewels and bring other 'tough guy' intangibles. CENTERS: BROOK LOPEZ had been remarkably durable before last year's foot injury, and he should be fully healed by the start of training camp. He's gifted offensively, but will continue to grab relatively few rebounds and generally get fried defensively. He's also a candidate to be traded midseason if another franchise can stomach his max contract . . . As insurance, former Wizards big man ANDRAY BLATCHE was brought in. He could be the team's best interior defender, able to play either the four or five spot. | | CHICAGO: GUARDS: The best guess on DERRICK ROSE is a February return. But an ACL injury usually isn't 100 percent until the second full year back . . . With Rose out, KIRK HINRICH figures to play heavy minutes early. He's a defensive specialist who will pass and watch on offense . . . NATE ROBINSON could push Hinrich for minutes. He's the offensive half of that platoon, but Thibodeau almost always leans defense . . . RICHARD HAMILTON will carry a bigger offensive load while Rose is recovering. He's a shadow of his former self . . . MARCO BELINELLI is a nice addition. He's solid defensively, and he brings the long-range shooting Chicago lacks. Don't be surprised if he pushes Hamilton . . . Rookie MARQUIS TEAGUE will mostly sit and watch this year. FORWARDS: After avoiding wrist surgery, LUOL DENG should be Chicago's top scorer while Rose is out. He's the only one on this team who even has a chance to generate his own offense . . . CARLOS BOOZER continues to be a major disappointment. In the past it's been his atrocious defense, but now he's taken a step back offensively as well. He may score more with Rose out, but he'll continue to sit late in close games . . . TAJ GIBSON should be in for a bigger role. With Omer Asik gone, he's one of only two defensively capable bigs on this roster . . . VLADIMIR RADMANOVIC will try to replace some of the three-point shooting they lost when Kyle Korver left . . . JIMMY BUTLER has a puncher's chance at a rotation spot after a good summer. CENTERS: JOAKIM NOAH was still working his way back from that badly sprained ankle this summer. His durability is questionable, but the Bulls will have to lean on Noah for more minutes now that Omer Asik is gone . . . NAZR MOHAMMED steps into Asik's role as Noah's backup. But while Asik was an active defender, Mohammed is more of just a big body with six fouls to give. |

*Nets-Bulls Preview* ====================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Brooklyn (34-25) at Chicago (33-25), 8:00 p.m. EDT
While the Chicago Bulls continue to be cautious with Derrick Rose, a historic performance by Joakim Noah only masked their ongoing offensive troubles without their star guard.
Things may not get any easier against the Brooklyn Nets, who have been stingy on the road lately.
The Bulls will try to beat the Nets for the 12th time in 15 home games on Saturday night.
Rose dunked four times in pregame warmups before the Bulls' 93-82 win over Philadelphia on Thursday, but it's still unclear just how close the former MVP is to making his season debut.
Joakim Noah did his part to kick-start Chicago's struggling offense against the 76ers, finishing with 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 11 blocks for his third career triple-double. He also tied the Bulls record for blocks in a regulation game, previously set by Artis Gilmore in 1977.
"It feels good, it feels really good to play well and win," Noah said. "It was a good win for us and hopefully we can build on it."
That victory was only the Bulls' fifth in 13 games in February. As a result, they've fallen to sixth - a half-game behind Brooklyn - in the Eastern Conference playoff standings.
Already one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NBA at 92.6 points per game, Chicago (33-25) has been even more anemic at 85.7 over its last seven. Those woes continued as it shot below 40.0 percent from the floor for the fourth time in seven games on Thursday.
The Bulls are 3-11 when they fail to shoot above that mark.
Noah had 12 points and 10 rebounds in an 83-82 victory over the visiting Nets on Dec. 15 before missing a 93-89 loss at Brooklyn on Feb. 1 because of a foot injury. Carlos Boozer and Kirk Hinrich also missed that defeat.
Marco Belinelli, sixth on the Bulls with 9.4 points per game, has averaged 18.5 in the two meetings this season and 17.6 while shooting 63.3 percent over his last five against the Nets. He could get the start if Richard Hamilton is unable to play after missing Thursday's game with back spasms.
The Bulls will try to turn things around offensively against a Brooklyn team that has limited opponents to 90.8 points per game while winning four of its last five on the road.
The Nets (34-25), though, dropped three games behind Atlantic-leading New York after their rally from a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit fell short in a 98-90 loss to Dallas on Friday.
"We didn't execute well, but worse we just didn't play with any defensive energy and the score went from like 10 to 20 in a very short time," said interim coach P.J. Carlesimo.
Deron Williams had 24 points for the Nets, who lost for the third time in four games overall. Brook Lopez added 19 and Joe Johnson 11 as he returned after missing the last three games with a foot injury.
Williams also led the Nets with 24 points in the team's last trip to Chicago, but missed a jumper with a chance to tie it in the final seconds. He had only 11 on 4-of-12 shooting in last month's home win, while Lopez finished with a game-high 20.
Brooklyn has put up only 88.3 points per game while shooting 41.1 percent in its last six trips to the United Center.
