Predict the Bulls final 8 games of reg season

[jc23]

glad i didnt post in this thread, i would have looked foolish.

3rd seed & Milwaukee in the 1st. Let's not give LBJ a series off here. They're going to have to play some defense on Dragic/Deng/Whiteside/Wade. Stlll should beat em in 5. Too bad Bosh isn't around.

Next 8, we'll lose 1. Not sure to who but it's mainly a cakewalk.

8 more games for Niko to get warmed up and even more comfortable. I expect a great and long postseason.

cot dayyyyyum!!! its a new day lol. Completely off I am, or are they?

Thibs headed to another 50 win season.

Fire him!

This is starting to look like a stretch. They got to go 4-0 to make it happen. Not very likely.

Bahahahhaah and I said we were gonna go 8-0 and we are 1-3 so far. Man you just never know with this team.

I don't know if we'll beat Miami tomorrow. It's a back to back and they're playing for a playoff spot.

Everyone has been saying that Atlanta is gonna rest guys but they have been playing their starters against good teams and blowing them out in the process. I think they will play everyone to finish the regular season strong and sweep the Bulls. Brooklyn has been playing well lately also beating teams like Portland and Toronto.

The only W I feel good about is Philly but we did have to go into OT last time to beat them.

So in the words of our MVP: Who knows?

We're going to go 1-3 to end the season unless the Hawks are resting their main guys in the final game and then we could do 2-2.

Thibs going to end his tenure with the Bulls with two 50 win seasons.

This is why you had to pick these final 8 games as a basketball fan and not a Bulls fan. 4-4 is looking generous the way they've played this month.

[Mobby]

5-3 total, I think. That's down from my original 7-1. Hopefully that gives us enough to take the 3 seed since the Raptors have the tiebreaker.

I don't get it. You started with 7-1. We lost 3 out of the first 4 (two of those games to sub .500 opponents) and you update it to 5-3? You think we're going to go 4-0 after seeing this team like they did this week? We're going to win in Miami in the back-to-back? Are we going to win in Brooklyn? Are we going to beat the Hawks?

Not sure we're seeing the same games.

Posted before the Magic game, but to answer your questions: yep yes yes yes, aaaand most definitely.

OK, then I guess you'll have to do a lot more revising, starting from tonight.

Not unheard of to fire a coach who wins 50 games and then get better.

Note: Not an indictment on Thibs, just that winning 50 games means you can't possibly add a better coach.

Sig bet? You don't have one anyway. If Bulls win tonight, I get your sig till the start of playoffs, if Heat win, you get my sig.

1. I'm not ever going to bet against the Bulls.
2. What's the point of a sig bet? If I win, its just more work for me.

Wed, Apr 1 @Milwaukee - W
Fri, Apr 3 vs Detroit - L
Sun, Apr 5 @ Cleveland - XXL (board starts screaming and chanting and demanding the return of Rose)
Wed, Apr 8 @Orlando - L (Rose returns but is rusty - board proclaims Rose's career is done!)
Thu, Apr 9 @ Miami - W (OT victory)
Sat, Apr 11 vs Philadelphia - W
Mon, Apr 13 @ Brooklyn - W
Wed, Apr 15 vs Atlanta - XXL (half the board commits mass suicide, one quarter of the board demands Rose is traded, while the remaining quarter demand a Thibodeau firing!)

4 - 4 (.500)

Just how ill is Taco Daddy? Over the first six of the last eight games (say that 20 times fast) I have Chicago's record pegged exactly: 3 - 3. Of course I got Milwaukee and Detroit mixed up. We lost to the Bucks and beat the Pistons. Oh well, can't get them all right.

Good call, but I think we lose the Nets game and the Hawks game will depend on whether they rest their starters.

It is quite possible. I've learned when trying to predict what a team's record will be I am usually right about the w/l amounts, but teams will lose to other teams they should beat and beat teams they should lose to. Go figure. LOL.

We're taking it to the hole with these last two, and the Raptors are losing to the Cs! 3 seed, here we come!!
