Stop putting Chicago on the same level as Miami and Indiana

yes the Bulls just outhustled teams to the tune of winning %'s of 75 + for two seasons

this Pacers team has not accomplished anything to be considered a clear favorite over the Bulls

they didnt even win 50 games last season, the Bulls won 50 in the LOCKOUT season.

you of the moment fukks need to fall back.

Again the regular season doesn't mean shyt. It's all about the playoffs and so far the Pacers are the more proven playoff team.

I'd pick the Pacers over the Bulls in a series right now, and I expect them to flip Granger for something.

 

[LebronsHairline]

They need a better starting PG then George Hill, cuz him Lance Stephenson and Paul George cant throw a pass in the post to save their lives. actually now that i think about it, George Hill ALWAYS looks scared when he plays

its all about the playoffs and the Pacers have been more impressive in the postseason the last two years, though I do admire the heart the Bulls showed when they only had like 4 players vs. MIA

the bulls havent had rose for either playoff run, they were an absolute lock to the ECF in 11. whatever ill just wait to prove you wrong after a couple months into the season.

East is gonna be straight if there are no major injuries. I think Brooklyn will mesh well and jkidd will be very '98 Larry bird like where he wouldn't do much technical xs and os but him and all the veterans will basically keep things tight. The only diva/potential headcase is dwill, so if he buys into it then I like the nets right up there with mia and indy, barring injuries.

Chi, if healthy, I imagine will be no worse than their 2010/2011 team.. tho I'm not sure if they'd be any better now given the asik/butler swap, the hinrich addition, and now nate and bellineli leaving. If all 4 teams are in their best case scenario health and chemistry wise, I can't see em beating MIA, indy or BK, but itd be a hell of a series to watch.

That entire 2nd round will be crack rocks, and so will whichever one of the 4 + new York has to play each other 1st round in that 4/5 matchup

Bulls Heat Knicks are my top 3 seeds next year

 

[red222]

There is alot of prisoner of the moment analysis going on in this thread. Until Paul George becomes a top 10 player you cant even put Indiana in the discussion. Our strengths are the same as theirs and we are better at those than they are. Until further notice Heat vs Bulls ECF.

you should hear all these bulls fans around here talking about the team next year.. it sickens me

In what way? As in they will win it all or they are trash?

they literally are acting as if this team is the Dream Team. like, they are definitely a top five team in the east but i really cant see them overtaking the heat, pacers, or even the nets if that all works out in NJ with their current roster, even if D Rose comes back 100%.

 

[Propaganda]

what happens in the regular season depends on when decides to remove his tampon and play. if he isn't laced up for pre-season, then someone needs to kick his ass. literally. in the playoffs the bulls still ain't beating the heat if rose remains their only big scoring threat.

paul george's emergence definitely makes the pacers vs. bulls conversation a lot more interesting. they're good enough to beat the bulls...and they haven't even moved granger yet.

the nets haven't proven anything they have a rookie coach and are hoping their additions can stay healthy. I put them in the wait and see department which is fair. Indiana still is missing a top player anybody that loves ball is intrigued by Paul George, His game is nice but again a "reasonably" healthy bulls team matches up well with them. Now to your point of the Bulls not being a top 5 team who is better???

id take the unproven nets over this, what i would say, is an unproven bulls team just based on the fact you dont know what you're going to get out of drose yet.

i really dont feel like granger will comeback to be anywhere near the player he was & i feel as if the pacers wouldn't of been able to do what they did last year with danny granger healthy just because it messes up their outstanding chemistry they had going last year.

but i said the bulls were a top 5 team
