Thats what happens when you dont take care of your hair like he does

Nah IMO I think its genetics I think he "doesn't" take care of his hair because he probably thinks putting all those chemicals and brushing your hair all the time aids in Hair loss I don't know.

nate helped the team about as much as he hurt the team.... he was so hot/cold....plus he gives up to much size on the defensive end. yea he is a lil pesky defender, but entirely to small. Belli is a lost but again butler has stepped up.

they wouldnt have done what they did last year if nate wasnt on the team without drose. No one on the team can make up for his scoring

Done what tho?

Beat the Nets? 

That's not some great accomplishment.

 

[victor page]

The bulls bench got really weak. They lost nate & belli and are relying heavy on Kirk Hinrich health. You dont know what Teague is gonna give you and i think Dunleavy's done

Dunleavy is better than Bellinelli

finished in the top half of the east, pushed the heat in round 2. He significantly helped make the bulls look like a respectable team without one of the top players in the league

Dunleavy is better than Bellinelli

You confident in saying that ?

 

[Bert.]

Bulls number one seed?



Ill take Pacers / Knicks / Heat / Nets before the bulls as a number 1

fixed

 

[LIL PRETTY TONE]

Heat

Knicks

Bulls

Pacers

Nets

Wizards

Cavs

Pistons

Can't wait for the season when knicks to make everyone look stupid

If Bynum & Varejao are hurt the cavs not sniffin the playoffs tho. I think the Bucks or Hawks would lock up a playoff spot if that happened

This.

If the Pacers can somehow get a point guard I wouldn't be surprised if they got the #1 seed.

 

[noblekane]

the fact you dont have Detroit on there is hilarious

i can bet $50 to anyone that Detroit makes the playoffs. easily. Defense a lone will get them there.

yea i think detroit gets in

do not agree that chicago is up there. like dude said they have not improved at all and lost a couple players to free agency.

also rose is coming off a major injury and muscle memory problem.

Defense so damn underrated in the NBA. The Bulls are going to a top 2-3 team in the East. You want to know why? Because usually teams that give a 100% each and every night with good talent will win a large number of games. Bulls are one of the few teams in the league that rely heavily on their defense and play harder than probably any team in the league. Not to mention, they have one of the best coaches in the league, 2 returning all stars and a superstar.

Indina is another team out East that's simply going to win games off giving better effort than the majority of the teams out there. You rarely catch teams like that not giving much effort game in and game out.

 

[mjsaver]

Ive got a hard time seeing the Pacers a top 3 seed, i think they may have overachieved last year and i doubt they sneak up on anybody this year.

Bulls wont be top 3 either with Rose coming back , there has to be an adjustment period there always is. No way he comes back and they dont miss a beat.

Top 3 will be the Heat, Knicks, and Nets in that order imo.

 

[captainjackson]

bulls were the 1st seed in the east two out of the past three seasons, it's not a stretch to see them finishing ahead of the heat if the heat rest lebron/wade/bosh towards the end.

 

[awwsome]

Knicks will not be top 3 in the east

 

[dt43]

The Bulls with Rose have the highest regular season win% in the East, higher than the Heat (going back to 2010).

They have consistent defense and rebounding and generally dominate the regular season, I don't get how people are posting " " at the idea that they will be an elite team.


For dude saying there will be an adjustment period for Rose, it's not like Chicago tanked the past season without him. They won 45 games and made it to the second round, this team should be a lock for 50-60 wins even if Rose takes a while to get back into his groove.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Nets win 70 games, Heat win 75, Knicks win 68.

Dudes just talking just to talk.

Had the best record in the league with Keith Bogans as our starting shooting guard.

...but we not going to be Top 3 in the East next year. LOL.

 

[dt43]

And I think people are underestimating how much of an issue Wade's health is for Miami. His knees are literally shot at this point, I'd be surprised if he plays over 65-70 games again in his career.

The wear and tear of all those games is no joke. I don't see Miami dominating the regular season like they did last year.

Detroit gets in. And if they get a 5th or 6th seed don't be surprised to see them in the 2nd round.

explain why Detroit doesnt get in?

from what i read on RealGM and majority of those dudes know the game better than most of you and ive seen A LOT of people putting Detroit in as 6/7 seed the rest have them as a 8 seed.

Pistons might have spacing issues but they will have awesome defense, If you think Bucks, Celtics, Hawks and Cleveland are better than you are out of your mind

this aint Detroit bias either

like i said, im putting $50 up to two people, Detroit is a lock for the playoffs.
