Will the bulls finally catch the spurs?

Bulls have a better rec vs WC than Spurs vs EC.

Spurs 23-7 vs East
Bulls 23-7 vs West

With the #1 seed in the west locked up, I will be surprised if Manu, Tim, and Dice don't get some rest. Maybe not the Utah game, but I can't see Pop taking any unnecessary risk in LA. Probably wants to keep some rhythm going, so I doubt they will bench the older guys entirely. I feel certain the Bulls position will not be the primary reasoning for much in the way of preparing for the real show.

Spurs before the season said they wanted HCA, and that includes the Finals.

Barring a major letdown the Bulls will officially lock up #1 seed in the East against the Cavs tonight. I think Thibs is going to rest his guys rather than go for the best record. No sense risking injury this late in the season.
