Well considering no team has been able to beat a banged up Heat team the last two years, I don't really think it's that bold at all.
Long season. There are four teams in the East that are just a little injury luck away from making it to the finals.
I think the Bulls finish 4th behind Heat, Pacers, and Nets. Never know what kind of team the Bulls will have by April.
Just to get it out of the way early, what's the story this year CyJack? Are you just a Heat fan now, or one of the many Heat fans embarrassed to admit it for whatever reason? Last time I'll ever bring it up if I get a straight answer.
For the marquee game tonight, Bulls played pretty lousy tonight with Butler and Boozer having the only solid games, Noah clearly had some rust. If they're healthy history says they win 58-63 games and are a virtual lock for top 3 in the East, the real question is the playoffs and staying healthy. The Heat will probably be the toughest they've ever been come playoffs regardless of where they finish in the East because people all seem to know their role now, next year is the question for them.

Bulls need to gel. Rose looked rusty. Hinrich and Noah are still getting healthy. Butler and Deng were out most of the first half with foul trouble and were never really able to get into the flow of the game. Think we'll be alright.
Lakers second unit played the enitre 4th q. Good experience and a good win to start the year. Lots of playing time for Wesley Johnson and Xavier Henry
Im a lakers fan and had a hard time following who was even on the team last night. Gasol didnt look so great.
Same as it's been the last few years, I've rooted for the Heat since LeBron went there.
Thing that concerns me is that bulls bench from an offensive production stand point is a severely lacking.
