This is OP's way of trying to say we'd still be in the playoffs if we were in the East? Or that we'd do better than Chicago is doing against the Heat? Jesus Christ how insecure can you get??? Just enjoy the damn playoffs.
I think the Rockets would win that series; close and hard fought, but we win it. The difference is team speed. Boozer "used" to be very good. He looks old and slow to me now. Robinson is a pest, but not that great of passer or playmaker. Noah is a lot quicker than Asik, but not as big. I think we have the better bench. Yes, they may have the superior coach, but he is not playing. I like our chances.
One could say that in the second half of this season Nate has been playing point guard better than Lin has played in the playoffs. But looking at the latter half of Nate career so far and the beginning several years (including the next 2?), one must say Lin is the better point guard.
Nate's an undersized sg, wade isn't healthy and the only 15 minutes of basketball the Heat have played in that series led to a 40 point lead, then take into account that Noah is pretty much worthless against Asik. The Bulls would be lucky to win more than 1 game against us, you people greatly underestimate how bad the east is.
Wouldn't the Pacers be a better team to compare the Rockets against? They have a fairly young core of players and have put together some great performances. But they are not quite an elite team yet.
Stop it, please?.. There's a difference between the injured Bulls and the Rockets. And that is Tom Thibodeau. He is the reason why the Bulls are good and won the first game against the Heat. Of course injuries ruined those guys, but Tom did a great job on that team.
Yes and no. In a playoff series it's hard to say but I have this feeling Bulls come out on top but I am not sure. Bulls have size which we do not and also there physical play is prolly the toughest in the league they really take pride in the Bulls reputation and even though on paper they look like pushovers against Miami the first two games they really out hussled and out played Miami but then again were talking about Bosh, Wade, Allen, Lebron and a swell of decent old role players it's not easy even when your physically out muscling them.
The Bucks made the playoffs, I'd say most of the 22 other teams are better than them. There is a reason why Nate is in his 4th team in 4 years. It will probaly his 5th next year when DRose comes back. Most of the West teams can beat the black and blue Bulls. Don't tell me we can't beat Nate, Belinelli and Butler.
East is a lot easier than the West, if we were in the Eastern conference, we'd probably be in the 2nd round too.
In the playoffs no, they have a much better coach and the team has the Rockets' Kryptonite... a commitment to hard defense. If they weren't so banged up all over the place, the Bulls probably would be even or a head of the Heat.
The bulls squeaked by New Jersey. I say we would have beat them in 6, the Bulls are getting crushed by Miami and stole one game, I think Houston could steal one from Miami in a 7 game series. The difference between the two teams is we have superstar and a good offense. Our lack of D wouldn't hurt us so much because the Bulls have 0 offense unless Nate Robinson is playing over his head. We at least have a mediocre defense as long as Asik is in the game. I do not think Chicago could match baskets with us. People on here are overrating this Chicago team because they stole a game and are getting "physical" with Miami. Miami is sleep walking right now and cruising past Chicago.
