NBA Power Rankings: Here come the Golden State Warriors

(9-5). Previous: . Chicago Bulls. 8. team. 24. The Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler experiment has not gone particularly well for the Chicago Bulls. The Wade and Butler combination has been outstanding for them however. Rondo was once a highly-sought after top-notch NBA point guard and now he’s losing minutes to Jerian Grant. Fred Hoiberg’s job was on the line if the Bulls had another disappointing season, but 14 games in they look like a lock to make the NBA Playoffs this year. Butler has been nothing short of phenomenal for this team and if he can continue to produce at this level it won’t be long before I’m eating my words on every thing bad I said about this franchise prior to the season starting. Things are looking pleasantly up in the Windy City and the hope would be that this good start is more than just a flash in the pan. Jimmy Butler’s clairvoyant call out of a 40-point game against the Los Angeles Lakers is the type of story legends are made of. Butler has been nothing short of great for the Bulls this season and the longer he can keep that up then the longer this team will find itself ranked in the top 10 in these power rankings.
