5) Stop Derrick Rose from penetrating to the basket. Make his teammates become scorers. Make Rose give up the basketball before he can drive to the hoop.
4) Block out Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah from grabbing those loose balls and rebounds. Don't let Noah and Boozer outhustle you.
3) Play your basketball game. Don't let the Bulls run their half-court sets and basketball plays. If the game falls in the Bulls' tempo, you must not let go of the game. Call time-out.
2) The Bulls rely on pinpoint passing and ball movement. Make the Bulls offense stagnant. Make Rose give up the ball to an open teammate and let the open teammate decide what to do with the basketball. Don't let Rose get the ball back.
1) Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau likes to rely on his bench to help out the starters in late quarters. Your bench must be able to produce as well as the Chicago bench. Be prepared to produce hustle, points, rebounds, and defensive intensity against the likes of C.J. Watson, Ronnie Brewer, Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver, Omer Asik, and Kurt Thomas.
