Milwaukee will jump into the top three in the eastern conference. They are young, big, and well coached.

But they still can't shoot that well outside of Middleton

Neither can we and they are younger and can improve. I can see them ending up ahead of the Bulls.

It's like people expect a coherent thought. Blame is on you.

Nah....we are the only team in East with a shot to take the Cavs on toe to toe, matchup for matchup, depth for depth.

We'll see what the attrition lottery brings to both clubs, but I say we can take anybody and this is our year when luck would have us double stacked. Old starters are now our bench. Young bounties of draft picks are here and mature (Mitotic cuz of age and pro experience in europe), McDermott because senior.

Both now seasoned in NBA. We still have both Butler/Rose and imo thats a top 3 back court in the NBA. Miami, Washington, Cleveland, Portland, Milwaukee, Houston, Clippers. There are some other good ones out there, but we have a double all-star back court with a former MVP.

The Bulls have a shot at 70 wins again actually if Gasol continues to play at the level of the last 15 months of his career.

No, they really don't.

good grief...are you serious? ONE TEAM has done that in league history and you think this team, which may not be top 5 in the league right now...can win 70 games? Unbelievable...

I just don't think they're a team that has enough to take the next step. They blew the 3-1 lead last season.. and as a franchise have yet to leave the 2nd round of the playoffs. I think they're stuck there being in the West.

Adding Lance Stephenson, I think they'll just have a headache there. I guess that's up to Lance though.

Josh Smith and Stephenson off the bench will be interesting. NO SPACING WHATSOEVER.
