Another impressive home performance. If we can somehow win that road game against Detroit, I don't see why we can't win out and end the season on a nice run.

And not that it particularly matters, if we win out we could get the 6 seed. Philly has Cleveland twice in this last stretch.

Bulls magic number is 1 and can clinch with a Charlotte loss tomorrow

 

I'd rather wait for the clinch, because I want Charlotte in the playoffs. I think it would be a nice story and I hate Detroit so it works out.

There's something really cool about Rose crashing the lane, then whipping a fastball all the way across the court. 6ers never even thought about the ball going that far back out.

 

His court vision is amazing. You can kind of see it watching on TV, but being at floor level and seeing some of those passes he made last night, man he's unreal. A couple of them where he was down near the basket or baseline and just whipped it out to a guy on the wing or top of the key for a 3, I have no idea how he saw the guy. His vision had to have been blocked by a couple guys trying to stop him from getting to the hole but he connected on the pass anyway.

 

That game would have been a blowout if the Bulls could have hit easy 5 footers last night in the first half. They played really well for the last 30 minutes of the game. Now that I've seen them up close, I may be more interested in following them and watching more games on TV when I can. The seats I was in last night were sweet. It was the second row behind the scorer's table. I'd never been that close at any sporting event.

Charlotte lost tonight meaning the Bulls officially clinched a playoff spot! Also Philly and Miami both lost, leaving the Bulls 1 gb Philly for the 6 seed and 2 gb Miami for the 5 seed. Unfortunately Detroit won leaving them tied with the Bulls for the 7/8 seed.

The Bulls will win one playoff game. That's it.

Since Feb 22nd, the day of the Salmons and Miller's first game, the Bulls are +4. Boston and Orlando are both +9 during that span. I don't think we'll win the series, but it's certainly possible the Bulls make it interesting.

If we could somehow play our way into the 5 seed it would be awesome. Bulls/Hawks would be very entertaining IMO.

 

I think the Bulls will win one, perhaps two games off one of the top three teams. Oddly enough, I like our chances better against the LeBrons than Orlando or Boston.

say what you want, but ben gordon can be a pretty electric player. he just needs the right pieces around him.

 

Exactly. I don't know how you could possibly disagree with that.

 

Just a half game out of 6th and 1.5 out of 5th. Wouldn't it be nice if we had those two games back against the Heat that we blew at the buzzer?

Is Salmons the most underrated player in the NBA (I don't know much about the rest of the league. I'm just basing this off of him being good and me not hearing of him until he was a Bull.)

He's kind of a black hole once he gets the ball but he makes up for it by getting to the line and generally being a very efficient shooter.

Good news: The Bulls win, keeping the 5 seed in play.

 

Bad news: Everybody has to be Knicks fans tomorrow to keep the 5 seed in play.

A little late, but congrats to the Bulls and Bulls fans!

 

I don't seem them challenging the big 3 in the east (Cavs,Magic,Celtics) but who knows.

 

I will definitely be jumping on the Bulls bandwagon for the playoffs.

Miami beats the Knicks to clinch the 5 seed.

 

Philly loses by 7 to Toronto to fall to .500, with 2 remaining games against the Celtics and Cavs.

I like our chances for the 6 seed, even if we lose to Detroit tomorrow. Detroit ends @ Miami on Wednesday while we end at home against Toronto. Philadelphia's really struggled to end the season and I don't see how they could possibly beat Boston and Cleveland. After the Magic lost at home to the Knicks on Friday and at New Jersey yesterday without Devin Harris, I'd really like to get a crack at them in the first round.
