I believe this year the Bulls will take there Division in the regular season. They will also end up winning the championship and beating Cleveland for the Eastern Conference. Then in the Championship I think it will be them against Dallas in 7 games with the bulls winning!

I mean like OMG seriously because we just got an aging Big Ben and traded for a few other players were gonna totally takeout the whole division and like win a chmpionship because those aquisitionns made us that good!!! Were also gonna end the season with a 73-9 record and break the record for the best all time because we would totally own that crappy '96 Bulls team because were now like that good!!!!BTW ohiostfbfan I don't see how you have them in the 3rd seed. Your saying they'll get a better record than the Cavs or Pistons but a team in the Atlantic Division will have a better record than them. Doesn't make much sense to me.
I think they will get the #2 seed over Cleveland and Detroit imo, if everyone stays healthy. Now they are going to be a sick defensive team, and a very efficient offensive team too.
It's way too early to make a prediction. First of all, not all the movement has gone down with the rest of the East. The Pistons, for instance, are still going to add a piece or two. Cleveland is talking about moving Larry Hughes. Allen Iverson is still being shopped around. It does matter who the Bulls have to play. Second, the Bulls have some issues of their own to address, specifically with scoring and guard depth off the bench. They are loaded at the forward positions right now. It makes me think another trade is brewing. Let's dig this thread up in September and see what's happened. It's not like there's going to be a lot to do in September but make predictions.

I love the team though...Over the last three years Hinrich's numbers really haven't shown big enough improvement to convince me he's a MVP or an all-star.
Im sorry but dont jump on the bulls too fast. There are still great teams in the league and i wouldnt be surpised if they were a #4 seed in the playoffs this year at all. Sure, they have alot of good players but they dont have that 1 great player that alot of teams need. The pistons had alot of vets and were all good so they got by with having their starting lineup so rounded. The bulls are still too young and i dont think the addition of big ben will do as much as people expect. I say they get at best ECF. In 2 or 3 years if they have the same roster, they win the championship for sure.
^^hes not biased at allIm a bulls fan but dont be stupid. They're not the NBA's best team. I think next year if they land Greg Oden or someone in the top 5 for the draft next year, then they have a shot at the championship. ECF this year at best probably.

I think they could range from 2nd seed to 5th seed. It depends. I like them taking the division actually. They have tons of depth, a good defense, young players, and an efficient offense too. I could see them making the ECF. The East will be a good battle. We'll see what happens...
I think they will be between the 2-4th seed. Probably the 2nd seed in my opinion. Whoever is 3rd should put up a tough fight against them but I see the Bulls in the Conference Finals because they east really doesen't have many good teams to contend with them unless LeBron can get more help. Like Marvin said, they are going to have some trouble on offense and I also think they are not experienced enough to get out of the East. Once their young talent develops they will be a scary team for many years.

I too think the Bulls are a lock for the playoffs, and they should make the Finals. The team they should face there is the Cavs. I say that because the Pistons lost Wallace( :happy0144: ) and the Heat are just too old. Payton and Mourning will likely be gone, and they only have Wade, Haslem, Jones, Walker(old), Posey(streaky), Shaq(old). The Heat are run down, and I don't see it happening again, unless they get all the calls as they did this season.I'm going out on a ledge and putting the Bulls as the 1 seed, and the Cavs as the 2 seed, with the Heat and Pistons filling in 3rd and 4th.
Are you freaking kidding me? Did you honestly just say that you think the Bulls will meet the Cavs in the Finals? First of all, the Heat would probably whoop the Bulls' ass. Dwyane Wade is just too much. He dissects defenses. Second of all, how would the Bulls be able to play the Cavs in the Finals when they are both from the East?!!?
My prediction:The chemistry gets out of hand because Ben Wallace wants to be offensive-minded down low, and starts fights with Luke Schencher on who has better hair. Bulls win less than 30 games, and wont make the playoffs. They've also got no offense, either.
Im thinking the bulls will be a 4 seed behind Miami, Detroit and whoever wins the other division. I just dont think that the Pistons will miss him so much after the lack of effort he showed at the end of the season and durring the playoffs. They still have 3 all stars on their team and 2 all defensive players. Nazr will give up 4 or 5 more ppg than Ben did, but will probably score 3-5 more points than ben did. Add the new depth in the backcourt with Flip Murray and they are still on track to make some serious noise again. Dont get me wrong, Ben is a great addition, but I not making as much out of it as everyone else is.
