In a year or two, the Bulls will be very competitive. This year, the Pistons would win that series in no more than 6 games. The Bulls biggest thing they have going for them is no one knows anyone on their team. It wont take long for Brown and the Pistons to introduce themselves. They simply don't have the experience or depth to go deep into a series with Detroit.

When Yao and McGrady are both running on all cylinders and the outside shooters are hot, Dallas is toast. They are so strong defensively, that they will be able to shut the Suns down as well. I don't think they can get past SA if Duncan is back to 100% though. Come on Denver, beat up SA a little for me.

I'm shocked that Yao and McGrady have showed up for this series. My predictions for this series relied upon them being no-shows, as they usually are. Dallas is in deep trouble, and the rest of the West should look out also.

McGrady is taking his game to a whole new level, and taking Yao Ming with him. And then Mutumbo comes off the bench and is having a MVP 5th man series. That slam dunk was Jordenesque!

That was awesome, had me and my buddies replaying it for several minutes. I just wish it was on someone other than Shawn Bradley, who has been dunked on like that by every single player in the NBA.

I think the Bulls are so inexperienced that they don't know they're not supposed to win now.
If it means anything, the Bulls beat up on the Pistons during the regular season, big time.
The biggest thing they have going for them is youth and defense.
They have excellent depth. They're bench production is number one in the league.
I don't know if we're talking about the same Bulls team here. Everyones got to know Ben Gordon.
He has to be rookie of the year and possibly sixth man of the year.
Just like I said, most underrated team in the playoffs.
They're going to smoke the Wizards.

Dude, they go 7 deep. 8 if you count Eric Piatkowski (and I certainly don't. He's a friggin' hump). Every team left goes that far down their bench, and some go further. Who comes in after that?? Lawrence Funderburke?

Everyone knows who Ben Gordon is. Nobody is discounting him. But the issue here is, do they have enough to hang with the Miamis and the Detroits in the East over the course of a 7-game series? I don't think so. Hell, Gilbert Arenas had his worst game in over a month and the Bulls still had trouble pulling that one out (they might have won by 9 but it was much closer than that). Their defense didn't look all that great to me during that game. Not as bad as Washington, but by no means did they put the clamps down.
The Bulls had a great season, and it's nice to see them get things turned around over there. I just think it's a bit early to plan the parade downtown... funny to see the first playoff trip in 7 years get everyone back on the bandwagon.
