Re: 2009-10 Chicago Bulls Thread

Don't forget Boston has nothing to play for now. They are guaranteed the 3rd seed.

That's not true. They can get the 4th seed.

I thought division winners get the first three seeds ... is that no longer the case?

No, not the last few years.

The top three seeds are seeded regardless of division, and if the 3rd-place division winner is worse than one of the wildcards, they're seeded 4th. If the top three teams in the conference were somehow all in one division, I assume that the 4/5 series would be the other two division winners.

No, the division winners are all top 4 seeds, it's just the best second-place team that can move up as high as the 2 seed.

[Derwood]

correct. Division winners all host an opening round playoff series, regardless of record

The Bulls are going down in flames. Awesome.

[rawaction]

Wow! Seriously?

Apparently, it's okay for Courtney Lee to hug Derrick Rose on his way to the basket.

[rawaction]

They have to be doing this on purpose.

You can't beat the Nets, you don't belong in the playoffs. It's that simple. It's the friggin' Nets....

[bcl412]

The Cubs bullpen must be playing for the Bulls.

You can't beat half the teams you play, you don't belong in the playoffs. But such is the Eastern Conference.

[Outshined_One]

This is awesome.

i feel like i'd enjoy sports much more if i didn't actually root for specific teams

2OT with the worst team in the NBA. Cool. This could turn into a real pathetic night for Chicago sports.

the only good chicago sports team is winning and closing in on a 1 seed

THAT would be the only silver lining on the night.

Kind of sucks that the NJ Nets are securely in the #1 spot in the Draft Lottery. Otherwise they'd have a good reason to lose.

[17 Seconds]

well, that's basically the season

 

leave it to the bulls to top the cubs in terms of embarrassing losses tonight.

 

the new jersey nets.

[bcl412]

What's stupid is if they beat Toronto they can still make the playoffs. The Eastern Conference is stupid.

[RedFlash]

The Bulls blew a 7 point lead in OT to be force to play a 2OT. Now in the second OT the Nets have a 7 point lead, now watch THEM hold onto the lead.

[Andy]

It takes a really special kind of crappy to have your backup center drop 27 and 10 and STILL [expletive] lose to the worst team in the league.

Can VDN be fired immediately following this game?

Say again, Derrick?

 

TWICE to the Nets, Bulls. TWICE. That's incredible.

He should, but he won't.
