Mine. Just trying to gauge what people think they'll do. I assumed most think they'll make it out of the 1st, and win a few against Detroit.

I don't think most assume they'll make it out of the 1st. I'm surprised you didn't set it at 3.5. That's the over/under for me as far as disappointment goes. I think 6 is the number. 7 won't surprised me. 8 and above would thrill me.

3.5 is way too low. There's no way that only 50% of this board thinks they'll get through the 1st round. If you set it there, the vast majority would take the over. Similarly, if you set it at 9, most everybody would take the under.

Well if youre setting it at 3.5, may as well set it at 4.5, If seomone took the over on 3.5, I highly doubt they think the Bulls are getting swept round 2.

That was my dilemna. I think 5.5 might have been a little closer to reality.

I don't think 3.5 is low at all. Check out the picks on ESPN and tell me how many of their analyists think the Bulls are going to beat the Heat. A number of members here don't see the Bulls advancing either. Do you see them beating the Heat?

Well, then I guess I'll chalk you up for the under. I'd take the under there as well. I couldn't analyze a basketball game to save my life, and I'm just a casual observer, with Chicago biases. I just got the feeling most people here (not ESPN, or national fan bases, just here) thought the Bulls would win the first series and put up a fight in the 2nd. It should probably be an over/under of 5.5 if we wanted to get technical.

 

I thought it would be a good way to start gauging how far people think this team could go.

[1908]

I've got the over if we're getting technical.

[Soul]

They better go over 4, that's all.

On the 6.5 or the 5.5?

The 5.5 but 6.5 wouldn't surprise me. I think they beat the Heat and scare the Pistons.

sadly, should the bulls beat the heat, all the ESPN coverage will swing to the Cavs and the Bulls won't even make the first 3 segments of Sportscenter

Well then why all the complaining about the line? :D

 

Seems like the number was pretty good.

[1908]

Well then why all the complaining about the line? :D

I thought it was the Vegas line at first at that seemed high to me given national opinion. Also wanted my 6 wins opinion to be on the over side.

How are you only picking 6 wins? I thought you had us in the conference finals?

Not without home court in the second round. I think the Bulls could get past the Pistons, but I wouldn't call it likely.

[da bears]

Spurs over Pistons in a boring NBA Finals.

 

this is the worst case scenario. if the bulls dont make it, i want phoenix from the west, and anybody but the pistons or the cavs from the east.

[Brian]

one thing to say -

 

BEAT THE HEAT

 

 

(please)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So Kirk Hinrich and Andres Nocioni are talking trash?

 

"You have to do something before it's a rivalry, it's not a rivarly yet." - Shaq on the Bulls and a Bulls-Heat rivalry.

[Mark_R]

I hope the Bulls come out ready to be physical. This team is older and can't handle the pounding as much. Make them EARN a victory. Its go time.

[Brian]

DENG!

 

Great start by Lu

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Great start. Shaq's getting great position inside though.

 

Deng is looking great.

[Flames24Rulz]

Timeout Heat!!!

 

Best start that we could've hoped for. Our guys look like they're full of energy. Make Shaq run on the break and tire him out. I like it.
