good game.
We clinch home court advantage for the first two playoff rounds today.
The first round yes. But Indiana needs to lose 1 game until we have the semi's HCA locked up. Reason being, Indiana has played less games, despite the "magic number" formula pointing out that they have done as you said.
Over the past two seasons Deng has developed into a genuinely clutch player. He basically carried this team in the fourth.
Noah was huge as well down the stretch defensively.
Great win.
Yes you are right. I didn't count the one less game Indiana has played.
We need one or two more W to lock up the semi's HCA.
It's amazing that with a 2-8 record in the last 10 games of a 66 game season the Bulls will have the #2 seed in the East with Rose out for 1/3 of the season.
Our only goals until the end of the regular season is to get the #1 seed and to keep players healthy and fresh for the playoffs. Thibs must give players like Deng,Noah and Boozer some rest in the games against DET,WAS,CHA and CLE.
Our last regular season game is at 26 April and we have a playoff game at 28 April. The team with the more fresh legs will have a huge advantage IMO.
