There is a thread on the Bulls board "Would Boston Sweep us in a 7-game Series"?

Majority of the posters on the Bulls board are saying yes (36 to 21).

I know I am a Bulls fan, and I voted there as well, I did say NO there. Boston will definitely win but I think Bulls will win 1 if not 2 against Boston.

The thing is that Bulls just didn't show up for any of the games against Boston and were just sleep walking. When Bulls do come to play, they can actually beat any team. When I say beat them, don't mean win the series but a game or two. The problem with this year's Bulls team is lack of focus and not being ready to play etc. - which should not be the case in the playoffs (atleast I hope).

I personally would rather face Pistons any time than Celtics coz we match up FAR Far better against Pistons than Celtics.

Anyways, which team would you guys rather face in the first round out of Chicago/Philly/Atlanta/New Jersey???

I think we cream any of those teams so it comes down to revenge and who I have the best chance of attending a game at.

The Nets have beaten Boston in the playoffs fairly recently and they were not kind about it. I remember RJ calling us a very arrogant team. So I wouldn't mind wiping that smirk off his face and the people of NJ and just sweeping them in a 7 game series. Besides that, I currently reside in NY and can easily attend a game in NJ were no fans will be.

Of those four, I think the Nets want to hit the golf course more than the others.

I'd rate them as follows:

Nets
Chicago
Philly
Atlanta (lots of youth, nothing to lose attitude)

That's what every teams fan says that has gotten blown out by Boston. I don't buy this at all.
