No.
thoughts?
They should get into the playoffs but, experience will factor in and they will probably have an early exit.
they are alot like the 04 verison of the pistons. the PF spot not as much but everywhere else they are comparable
Playoff team yes, not yet a contender
The Bulls are going to surprise everyone this year, bet on it
I would take the 04 Pistons in a 4, maybe 5 games.
Yes, but it will be very tough.
Bulls can contend for a le. I think alot of people are underestimating them. They do have good players like hinrich, gordon, nocioni, pj, and big bengay wallace and a good solid bench........ what is their starting lineup anyway?
They'll be a legit team and contend, but they won't get too far. I don't see them getting past Cleveland, Miami, and Detroit. If they some how do they'll have to face a Spur, Sun, or Maverick team. Bulls will make it to the second round with the Heat, Pistons, and Cavs but that's it.
The bulls can get past the heat... the cavs can light em up though....
The Bulls are going to have a very good record this year. The East, once again, is terrible.
The east is wide open enough that I could see them making a deep run in the playoffs, even getting to the finals. But I can't see them beating the best that the west has to offer.
I'm pretty sure many of you will be shocked. Coaching? Check. Talent? Double check. Toughness? Check. Experience is what is desired, but if you have that combo of defensive focus, toughness, and clutch performance with Gordon, Hinrich, and now Big Ben, not too much to fold under the pressure. Nocioni's a big-game experience player, so's Duhon (college). Luol's a star in the making. Yes. They could end up in the ECF.
There are only a handful of teams that truly have no shot at the le.
The Bulls are nowhere near being on that list.
We rarely agree, but this is one of those times.
Bulls were one win away from being out of the playoffs. Ben is not that good that he can make lottery teams into champions.
They weren't a lottery team by record. They were missing an interior player badly last year, and now they have two bangers. They have Wallace and P.J. Brown now, those are huge additions! Plus they added Adrian Griffin, Tyrus Thomas, and Thabo Sefolosha. Seriously, they are stacked, well coached, and very defenisive minded.
Sefalosha won't do much this season. Brown is solid, but that's it he won't be a threat. Lottery team is too harsh, but the moves the Bulls have made are not so good it will turn them into champs. What you'll see is a Bull team that will do great on defense, but they won't be able to score. It got tough in the playoffs for the Pistons and they had 4 all stars. Ben is good, and so are the Bulls but they are not good enough.
why not? they have a lot of good players.. their bench is deep.... they are better than the pistons when they won the championship in my eyes.... hinrich is a better pg than billups.... deng and gordon are solid.... duhon is solid off the bench... not to mention nocioni and pj brown..... i think they have what it takes to get their and win
You lost me right there. You and Hinrich are the only 2 people on the planet who believe that mess.
