Bulls-Pistons tonight on NBATV.  We probably play the winner in the 1st rd.  A pretty good game so far, too.  Anybody else watching?

Yeah, Philly's in the mix, I hope we get em but right now they have the tiebreak over Chicago (playing us and Cleveland will help this though).  Another reason to root for the Bulls - I'm not worried about the Pistons, but a loss here pretty much locks em into 8th, and I'd much rather get Chicago or Philly.

I agree Bass.  For better or worse, I want to see what KG is going to be capable of contributing (or what we're looking at if he can't go)
Yup

I prefer Philly, Detroit, Chicago by this order. I think we can't beat any of these teams without hustling and showing up at our best, so I'd rather face the one with the smallest chance of causing an upset.

Yeah looks like it might come down to the wire. Bulls are playing really well now especially at home so I could see them getting the 6th seed if Philly doesn't stop their freefall. I'd prefer the Pistons because well I love Tayshaun Prince and its all about me ;D

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Wow, Gordon gets Varejao'd while hitting the go-ahead layup.  Looks pretty good for the Bulls.

Edit: Bulls win, and they leapfrog the Sixers too it looks like.  Detroit is nearly locked into 8th - good, they could give the Cavs a bit of trouble in the 1st.

Why do people think that Detroit will give anyone trouble? B/c of their "experience"?

They are garbage, their most important piece is playing in Denver and they now have average shooters with no inside game & a D that is very very average. Their experience hasnt stopped them from playing horribly for the last 4 months.

I would prefer we play detroit then philly (athletism and willingness to run gives us trouble) or Chicago (way more depth with better more varied scorers then Det and better athletes)

The Cavs will sweep them, either Philly or Chicago would give Cleveland a better workout
