    How well matched are we? Especially those front courts. Age / Experience / Height / Weight etc.

    This is our hardest series on our way to the Finals. I don't think HCA will play a part in this series. But we need to win Game 1.

    The way the Bulls have been all season against their division rivals I'm going with the home team in this series. They're fast, defensive and unselfish. Hopefully there are no further injuries for either team. Nocioni is already hampered by a lingering injury, which is why we haven't seen any major production from him yet. However, he's considered the toughest player in the league by his teammates and I don't think the injury will prevent him from playing. I'll have a Bulls Playoff Preview update in the Bulls forum for this series as well so keep a look out.

    this series is going to come down to Deng and Prince. Both ouf these guys are unstoppable when they want to be. Look for Deng to continue to shine and I dont thin prince is going to sit around and be out played by Deng. These guys will battle trust me on that. IMO Hinrich Bullips, Gordon and Rip, Brown and Webber cancel eachother out.
    Look fot thomas to get more playing time in this series hes been giving sheed trouble in the reg season. This series should be just as entertaining as the Heat series.

    Pistons fans better hope their team isnt overconfident.

    Let's go boys, I know we struggled against the Bulls but I have a feeling we will take this series.

    Winner of this represents the East IMO (yeah I went out on a limb).

    It's going to be a nervy series.

    This is going to be a tight series. I believe that their will be at least 6 games here.

    Yeah man, I think this is going to be the best series of the 2007 playoffs. I think we'll take it in 7 games, its going to be very tight, we're very well matched. We lost the regular season series 3-1 or somthing like that, but we'll rally, look for Chauncey to have another big series.

    The Mavericks did get shutdown pretty hard, it was pretty ridiculous, but good at the same time.

    Since when are you such a big-time Warriors fan? The Warriors/Mavs series was a great upset, but this is going to likely be the most competitive series throughout the entire Playoffs. One of the best rivalries of all-time is rebuilding.

    This is going to be alot like the heat bulls last year. IMO that is the best series Ive seen from last year till now. these games are going to be 6 point wins at the most for each team.

    Was that a joke? Warriors won in 6 which many felt should of been a sweep. There was a little fire there mostly from Golden States crowd but they were dominating the whole time. This series is going to be a CLOSE one. We are a much bigger rivalry then Warriors/Mavs. They have Ben Wallace who played with us for 5 years, playing against his old team that he won the title with, how possibly can that not be more exciting then your so called series. This series won't have 100+ scoring every night so you might not find it interesting but I find a game in the 70's just as fun to watch. To me this will probably be in the top 3 for most exciting series. Another good one will be if the Suns and Warriors make it to the WCF.

    TOMMOROW AT 7PM PISTONS FANS GET FIRED UP!!

    Ben Wallace isn't the only thing making this series exciting. From Flip's words, "These teams match up like a mirror image. They run the same style of play and are very good on the defensive end. We're just going to have to keep up because our opponents are much faster, but our guys have more experience."

    First of all, I'm just following the Warriors because the Magic are out of the playoffs. I'm really happy for them and I love all underdog stories. Second, how can you not say the Dallas-Golden State series wasn't exciting? It has been called the biggest upset in NBA history yet you'd rank a Bulls-Pistons series over it? I know you guys are biased because you're all Bulls and Pistons fans but what we saw in Golden State is something that is going to be remembered for a long time. Unless something incredible happens in this second round series between Chicago and Detroit, it will just be another series.
