When an earthquake is unleashed, there is an energy being released as massive tectonic plates which are unseen enter into massive friction and something finally gives way. You may not see the friction or be aware of the fault lines that you stand on, but you definitely can see the results when this friction erupts in seismic waves capable of devastation.
The Bulls have friction. A lot of it is only revealed from suspect sources or as hearsay, but from Joakim Noah to Pau Gasol to Derrick Rose and the departed Luol Deng right on through to the team’s most recent long-term commitment, Jimmy Butler.
