That's where I have faith in the Bulls. While they usually don't have games where they are up by 20, they rarely let teams run over them(unless it's the Rockets). They have the perimeter defenders in Deng,Butler to contain Kobe, and Noah to contain Howard. Just worried about where their offense is going to come from...
Bulls may not have a whole lot of talent with Rose (and others) injured, but they also don't have a lot of stupid, unlike some teams. Funny night tonight-- Everybody doing their best to help the Rockets playoff chances, except for the Rockets themselves. Too many self-inflicted wounds tonight. Even Harden and his 38 points came with 8 TOs. Good thing the team has a home stand now and plenty of rest days for bodies to recover-- no more back-to-back until March 29/30th.

Well the three constants with each team, all are young, and all have inexperienced coaches. It's inevitable that the Lakers will steal and keep a spot with their veteran experience. Portland is right there also. Instead of thinking about seeding, they need start playing like every game is an elimination game.
