beat cleveland, sacramento, orlando......lost to the hornets. im not sure what their record at this point of the season proves. realistically i see them winning mid 40's with that frontline they still got. but lets not forget that the bulls without rose got bounced out of the playoffs last year by a fading 8th seed sixers team.... a team that until they played the bulls looked like ass for the last half of the season.

bulls will be decent but if we have a great year theyre very reachable.

I see the Bulls as a team around .500 without Rose.

The Bulls held opponents under 90pts in those wins and can play suffocating D. As long as they stay healthy they are still a tough team.

Did the Pistons trade for Gooden and i missed the news?

Drummond with the 'good effort good job' D.

It honestly looks like he's getting ready to box out for the rebound, realizes there won't be one so starts jogging up court.

tough like last years sixers? tough meaning what exactly? do you think they'll win over 50?

Right around 50, yes, +/- 2 or so depending on injuries

fair enough. i think 50 is reasonable... just less likely. 45 seems more likely to me. they have a great defense, great coach, real professional organization.... but their scoring ability is shallow and weak. deng and boozer are gonna have to stay healthy and have career best level productivity to get to 50 imo. either that or maybe a ftd salmons type acquisition could get them there.

This year's Bulls are a lot like the Skiles Bulls. I don't think they won 50 games, and I think the league is better now.

Detroit's kids are really green. I'm not a huge fan of their backcourt, but I like the frontcourt going forward. They're a ways away.

I thought the Knicks were the most underrated team in the league going into the season. I see a lot of personnel similarities between them and the championship Mavericks. Not saying they are headed for a title, but they're going to be a tough team. They'll defend and play disciplined, veteran ball.

My most overrated team was the Nuggets. I don't see how they are much different from the Bucks? I think their frontcourt is weaker, and their backcourt is a little better. I like Andre Miller, but I'm not a huge Igoudala guy. I think they have even less shooters. I think Gallo = Dunleavy JR.

I tend to agree, some people picking them 4/5 I'm more like 7/8. A deep team with no go to guy(like us).

I think Hollinger had the Nugs winning 60+ games. I don't see how that's possible when you have to give minutes to Javale McGee, Kosta Koufus, and Timothy Mosgoz - and you don't have a superstar player.

Hollinger does it based on PER, PER hates most stars and loves effective medium-low minute role players which Denver is full of.

PER sucks.

The Warriors have put 20 on the Cavs in 6 minutes.

Did you see Jesus with that beautiful low pass give to the cutting Curry for an easy bucket? I was a little sad he wasn't wearing green and giving it to Delfino.

Leuer sighting!

Rockets were bad tonight and have come back to Earth. Jeremy Lin has some work to do and Harden is going to have to work harder off the ball. Asik and Morris were good and Patterson had a very good game.

I picked my LP 5:

Washington
Milwaukee
Memphis
Utah
LA Lakers
