InstantClassic Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 I was talking about the trades they made to add 3 key new players... since then they have gone from out of the playoffs... to in the playoffs with wins over the rockets and the magic... The first game with the new players was against the Magic (a win... ) They have beaten Orlando and Houston since getting their new guys... and Deng is currently injured so they are one starter short... The BUlls are a legit playoff team right now and will make some noise... A legit playoff contender at 29-34? Really? They are 8th right now..but that won't last. Since the trades, they are 4-3. WOW. New AND Improved. The only team making noise for that 8th spot will be Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you're comparing us to the Celtics, and you're comparing your team to the Giants. Your team isn't even above .500... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants were always a contender in the NFC that year, because the only team that was great the entire year during the regular season was the Dallas Cowboys, and anything can happen against a division rival. We're not division rivals, you have basically zero chance of beating us in a 7 game series. In fact if you told me if I could choose the opponent for the Magic to face between Atlanta, Miami, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, Charlotte, and all the other sorry excuses of basketball teams, Chicago probably would be my first choice.

If the Bulls win this week and spilt the series 2-2 (with both wins coming after the trades) then I guess I will have more of an argument... until then... we both like our teams too much to budge at all right now...

This coming from an outside fan of these 2 teams (Celtics), I have to say that the Bulls still aren't a big playoff contender. I think that they'll have great chemistry next season if they don't lose anybody, and if Rose keeps developing the way he is. Until then, I see them at a first round exit at best. They have a lot of great players, but they are like the Heat, they just don't have great chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of great players, but they are like the Heat, they just don't have great chemistry. I think they're a little more like the Hawks. The Hawks made a couple moves last season, and it got them the 8th seed in the playoffs, and took the Celtics to 7 games, which is really impressive. I personally don't think the Bulls are as good as the Hawks were last season though. They traded for Bibby, and he made them a little better then a .500 team the rest of the way. Bulls still are a below .500 team, and would get crushed by nearly every team in the playoffs right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantClassic Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Good records dont really mean **** at this point... ask the Pats what a good record got them... Good records don't mean ****? How about home-court advantage? Even more important...and especially in the Bulls case...how about an actual playoff berth? Sorry...basketball and football are way too different to draw comparisons from. You don't have any argument here with a below .500 team so this is done.

ECURB Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The record at this point really does not matter if they make it... it shows nothing about the team... New HC New PG Then a trade adding new pieces that get minutes and have only played 7 games so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I will admit, they are a better team, but they still might not make it to the palyoffs. Even if you guys do make it, you'll probably get the Cavs or Celtics in round 1, and well, you know......

MagicBizkit87 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Damn, I wanted to beat the Bulls, but I didn't want to beat them so badly that Ecurb might be afraid to show his face... lol Even Tony Battie is hitting threes. When that happens that means you know a loss is coming.

Your playoffs will be very short, and very sweet for Cleveland, that is if your team can beat out a team like Charlotte... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
