Are they the best team in the NBA? I know their record says they are but beyond the record is there any other team as talented from top to bottom? They have bench players that would start on a lot of teams.

Yes, they are the best team in the NBA.










Now if that doesn't set them on a 7 game losing streak I don't know what will.

I will be on their bandwagon as soon as the Bulls are eliminated from the playoffs. I love the way they play. I believe they have the 3rd or 4th best coach in basketball.

If Wade breaks down like I expect it may not even take 7 games.

They're still 6th in the conference, and will get it together with a December schedule that is looking pretty favorable right now. They'll be fine.

They'll be fine for what exactly? An early playoff exit?

Most likely.

First round exit is different than declaring them dead right now. I'm still going to root for my team. I had the same feelings last year, and still enjoyed the Bulls playoff run. I'm going to try and treat this year the same way.

With that being said, I'm with Nas, Pacers are my team when da boo get knocked out.

I know you are probably joking but it will be almost impossible for this Bulls team to miss the playoffs. Even if Noah and Deng each miss 40+ games. Check out the Eastern Conference. The current #3 seed is .500, and 5 of the 8 current playoff teams are under .500. It's possible the East has the 2 best teams and then the West has the next 10 best teams.

what would be the disadvantage of disregarding conferences when seeding playoff teams? and then reseeding each round ? just 16 best teams period
still have an advantage for division winners but why wouldn't you as a league want the best teams in the playoffs ? so as it stands its pretty likely a team in the East will make it with a record far below .500 and a team (or more) from the West will miss with a +.500 records, that's just dumb

I don't like the idea of reseeding after every round, but I agree that the 16 best teams should be in the playoffs. It's going to be an interesting year. My only hope is that we have a playoff team that didn't win 30 games.

You would have to change the schedules and that may be a problem.
