    Now that novembers over we're playing alot better. i think we are definately on the rise and will soon be .500 by the end of the month and we can work from there on getting a good seed. im just glad november is over. we are the worst november team ive ever seen.</p>

    They are playing a lot better as of late, especially Hinrich. He found his shot finally. The rest of the month should be mixed for the Bulls, but they can make a push in January. Here's how they open up for 2008:</p>

    @CHA
    POR
    SAC
    NYK
    @PHI
    @ATL</p>

    Those are all games they should win and putting together a 6 game win streak to start the new year would put them right back in the playoff picture.</p>

    I doubt we lose to Atlanta. We haven't lost to them in a long time. Portland/Sacramento are the only games I could see us losing, but we're at home, so we should win both.</p>

    If we can get back to .500 by the end of this month we can make a push for a high seed in january and hopefully maintain it the rest of the season and finish between 6 and 3 seed hopefully.</p>

    Yeah, if we're 14-15 going into January, we can string off a 6 game win streak and be 20-15 (we were that at one point last season). That team was 32-27 at one point. So out of that I think we can go 15-9 ish, and end up 35-24 and be on pace for a good 50 win season. We just need to keep playing like we are, and get Gordon more intergrated.</p>

    You guys aren't factoring in the rest of December, and it's 5 really tough games. Bull could lose them all.</p>

    12/18 Lakers
    12/19 AT Wizards
    12/21 AT Celtics
    12/22 Rockets
    12/26 AT Spurs</p>

    I see 1-4 at best.</p>

    Lakers could potentially be without Kobe (injured his quad last night) and the Wizard just lost Antonio Daniels for 2 to 4 weeks. No easy victory, but it tips the odds in Chicago's favor if they can keep up this level of play.</p>

    Celtics and Spurs should be losses and the Rockets are coin flip because you never know which team will show up for them. Going 3-2 or 2-3 should be a goal they can reach.</p>

    However, like you mentioned goind 1-4 isn't out of the question either.</p>

    I know but they've shown that they can beat teams so if they're feeling good that night, it could be a L.</p>

    Other than that you're right Sactown will be tough. (another team that has beat spurs, jazz, rockets)</p>

    For what its worth, they're still playing like garbage. Winning more games, but playing like garbage. I'm not a believer that this team is playing above 500 ball just yet.</p>

    We match up very good against all those teams except the Rockets.</p>

    I expect Lakers and Wizards to be easy wins.</p>

    Celtics, if Skiles keeps Gordon at point guard (Bulls were winning at that point until he switched Hinrich back to point), and Ben Wallace doesn't act like he doesn't know what help defense is, we could win that one.</p>

    Rockets are horrible, and Spurs are good, but we've shown we can beat them in the past (as long as Tyrus is active).</p>

    I expect 3-2 or 4-1, definitely not 1-4.</p>

    Lakers are 13-9, just ended a 4 game winning streak (where they beat the Spurs among others).
    Wizards are 13-10 and have won 4 straight. They're playing better without Arenas than anyone should rightly expect.
    Celtics are destroying everyone, basically. Especially teams like the Bulls (we've already lost to them) who are under .500
    Rockets are 3-3 in their last 6 games, but sucking especially lately. If we're 0-3 going into this game, they may catch us with our heads down.
    Spurs are 18-5, and that's without Duncan for several of the past few games. They've won 6 of their last 8.</p>

    Wizards lost Antonio Daniels, so they should start doing a whole lotta sucking soon.</p>

    So your team is going 6-0? I'll hold you to that.</p>
