Been pounding on the losers lately. After losing in the first round the last two years, now they have the experience to get past the first and probably the second round this year. Not ready to take the East yet though.

They'll have their hands full with the Nets should these two meet in the first round. Bulls lack of big men with any kind of offense gives Jersey a free pass inside. And Kidd, Carter, Jefferson back court is not easy to beat. Bulls have strong interior defense, but who will they guard with Krstic out for the season?
East will be Pistons' unless the refs decide to hand it to Lebron/Wade.

Jefferson is very overrated on the Nets, misses more layups than anyone I have ever seen. I cannot see the nets beating them.

Carter too. That team would win about 20 games a year without Kidd.

I think the Bulls have enough to win the East this year (though I'm taking Detroit). The Bulls have continued to improve three years in a row and Ben Wallace brings the toughness night in and night out. When the Bulls finally get beat, it will be in a game seven of a hard fought series no matter who they play.

I completely agree with this statement. Ben Wallace has been the difference as he is the tough guy in the paint that patrols the lane on both ends of the court. He was a winner in Detroit and has brought a winning attitude to Chicago that should take them to the next level.

Skott Skiles also is the most intense coach in the nba and a great motivator.
