Bulls are the team to beat

[scaryjerry]

Eh, nah...theyre on a good roll right now, and will be legit contenders in the yearss to come, this year they are overachieving but wont make it out of the east this year

[Celtics4ever]

I like how we match against the Bulls.  They are deep and talented team though.   They are also young and don't have tons of playoff experience.   Their bigs are good but each has a weakness.   Noah is not a good shooter nor is he strong.   Boozer is a good player but a little undersized at 6-9.  We can exploit this as well.  They also don't have a top flight SG and are vulnerable in that aspect as well.

exactly.
Their 3 bigs off the bench are asik, kurt thomas and tyrus thomas,scalabrine.
 This is vs baby, krstic, green, JO, murphy= no contest.

They have no shooting guard and if they think bogans is going to be able to stop ray allen crushing them like he did vs ben gordon they are severly mistaken.

they'll be tough defensively but the C's should be able to exploit their lack of size. Their bench is good but i dont think it will match up to our bench after another months playing together.

In the words of the great Ric Flair, "To be the man, you've got to beat the man!!  wooooo!".

Celtics are the Eastern Conference "man".  Wooooooooo!

Until a team in the east beat the C's in a 7game series in the playoffs they are the team to beat.

Rose is great but they rely on him for everything.  I like the bulls and think THEY are the team to be the eastern power after celtics big 3 are gone.  In a 7 game series we have way to much front court size.  Give the ball to shaq down low and make chicago do something about it.  Our x factor jeff green is big.  Our bench depth is going to make playoffs pretty intersting.  Let rose chase around rondi, delonte and arroyo, we have 18 fouls right there to give him.

Tyrus Thomas is for Charlotte. I think you meant Taj Gibson

The bulls COULD win it all if the celtics remain on crutches. only one team is capable of beating us in a seven game series, and they're out west.

I hope th op knows this kind of trolling is trademarked.

Man, imagine if Ray had jetted for Chicago this past off-season...I think they'd be a lock for the Finals

[jdpapa3]

welcome, bulls fan dewolfe24 to celticsblog...

  The dead giveaway was "KG and Boozer are a draw."

That matchup will be positively KG vs. Jamison all over again if we face them. And that was a one legged KG last year.

We're as good defensively and miles better offensively especially in playoff style basketball. Wait until you see what this team can do in the playoffs before thinking they are anything more than a regular season 58-62 game winner. The Cavs had that title for years and couldnt get by the Celtics.

[Prof. Clutch]

The Celtics are the team to beat, the Bulls are just an obstacle on the path to glory.

I look forward to bumping this thread after the Bulls have been bumped from the playoffs....
