Mods, please leave this and the NBA (season) threads open. We're going to have 2 threads, so the playoff topics can be seperated from the "off-season" topics (for teams like the Celtics 
)
Like badboy said, we'll lock this one up a week or so after the playoffs...

I have to say, I was surprised by their play. One thing going for them is their opponents tend to under-rate them.

Still feel like the Bulls will get eliminated. They need 1 more player on their team like a center or better power forward than Chandler and they will get far in the playoffs. Just need to keep Deng, Hinrich, and Gordon together.

Instead of making 2 sanctioned threads, why not just make a sports section and throw all the sports threads in there and call it a day. I can care less about Clips/Griz.

I wouldn't count the Bulls out. Shaq's health is always a concern and if either Shaq or Wade gets injured, they aren't a playoff caliber team.
I'd like to see an article say the same thing, when it's not written in a chicago publication.

Oh snap. Bulls fans!?!?!? Haven't seen you guys in a while. I guess after a hot streak at the end got them back here. 
I remember last year when all I heard was about Ben Gordon's jock strap and underwears.
