Let's hear your predictions for the 2012-2013 season...

What will the Bulls record be, and where will they finish?
What will the NBA finals match up be, and who will win in how many games?
Who will be Bulls MVP with Rose out for most of the year?
Who will be the NBA MVP?

And anything else you want to add...

48-34, 5th seed in the East.

Bulls vs Lakers, Lakers in 6. Rose comes back in early March giving him about 2 months to knock the rust off and he sets the league on fire during the playoffs. The Lakers size is too much and they win in 6.

Joakim Noah will be the team MVP, he averages 15/10 and is the starting C in the All Star Game.

Kevin Durant will be the MVP and wins another scoring title with career highs...Harden gets traded

The chances he gets traded are negligible, they're not a tax team this year and they'd need something pretty spectacular to mess with a title contender.

43-39, 6th seed in the East (I think the middle tier in the East is highly mediocre).

Without Rose, the team is slightly below .500 with one of their core guys (Deng, Boozer and Noah) missing a couple of weeks at some point. The Bulls play it safe with Rose and he takes a while to get back to 35+ minutes and carrying the offense. He spends most of his regular season "blending in" a bit with averages around 17-6 and relying on his jumpshot more than usual.

The playoff hopes for the Bulls are pretty much impossible to predict without any knowledge of Rose's health. If he's completely out (due to extreme caution or a setback), they lose in the first round. If he's playing but still off, I think they have a toss-up series with Indiana followed by a likely loss to Boston if they survive. If he's 100% healthy, they should beat Indiana and they can beat Boston, but I still don't see them getting past the Heat.

Heat/Thunder re-match in the Finals, Douchebags in 6.

Deng pretty much has to be their MVP since he's their only good perimeter player with Rose out. Noah/Boozer/Taj are important, but there are three bigs and only one Deng.

League MVP comes down to Lebron and Durant. It should be Lebron unless they pull a "we're sick of voting for this guy" and give it to someone else like Barkley in 92/93 and Malone in 96/97.

1. 50-32 ... 3 seed
2. Heat-OKC pt. 2 Thunder win in 5
3. Carlos Boozer continues his durable streak from last year and backs it up with some wicked production...20-10
4. Dwight Howard.

Boom. Somewhat pulling things out of my ass, somewhat making predictions that I want to root for.

I guess I underestimated OKC's willingness to mess with a title contender to save some money. Really odd timing of that, I'm shocked.

100% on my predictions so far.

I knew they wouldn't be able to resign him so it makes sense to get something for him. The get Martin to replace him this year and then they get Lamb and picks for the future.

They absolutely could have resigned him, their offer was only $4.5 mil under the max they could have given him.

Moot now though, he was a beast in his first game for Houston.

I know I am a day late, but I am going with 40-42 for the Bulls season, 8th seed.

Jo will be the Bulls MVP this year
Durant will win league MVP
Lakers over Heat in 6
