Only nine more games, and the schedule is very cream puffy. We have: Home - Indiana Road - Toronto Road - Indiana Home - New Jersey Home - New York Home - Philadelphia Home - Charlotte Road - Detroit Home - Toronto There's just not a lot of quality out there. Philly is the only team with a better record than us, and with this schedule, we very well could have a better record than them The Philly - Charlotte - Detroit stretch is hardest, because Philly/Charlotte will both be in the playoff race still at that point, and Detroit is a road game, but they might have everything still shutdown for the season if they're already eliminated from the playoffs at that point. They could still be competing though, and it's a road game. But definitely a schedule, with a lot of teams that are going to be tanking, and simpl aren't good anyhow, that the Bulls could pull something like that off. We would enter the playoffs with a 12 game win streak if we pulled this off. I don't think we will pull this off, but there is no reason we shouldn't win all of these games.
Bulls are 6-4 in their last 10 but 4-1 their last 5. They seem to have gotten their act together at the right time. Winning out would be a great momentum thing going into the playoffs. They'll surely lose at least one.
As long as they play well and make the playoffs, the record really doesn't matter, does it? I don't see any of the matchups being any more or less favorable unless somebody gets hurt. Now if they could have a winning record at the end of their first round playoff series, that would be something....
No way they win out. At least one night the other team is going to play defense. And at least one night the jumpers are not going to fall.
131-127 loss to Toronto. I guess Toronto played defense? The Rose to Tyrus play with the game on the line killed us. Three times Rose drove deep near the basket, then passed to Thomas. Result? Clank x2, bad pass x 1.
