<div align="center"></div> Its crazy how we will have a tougher match up if we end up one of the top three seeds, then we would if we ended up seeded fifth. Not considering home court advantage.

It's all relatively weak, and I think, despite the matchup, we'll have a good chance at beating most anyone. The only team that worries me is the Wizards, and that's simply because we have issues beating them a lot of the time (note '05 playoffs). However, as long as we're healthy, I think we can beat anyone. There isn't a team out East that can really rival our depth, which is an advantage for us. Plus, our defense has been great. And we also finally have a go-to scorer in Ben Gordon. So, as long as we're healthy, this might finally be our year to win the Eastern crown (only to likely get beat down by the Suns, Mavs, or Spurs).
damn 4 teams on 27 wins. We should be streaking away if we either - Did not give up big ass leads. Did a better job on the circus trip.
Just for those that don't know, the circus trip is only at the beginning of the year. They call it the "circus trip" because the Barnum & Bailey Circus comes into Chicago and rents out the United Center for a while. Anyway, I find the biggest problem to be inconsistancy from key players, and most notably giving up offensive boards. This is because they never cover the lane around the free throw line and the other team often gets a man in there to take an easy offensive rebound. Happens six or seven times per game and often then not leads to a few points which we could've easily prevented them from having.
Jesus Christ we need to step it up and quick, we are currently 5.5 games out of first place. We have had at least five loses this season in the last 60 seconds, those wins would sure come in handy now.
We can't seem to catch a break we go on a four game win streak, but haven't gained any ground due to the fact Cleveland has won seven in a row and Detroit five.

Yeah, I looked at the same thing and now Cleveland is doing way better, while the Pistons just whooped on the Suns yesterday.
Bulls suffered a bad lose today, while the Cavs continued to be red hot winning a big game against the Utah Jazz. Times really running out on us as far as making a push for home court goes. We always seem to go on runs late in the season. Unfortunately, this year other teams that normally fade, have stepped up.
Only 1 game behind the cavs. with a win tonight we could cut it to 1/2 game. Dont forget people, the team with the best record has home court. So if we play the raps we will have home court even tho they won their division. because our record is better. I think we will catch the cavs befor the season is out. Go Bulls!!!
