The Cavs/Pistons game of course and they were talking about how the Cavs could dominate the conference for years to come and it was really annoying. Why? Because they didn't even mention the Bulls (if I remember right). They kept on talking about how the Cavs are only going to get better and that they need some more pieces, when they didn't even talk about the Bulls who have the best young talent in the league. I think next year the Bulls will win the ECF, not the Cavs. My point is, next year the Eastern Conference won't be a one team domination. I think the Bulls will be in competition for the 1 seed and ECF.I just thought it was funny how they didn't mention them when talking about the Eastern Conference.
All Steve Kerr was saying was that it look Michael Jordan a while to overcome the doubters and finally make it to the Finals, and after that one year, it all took off and they were there every year. He said "Who knows? Maybe the same thing happens with LeBron, Cleveland isn't a finished product, they still have pieces to add." That's all.
You know. They've just got to hype up everything LBJ does and make it seem like he is dominating everything. The Bulls will own next season. All of the non-biased, non-LBJ bandwaggoners know that.

Um. Yeah. The Bulls have the biggest shot at being a "dynasty" in the East. They are built to do something like that as long as the main young pieces stay in tact. Like I said, once they get an offensive threat in the post, the Bulls will be big-time. There's no denying that.If anything, ANYTHING happens to LeBron, the Cavs are dead and injuries are common in the NBA. The Bulls however can do without one of their youngsters for an extended period, I do believe.

They were saying how Miami is old now and how it would be interesting to see what will happen to Detroit. He was saying how the East will become worst in the years to come and how it would be dominated by the Cavs.
Meant to say East, but Yeah I just thought it would funny how they didn't mention Chicago at all in that discussion.

Even this year we were only one game away from taking claveland's two seed so I have no doubt in my mind(espically if detroit loses parts of its core) that we can compete for the 1 seed and go all the way next season. Lebron's doing something great right now but the cavs will have no answer for the bulls next season if(and we likely will) meet in the playoffs other then Lebron. I'd go as far to say if we dont drop that 20 point lead in game 3, that we beat Detroit and then go on to beat cleveland and end up playing the spurs in the finals this season. With a whole nother year to develop, and finally Tyrus starting over PJ brown we will be a very good team.
The Bulls havent proven anything that. I would've been mad if they included them in that list of teams to dominate the East soon.

They won't dominate until they can get someone who can score in the post. They are a jump shooting team.. Full of guys who can fill it up, but if a couple of them are having an off night, it's over. They'll trade one of Gordon/Deng in the future to help out their front court though.

They do have Michael Sweetney who could develop into a solid player, Tyrus Thomas who I think will turn out to be really good, and the 9th pick in the draft where Yi Jianlian or Joakim Noah are definite possibilities that ill also help their front court.

Sweetney has had plenty of time to develop into a solid player. That's all you hear about him, and his potential has run out I think. The Bulls are a good team, but until they get that post scorer, I'm not sold on them. They had a chance to get Gasol last season, and if they would have gotten him, they would have been set. They'll contend, but saying the Bulls will dominate is a little over the top.
The Bulls have never done anything they weren't expected to do or beat anyone great. Who's to say if all of their players will pan out? I keep hearing about how good Deng is going to be until my ears bleed. He doesn't have his team in the NBA Finals while playing as good as anyone we've ever seen.
The Bulls don't have to be amazing and complete to dominate in the Eastern Conference. The conference is in the dumps right now and they have about 5 solid teams at most.
