Congrats Bulls fans We are in a dead lock for first with the season ending. Lets see how good of a closer rose is this year. First year it was rose's epic finals battle with Boston. Last year it was Rose's will to send a depleted traded off team to the play-offs. This year its rose's Will to send us to the championship.
I think we can be the number 1 seed, but a lot of things will have to take effect.
If we are tied at the end of the season , then they will look at our season series, if we are a 2-2 tie, then they are going to go by Division Winner, we are both winning are Divisions, so they will have to go into our record vs.top teams. We are a tie at a 7-4, then victory Margin. They will have a lot of things to go into effect. It will be a nice finish to the season, and into the Playoffs.
If we take care of business when it comes to beating teams we're supposed to beat we'll be just fine. There's alot of games against teams we should beat. We just have to make sure we show up, execute, and get the win.
There is a few tough games and those will be the difference but we can't afford to lose against a lesser team and have that be the reason we miss the 1 seed.
I say our chances are pretty good for finishing on top.
There are 17 games left and only 7 of them are against playoff teams: @Indy, @ATL, vs. Grizz, vs. 76ers, vs. Celts, @ Magic, and @ Knicks.
I feel pretty good we'll take at least five of them.
I could also see us maybe dropping a game vs. the Nets and choke away the undefeated division record vs. the Pistons.
That would put us at 13-4
With the Celtics, their schedule is a lot tougher IMO.
They also got 17 games left but they have 11 games against playoff teams: vs. Indy, @NO, @Knicks, vs. Grizz, @Indy, @Spurs, @ATL, vs. Philly, @Chi, @Heat, vs. Knicks.
I think at best they'll end of taking 7 of those games and dropping a game to Houston.
Putting them at 12-5.
So if the Bulls play tough I'll say they finish at 60-22 being one game ahead of Boston.
The Heat have 15 games left and to finish with 61 wins (We own tiebreaker). They would have to go undefeated from here on out.
as much trouble as boston has caused us in the past 3 years. WHY not go through them to take the east from them. Thats the way of destiny. Boston needs to fear us.
The Bulls have a chance to get back on top if they get a win against Deron and the Nets. I just checked some bulls forum and they think the Nets are gonna win. Not sure why would you guys think that.

We're better than the Nets, and not just via position in the standings. But Bulls fans' are cautiously optimistic when we play a hot team on the road, and we're the ones that are missing key players.
