about to fall under .500 and out of the 8th playoff spot. this stretch is brutal and far from over

Next stretch of games is brutual.

Vs Utah
@ Orlando
@ Miami
@ Memphis
@ Dallas
Vs Cleveland

I don't think they will in Orlando or Dallas, they will probably lose to Cleveland and Utah (although I think they can compete with Utah at home). Miami and Memphis are winnable games, but they are still road games.

This could be an 0-6 stretch, my guess is that they find 2 wins in here.

Even if the Bulls were not missing Noah, this would be an incredibly rough stretch. I still think they are going to sneak into the playoffs again, but without Noah it is going to be tough.

Yeah it's brutal, but hopefully Noah will be back for the stretch run. Philly, Houston, Miami, New Jersey, Detroit follow the rough stretch. Should get some back there. The last game of the season against Charlotte could effectively be a play-in game.

It's a 4 team race (Chicago, Miami, Milwaukee, and Charlotte being the 9th team) for the last spot. They can get destroyed in this stretch, and only lose a game or two on the last spot. The schedule gets much easier after this stretch so making the playoffs is still within reach even with probable losses upcoming. It's interesting that they do play the Bobcats twice in the last 7 game or so, including the last game.

i fully expect tyrus thomas to be a deciding factor in the bulls losing those games and ultimately being out of the playoffs

Looking at those next 6 games, Comcast SportsNet's Mark Schanowski said on "SportsNite" Sunday that the Bulls could be staring at a possible 10-game losing streak, even though the Heat & Grizzlies are on that playoff border just like the Bulls. While the Heat start the night 1/2 game ahead of our Bulls for the 7th seed in the pisspoor Eastern Conference, the Grizzlies are out of the money in the top heavy West even with a 33-31 record. Needless to say, Memphis would be a playoff team if they were in the East...

BBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO go suck on tomatoes with danny b. fukker!

the bulls will not make the playoffs

I think they make it.

It's 5 teams fighting over 4 spots. Do you really think Miami, Toronto, Milwaukee, and Charlotte are all going to finish above the Bulls? One of them is going to fade, and my money is on Charlotte.

Maybe, maybe not.

At 31-32, they are currently 6 teams worse in the East (and that's not likely to change even if the team continue to lose), and in the West, 4 teams are worse (again, not likely to overcome the Bulls) with 3 others (Memphis, Houston and New Orleans) just slightly better than the Bulls.

i dont think any of them still have to play orlando, dallas, cleveland twice, memphis, phoenix, houston, boston, toronto in the last month of the season. in fact miami plays shitty teams almost exclusively the rest of the way. the only one that plays a tough schedule like the bulls is milwaukee so it will be down to the two of them i think. and without noah or any inside presence the bulls are sunk. atleast the bucks have bogut down low

plus the games against miami, charlotte, milwaukee, washington can easily be lost. the bulls are no lock to beat them
