To be honest, it's nobody's decision. The schedule will play out as it will play out and we will win some and lose some. Where we end in the standings, is what seed we get. The end.

Chicago, even without Rose, could easily dispatch us this year, if only for two things: defense and rebounding.  While our offense is better than their's, their defense is far better than ours.

Scroll down to Miscellaneous Team Stats, and click DRtg.  We've been a couple of decimal points better than the Bulls defensively so far this season.

And that's including our slumps before AB plus the transition stage.
