The Bulls are currently in the #5 slot for the playoffs and the only other realistic position looks like the #2 if they overtake Cleveland.
Right now the #5 will play the Southeast Division winner (Washington/Miami) while the #2 plays the #7 (New Jersey/Orlando). Who would you guys rather see the Bulls play? Obviously the #2 would have home court advantage where the Bulls have dominated, but as of right now they are #5. So the second question is, if they stay at #5, would you rather go to Washington or Miami? |

We just took 2nd Place!!!! Thats what Im talkin about!!!!
Cavs play the Wizards without Arenas or Butler tomorrow and we got the Nets. We need a convincing Bulls win and a solid Cavs loss to give us some breathing space. Hopefully this OT wore them out a little and Antwan Jamison has a big game! |

Im pretty confident Cleveland is gonna win that game. I dont think weve beaten new Jersey all year. this would be a good time to start. |

I'm pretty confident they won't. I really think that the Wizards are going to try and prove they still have some ballers on that team. Antonio Daniels, Stevenson & Jamison will step up big and give the Bulls some breathing room. (That's if the Bulls take care of business). |

Antonio Daniels, Stevenson & Jamison will step up big and give the Bulls some breathing room. (That's if the Bulls take care of business). After comparing the remaining schedules of both teams its going to be a tight race. Heres my predictions - Cavs Remaining Games 6th Washington - W 8th Detroit - L 12th New Jersey (Home) - L 14th Atlanta (Home) - W 17th Philadelphia - W 18th Milwaukee (Home)- W 4 Wins - Cavs Final Record - 49-31 Bulls Remaining Games 6th New Jersey - W 8th Toronto - W 10th New York - W 13th Charlotte - W 15th Washington - W 18th New Jersey - L 5 Wins - Bulls Final Record - 50-31 = Bulls hold onto Number 2 Seed |

Now the Bulls only have to match the Cavs the rest of the way. I figure 4 wins will be enough to at least tie them. I don't see the Cavs winning 5 of 6. So if the Bulls can go 4-2 and at least tie the Cavs, the 2nd seed is ours.
So the 1st round matchup for the #2 seed is going to be NJ or ORL. The #5 seed will get MIA or TOR. The #2 seed is critical, because the 2nd round matchup would be vs the 3-6 winner, and not Detroit. |
