There is something special about the experts, about all those analysts with their spread sheets and mathematical formulas, the TV talking heads. We've got to admit it. They know the game. After all, wasn't that what they all were saying this summer: That we're not sure how the Bulls are going to score, but watch out for their dawgs and their defense.
Maybe call them the bizarro Bulls.
Because in a funhouse mirror way in which their reflection seemed everything but we expected, the Bulls shot poorly, were slow and stagnant on offense, plodding at times and isolation oriented.
