should the bulls be considered favorites in the east?

[chicagocubsfan]

Really? Bulls are only good in regular seasons, they suck in the playoffs, and I doubt Rose will ever comeback the player he is. Can't even win 2 playoff games against the Heat with a healthy Rose, and now be favorites with an unhealthy Rose and a bench that sucks???

So making it to the eastern conference finals is considered "sucking" in the playoffs?

The knicks have been playing through injuries for the most part, they are playing without one of the best perimeter defenders in the game, stat has been out and is trying to find his way back into rhythm, and there were games they have played without melo, and i would still say considering all of that they still have the secound best record in the east. Just cause they beat the knicks 3 times now doesn't mean if the playoffs were to start the bulls would win in a series if both teams were completely healthy. If u watched last year, shumpert did a great job on rose when guarding him

That iso game gets exposed in the playoffs... Ask the Heat from two years ago. In the playoffs, double teams won't come if there is no offensive game plan to challenge the defense. It becomes a matter of just letting Melo and J.R. score but containing the rest, but I'm including J.R. just to be nice, he doesn't really demand a double team. Your team is great but until there is some beautiful ball movement, they won't go anywhere... Obviously I can only judge based on the games the Bulls played them but that is what I saw.

How many playoff games has your team won the last decade? What's your excuse going to be this year?

Miami should/will be the favorites every year until James, Wade, or Bosh leaves the HEAT.

Weve seen the Bulls do this before in the regular season, they always put up a good record when Rose is out. But are they going to beat the Heat in a 7 game series in the playoffs when Lebron and co step it up? Honestly i cant see it happening, not even if Rose comes back full strength. The Heat are a playoff team, the Bulls are a regular season team.

Yes. The Bulls's cuisine reigns supreme in the regular season.
