If Boozer's defense will hold up in a 7-game playoff series vs Boston or Miami, then they will be in the finals. They brought him in for a big man presence, he needs to prove his mettle in a 7-game series
Rose ted all over the Spurs tonight. I have to say i'm impressed with the way Chicago played tonight. They played with a lot of energy. I can see this team upsetting a contender or 2 in the East.

Rose is easily the MVP right now, but in the playoffs, teams will stop Rose enough and make someone else beat them, so it will interesting to see who on the Bulls steps up in the playoffs. The Bulls are a scary team for sure though.
That's the problem awaiting the Bulls. Hopefully Noah can come back and his toughness will rub off on Boozer a bit. Boozer is a sissy for the mostpart and I think the Celtics have too many physical players for him to handle. Noah can handle Boston's just fine.
Not scared of the Heat though. Their atrocious frontline is tailor-made for a finesse player like Boozer to dominate.
They will have to play Boston in the 2nd round, they'll probably lose in 7 or so..they desperately need some perimeter talent..a team like Boston will make Bogans/Brewer beat them, and mediocre players of that kind, won't come through..
Boozer will also probably have difficulties against a Garnett/Perkins frontline..
I wouldn't be surprised to see them win though, it would be a very good series, as usual..
Whichever team gets the #1 seed in the East is at a huge advantage..Orlando/Atlanta is a massive downgrade from the top 3..
If Noah brings what he normally does NO ONE is closing them out easy ... best hope is to clog the paint and pray Deng and Korver are cold.
I dont think they win it all and making the Finals their first year together will be just as tough for them as it will be for the Heat ...but at least most of their core (noah, Rose Deng) have been together ...Miami is almost a whole new team ...
And who says the Bulls dont catch the heat or the Celts? Boston is hurting and Heat are only an injury away from being paper thin ...
Just because they beat the Spurs doesn't mean they'll be in the finals....
Spurs fan
Spurfan just trying to make themselves feel better IMO. Chicago is a good team but they shoot way too many jumpers to get to the finals. Rose has to go ape if they wanna even get to the ECF.
bulls are good. but not that good. I think Rose is MVP so far this season, but any team with size can make it hard for him in the paint. Man, I can just imagine if they picked up Lebron or Wade in the off season. They'd be scary as .
Bulls are my 2nd favorite team.
No team starting Keith Bogans will reach the finals, it's just not possible.
The Bulls are good, but they won't get past Boston or Miami.
The Bulls are a piece like Affalo away from being in the Finals, in my book. They play lockdown D and are going to have the best frontcourt in the NBA when Noah is back.I've been a big fan of Aaron Affalo since he came into the league. He would be a PERFECT fit. Reliable jumper, plays damn good defense (probably the only Nugget player who gives an effort). Would be a dream come true if the Bulls could get him. Bulls were actually trying to deal for JR Smith early in the season. Thank GOD that didn't materialize
Best frontcourt in the NBA?! Shirley you jest!
Depends on if you're counting SF or just talking big men. Noah and Boozer are beasts.Best frontcourt in the NBA?! Shirley you jest!
Rose had to go ape to beat the spurs. I do however see them beating Boston, cause Tibs is the only reason Boston was good on D to begin with
Gasol/Odom or Dirk/Chandler are still best frontcourts in the NBA
Odom doesn't start and he's a SF/PF hybrid, not a true big.
Dirk/Chandler is probably better than Noah/Boozer, but it's close. Noah and Boozer are about 50x better on defense and rebound a LOT better.
rofl gnsf riding the bulls nuts to make himself feel better about spurs getting raped last night
50x better on defense is quite an exaggeration, especially since Boozer is every bit as bad of a defender as Dirk is.
The Bulls won't be in the conference finals, ultimately they won't be able to score enough points with D-Rose having to shoulder so much of a load.
He's a worse defender.
pretty much hit the nail on the head. I think Boston would beat them in 6, maybe 5.
