They're only 3.5 games ahead of the Spurs (who also have a better scoring margin). My antecdotal rebuttal:. Warriors beat them by 30 in their only meeting. Crappy Bulls beat the Spurs, got blown out twice against Warriors. Indisputable evidence. In all seriousness its the results but its also just the type of basketball they play when I watch them. It doesn't look like the same sport as what the Bulls play. It means dick but the bulls didn't really get blown out the first game vs the warriors.
