Despite a loss to the lowly Indiana Pacers this weekend, they have been having a hell of a stretch the past few weeks.
The Bulls are playing better than any contenders in the Eastern Conference.
That they are looking much better than Miami and Orlando is no surprise to me.
But that the Bulls are looking so much better than the Boston Celtics?
Now that is VERY surprising.
Here's why I pick the Bulls to win the East:
 |
| The BC Godfather in his D-Rose hoodie |
He should be MVP by a mile.
Who can guard him in a 7-game series? No one.
Teams will be forced to double team D-rose.
It's up to the his supporting cast to make or break the season for the Bulls.
Should the Bulls find themselves out of the play-offs, it will not be Rose's fault - I assure you.
2. Boozer is a solid big man.
Carlos Boozer can hold his own against any NBA Forward/Center.
Despite the ankle injury right now, he's listed as day-to-day...which means the ankle is not serious.
Boozer will be ready for the play-offs...and well-rested.
Bulls fans can expect nothing short of exceptional play from this guy nearly every night come playoff-time.
3. Loul Deng is averaging nearly 18 points a game this season.
He is an able-bodied forward and pretty darn good from beyond the 3-point line.
His contributions will increase as more teams focus on double teaming D-Rose in a play-off series.
4. And, my favorite Bull after D-Rose, Joakim Noah
Noah is the kind of player we all want on our team.
He provides the team with some toughness and compliments Boozer very well.
Joakim is averaging a double-double for the season and his style of play is well suited to the physical play we will see in the playoffs.
The Chicago Bulls may play in the weakest division in the NBA.
But do not be fooled...They are for real.
The team has the tools and the toughness to earn the Eastern Conference Championship.
Besides, anyone watching Eastern Conference B-Ball right now should have a hard time believing anyone in the East can beat the Bulls 4-out-of-7 games...especially if the Bulls have the home-court advantage.
Respect the Billycock Foo!
