Bulls believers, tbh..
This is actually dead on IMO.
law of averages tells you everything tends to go back to the median.
even with a ty Rose, bulls will eventually get it together to be good enough to win a couple of series. IMO East Finals will be attended by either Brooklyn, Chicago or Indiana still.
On the other hand, the Clips/Rockets have no chance in in round 1 (unless they face each other or face an inured team)
Clips + Rockets are so overrated compared to Bulls, they belong in a different stratosphere
Bulls will be good enough to be a top 3 seed because of coaching/system and reverting to the means, but they have the same issues they've always had, which is lack of scoring options..I still don't know why so many people ignored that and picked them to win the East this year, tbh..
I think regular season friendly teams tend to be overhyped, like the Clippers and Rockets
whenever people force Clippers to play half court and pressure Paul, they look pretty bad.. I don't even think Griffin is a good player anymore, let alone an all star....I've watched him a lot this year, he just looks terrible posting up and he's kind of small too.. outside shot is very average too... I think the team will go as JJ Red goes, he's been playing very well.. But if I had to bet my house, Clippers would lose to any tactically sound team like us, or the Grizzlies, yet again
The Rockets just look completely disordered.. I don' trust McHale's coaching too.. honestly, their offense looks as unorganized as the Knicks, and the defence looks all over the place.. of course they can progress during the season, but they just look average as
Why isn't the warriors on OP's option?
Seriously one of the most overrated teams in the west right now. If your two best players can't defend for , you're not going to win ...
So, it's already beginning, tbh..another off-season of unjustified Bulls hype coming up..
imagine the storylines if they land Melo tbh. combined with The Return 2.0So, it's already beginning, tbh
Lkrfan with additional kisses of death in this thread, adding to his resume, tbh
Hornets78 made some solid predictions in the beginning of this thread tbh.
Not surprising, one of the most underrated posters, tbh..
I can be solid when I take my emotions out of it.
dont' think clips are overrated. Not even their coach believes in them
the Bulls are easily 2nd best team in the East from day 1.
Spurs easily most overrated team right now.

What's the word on Rose? Is he coming back?
according to reports he is ready and waiting and have been since around the end of the regular, which is not surprising since his injury really wasn't that bad. He said he wants to play for team usa (incredibly re ed imo), so we may see him soon (although i can't find a reason why would a coach want him on the team).
If Rose is healthy (huge if) & the pick up Melo (again, if) do you not think with the additional scoring they can be a legit threat to win the East? They still lack depth/scoring overall, but Melo goes a long way to help that department at a position of need.
It seems like if Rose is healthy, they now have a legit 2nd offensive option and enough defensive players (Taj/Noah/Butler) in addition to scheme to cover up for Melo.
The East is just so bad and depending on what MIA does to add depth, it could be wide open.
I think they would be legit with Carmelo, I just don't understand why people kept hyping up a team led by Derrick Rose and without a legit #2 creator, and no offensive bigs
Not sold on the Bulls being better than Miami/Indy until I see how Rose looks. If he's about 75-80% of what he used to be and they get Melo, they leapfrog Indy. If he's less than 50
I'm not sure Melo is willing to put in the work to be a contender. I think he's chasing stats.
Nothing really matters in the East until we hear what's happening to the Heatles, IMO
I do question whether Carmelo could play for a hard-ass, demanding coach, tbh..
Why wouldn't he just stay in NY then? There are no real expectations there if he did decide to stay. He could shoot his usual 15 for 45 and score his 30 points a night and no one would more than likely care.
