Thought you guys might find this an interesting read. RealGM has an interesting poll on their Bulls board. http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=1108762

They ask whom the Bulls fans would rather face in the ECF, the Cs or the Heat. While the poll numbers heavily (73% to 27%??) favor the Cs as the most desirable (and therefore most vulnerable) competeition, the comments surprisingly show a lot of respect for us and, not surprisingly, a lot of disdain for the Heat.

Also, many of the reasons for wanting to face us rather than the Heat have to do less with our vulnerability than with real, palpable hatred for the Heat.

Good find there. The Bulls fans have a better understanding of how the game is played than most of the fan bases out there along with the passion too.

Boston vs Chicago would be a heckuva Eastern Final.... At least we know we'll have KG soldiering for us this time.
The beatings will continue until morale improves

I work with a boatload of Bulls fans.

Obviously, there is still a lot of ill will towards the Celtics from '09 but they're awfully respectful of this team and some are even, admittedly, fearful of the possibility of a Celtics-Bulls Eastern Conference Finals. 

For the most part, a very educated fanbase.

+1. Thank you for that morning pick-me-up!

While I dislike the Bulls team, I am liking their fans more and more.  :-*
