It’s expected that the Chicago Bulls will improve a lot this year. Not just because of all the pieces they've added in free agency, but because the front office also made a huge upgrade at Coach with Tom Thibodeau replacing Vinny Del Negro. I asked power forward Taj Gibson about the difference in coaching styles from last year to this year. “One coach is more of a laid … [Read more...] about Tom Thibodeau: New, Strong Leader for the Chicago Bulls

Milwaukee Bucks need to get out to a hot start
My favorite cliche is one that is always quoted, but rarely accepted: History will repeat itself. With an 8-3 start, including Brandon Jennings' 55 point coming out party, the start to the 2009-10 Milwaukee Bucks season was, at least from a won-loss record standpoint, a harbinger of things to come.

The new deal does guarantee that Noah will not become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
