CHICAGO -- Jimmy Butler has a sore heel, Derrick Rose has a blurry eye, Mike Dunleavy has a balky back, Kirk Hinrich is one more leg injury from the glue factory, and Joakim Noah's busted swag flickers on and off like an old lightbulb.
But no one cares about excuses when it comes to the star-crossed Chicago Bulls, just the results. Even in late November. After all the injuries, heartbreak and drama, this team is judged on a nightly basis and more times than not in this early season, fans are left scratching their heads pondering what they just watched.
