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? |

If there happens to be a 3-way tie (meaning the Nets lose, the Wizards lose, and Orlando wins) for the 6th, 7th, and 8th seeds, Orlando would get the 7th and would play the Bulls.
So assuming the Cavs beat Milwaukee, the Bulls need NJ, WAS, and ORL to all lose in order to face the Wizards in round 1. Tonight's games will be vital: Bulls vs Nets, Cavs vs Bucks, Wizards vs Pacers, and the Heat vs Magic. So, to break it down a bit further: If the Nets, Wizards, and Magic all lose...then Bulls #2, Magic #8, Nets #6, Wizards #7. If the Nets, Wizards. and Magic all win...then Magic #8, Nets #6, Wizards #7. BUT, that would mean the Bulls lost, so we'd have to hope Cleveland loses it's game so the Bulls could retain the 2 seed. So obviously, in any scenario in which the Nets win, the Bulls would need the Cavs to lose to hold the 2 seed.
