If we win our last game, we end up with 50 wins and 3rd seed and will face the Bucks in round 1. 50 wins. No Bulls coach since Phil Jackson has won that many games. No Bulls coach other than Thibs, that is.
If we lose and Toronto wins, they get 3rd seed via the tie breaker. If we lose and Toronto loses, we get 3rd seed. I say let's go win #50 and control our own destiny.
No coach since PJax has won 50 but Thibs. Not Floyd. Not Cartwright. Not Skiles. Not Vinnie. It's not likely a successor would.
