we still need HCA over Boston and Miami, no way is Chicago getting out of the east


You want to place a bet on that?

Biggest Threat is Miami...hands down. We can beat boston in a 7 game series but the heat have our #. Lebron has beaten Kobe 9 times out of the last 10 games

Boston and Miami are better IMO. So why not?

God I hope we have HCA over Boston and Miami. I dont care about the Rest. We beat the Spurs easily in 5 or 6 and the Bulls have no experience. Maybe they come out of the East, but Im nit scared about them. Would actually be amazing if they reach the Finals. rose would have to average 40 for them to have a chance. Only thing I want is hca over celts and cheat

Spurs clinched HCA last night, so looks like we just need to worry about staying ahead of the Heat and Celtics at this point. We really shot ourselves in the foot with these last two losses. It's really mind-boggling how we put ourselves in a position to control our own destiny, then pissed it all away. This team has too many mental lapses. I guess as long as we don't have them in the post-season it's nothing to be concerned about, but it's still disturbing nonetheless.

Our bench straight up sucked last night and cost us the game.

Good thing I fell asleep in the middle of the 3rd last night. Not really surprised we're losing. You can tell by their body language that they're taking things easy.

You're right, he has. Hasn't stopped Kobe from getting finals MVP the last two years has he? We have never played LeBron in the playoffs before, so I would take that 9 of 10 thing with a grain of salt.

I bet they won't either, you're mighty truculent man.........but unless you got major C-notes to back up the confident bet I would ease back on that thought a little.

Bulls are real IMO. I just think the thing that will catch up to them is experience. That's truly the only way I don't see them coming out of the East. I think Miami or Boston can out whit them when it counts the most.

Bulls are very good. They gave the Celtics fits for 2 straight seasons with a terrible coach in Del Negro and without a good post scoring option. Now they have both in Thibs and Boozer and Deng is ballin. Their bench is much stronger, good big man depth and Rose is just unguardable at times. I really doubt Miami or Boston can beat them in a 7 game series.

They really got better by becoming the best defense in the league. We can beat them in a series because LO & Pau play Booz better and Bynum matches up with Noah. Artest does well on Deng and Kobe can give Bogans and Brewer/Korver fits.

Having Rose go off is a risk we always take when they push the pace, which is our weakness.

Yeah, the Bulls are suddenly looking like the team that'll come out of the East. I still don't want to count out the Celtics, but without Shaq contributing a solid 30+ a night they don't stand much of a chance against even the Heat. It's too bad, because I really wanted another shot at them. Assuming we make it out of our own conference, that is.
