    Are these guys on a tear or WHAT?

    Their last 5 games, all on the road:

    @ Phoenix W 115-104
    @ Houston W 104-97
    @ San Antonio W 98-93
    @ Oklahoma City W 96-86
    @ New Orleans W 108-106

    Not impressed? How about this: This is the first time in NBA history ANYONE has won 5 straight on the road against opponents with winning records.

    Still, I get the feeling it's just a hot streak and I can't see them finishing any higher than 6th or 7th in the East.

    Seriously, it's hard to go unnoticed. They have a very nice blend of skill and athleticism that equals DEADLY when harnessed.

    Only other comment I can add is that it probably doesn't bode well for teams exploring trade options with Chicago (like us), especially if they keep this hot streak up through the deadline.

    damn, didn't know that they are the first team to win 5 in a row on the road against winning teams. maybe rose did deserve that all-star nomination despite not playing that well earlier this year.

    That's a pretty harsh schedule. And I thought that circus trip was the most daunting of their games.

    I'm far more depressed that they beat us on our home court than I am impressed with their streak.

    The point is that they're beating EVERYBODY on their home court -- look at that list of teams. What felt like a careless home loss was simply a matter of catching a team at the worst possible time.

    They are the most inconsistent unpredictable team.

    They beat this sick ass teams away from home.. then they go ahead and lose to clippers and 76ers at the united center...


    also dont forget they gave up a 35 point lead to lose the game earlier in the season.

    Are the "baby bulls" finally realizing the potential placed upon them three years ago? Stay tuned....

    ... and then they go lose to the Clippers in Chicago, and the Sixers in Philly.

    Oops.

    Freakin goodness sakes, thhis team is giving me migraines! I got a huge bet on their season wins under (41.5) and was sitting pretty a few weeks ago. I thought the road trip would destroy them (and supposedly end Del Negro's time there) but they went crazy and killed it. It's not going to be an easy ride here on out. Suck on Bulls, suck on!

    Well, respectfully I still don't wish to use your point as an excuse for us /respect session for them. They're playing great on the road. Great. Good for them. We still could have beat them; and had we not been as careless that night, impressive little streaks like theirs die.

    I'm just not going to pause and admire any other team but mine! ;) The Lakers are pretty good huh? Well, they may have beat us here, but we beat them at Staples. Etc. So nothing's over, between us and anybody.
