    I got Chicago the frontrunners to come out the east, Nate or no Nate I think that team is ready, no reason to believe Rose wont be himself, after Chi Town obviously I'll say Miami, Miami is at a stand still right now unless they made some moves I'm unaware of, last year they brought in Ray which turned out to be a critical move, but he's a year older Wade's knees are a year older, just hard to see that team 3peating, and if neither of those teams make it then it will probably a 100% healthy Cleveland

    you serious? without nate their the same team that lost to miami in 2011, like i keep saying when its crunch time bron gonna d up rose and it's a wrap, unless bulls got a second scorer who can negate rose vs bron.

    Their not though, they were inexperienced back then, Thibs was in his first year head coaching, Noah wasn't in his prime, there was no Jimmy Butler there was Keith Bogans, Taj was a rook if I'm not mistaken, and let's not act like making it to the ecf isn't an accomplishment, if they face the heat again there not facing the same Heat from 2011, I think Chicago is better and Miami is worse since 2011

    Any "experience" you claim the bulls to have gained, the Heat gained MORE.

    And the heat have improved just as much if not more than the Bulls since then. Lebron is definitely better now than two years ago.

    There is no logical reasoning to believe the Bulls will beat the Heat based on what happened in the past 2-3 years.

    Bron is, Wade and Bosh aren't, stop it with that ? , Wade was awful in the playoffs, if hes any worse and Bron has to almost carry that team like its the Cleveland days they are done, the east was extremely weak this year, and the Spurs had it and should of closed it out, Bulls get an MVP back, a star was born in Butler, they might even get Nate back, Noah is in the prime of his career and one of the best vocal leaders in the league, there going to be the hardest team to score on, theres plenty of reasoning get off Brons ? for a minute and realize the Heat are not untouchable and need to do some improving like every other team

    But Wade is getting worse. If Deng and Butler can slow Lebron down which we saw Butler do this past postseason the Bulls can pull the upset. This just talk right now so we'll have to wait until May

    Thinking the bulls have the POTENTIAL to upset (which is true),and actually favoring the bulls to win are 2 different things. john B is favoring the bulls, which is idiotic.

    Lol, yet again, there is no reason to favor the Bulls, as if the Bulls are better. D Rose aint gonna make that much of a difference, especially if he comes back JUST AS GOOD as he was 2 years ago. Which is doubtful, he will probably be slightly worse. These bulls have never beat these Heat in the playoffs and there's no reason to believe it will happen this year.

    Nah we suck, that's good though, we want that, we don't want the 8th seed, teams that been building for years want the 8th seed they want to finally accomplish something, a team that just blew it up after being a contender for 6 years we don't want to be fighting for an 8th seed

    I was about to say Axel should do a show like First Take. But if Jalen Rose come on there and drop the video of that Peagle/Axel game, his career will be finished.
