Circus Report

The annual nonsensical Circus road trip that the Bulls and Blackhawks have to go on every year has once again come to a close.  Results were very good for the second year in a row.

BULLS
11/16 @Houston   W95-92
11/17 @San Antonio   L94-103
11/19 @Dallas   W88-83
11/23 @San Antonio   L91-98
11/24 @Phoenix   W123-115
11/26 @Denver   L97-98
11/27 @Sacramento   W96-85
Overall 4-3

This year was the first year that the Bulls have come off the road trip with a record over 500 since the Jordan era (97-98).  They could have easily been 5-2, losing to Denver on a last second shot.  This team is for real.  I am very excited.  Derrick Rose has been absolutely brilliant so far.  The best part is, Boozer returns this week.  I don't think they will fully hit their stride for another week or two but when they do, watch out.  They could become dominant.  They will be a serious contenders.  I agree with Charles Barkley's latest assessment; the Bulls are gonna win the East.

BLACKHAWKS
11/17 @Edmonton   W5-0
11/19 @Calgary   L2-7
11/20 @Vancouver   W7-1
11/24 @San Jose   L2-5
11/26 @Anaheim   W4-1
11/27 @Los Angeles   W 2-1
Overall:  4-2

The Blackhawks had a solid road trip for the second year in a row.  It has taken a while but it looks like they are finally starting to return to their Stanley Cup form of last year.  It's taken a little while to get this team rolling but hopefully they will start to reel off some wins now.  Losing Hossa for a couple weeks is gonna hurt though.

Enough with these Circus trips already.  Who really goes to the Circus anyways, I mean seriously?
