    Could this season's championship Duke team score a victory if they were to face the Bulls?

    no. If they play 20 times, Chicago wins 19 of them.

    I think Duke could win that. Elton Brand is the only player on the bulls better than the best players for duke.

    If Duke had the same refs they did in the Final Four they'd win...

    Duke would win easily. Chicago is not an NBA team.

    I hope you guys that said Duke could win were kidding...the Bulls are an NBA team and have beaten several NBA teams and come closer to beating several more.

    You have to be kidding! As S_F_R said, Elton Brand is the only superior player on the Bulls. Duke would prevail time and time again.

    Whose gonna stop Jason Williams?
    Artest would irk Battier, yeah, but Battier would positively shut down Artest.
    Boozer would handle Miller; Sanders would struggle to hold his own (but wait til next year).
    The Bulls have nobody to keep up with Duhon either.
    I'm not even sure who the Bulls would have to counter Dunleavy.

    Some of you guys are blinded by the NBA. Yeah, the refereeing could make a difference and that's one of the problems with the NBA. Too much is decided by referees, sponsors, and television.

    Aside from Brand, Artest and Fizer, the Bulls are the Quad City Thunder.

    The Devils would have a huge advantage in the backcourt and would take at least 4 out of 10 from the Bulls.

    They could, but they could also beat the lakers or Kings.

    In a seven game series, Chicago wins it 4-2.

    I actually forgot to mention Ron Mercer. He's another solid player for the bulls and if he had been signed to a cheaper deal, he would probably be given the attention his play deserves.

    It's just me, but I don't think this Duke basketball team is the best college team in the last ten years or anything.....

    I agree with you, but that just shows how sad the Bulls really are.They could get beat by a college team, that may be only the third best team for Duke in the last 10 years.

    Sure, it's possible, but if I were a betting man, I would bet the Bulls by 10.

    I'll put it this way, I don't think there is one player on the Bulls who couldn't get a ship at Duke. I don't think EVERY Duke player belongs in the pros. Maybe half the roster...

    Good grief.


    Houston must have the best weed in the country.

    I'm speechless. Mercer, Brand, Fizer, Miller, Artest and Crawford would lose to Bat and Williams?

    Williams is for real---but come on. The Bulls are competative in this league and growing up. Their record this season reflects a lot of injuries on Brand and Mercers part. No way we're stuck back here---especially with the way jamal and Fizer are playing now---if those two stay healthy the whole season.


    You all need to seriously get clued in.

    Well, only about half the Bulls roster belong in the pros. The bulls wouldn't dominate at any position.

    I think the bulls would beat them if they went by NBA rules, but if they used college rules, I could definitely see Duke beating them.

    Hell Do any of you think THIS DUKE TEAM
    could BEAT BRANDON'S DUKE TEAM?

    I think the Bulls would KILL the DUKIES
    HELL THE BULL GOT BRICE DREW!!!


    They have no answer for Brand [who would get those
    nice DUKE CALLs too]
    Mercer would look like McGrady
    even Artest would look better
