Bulls clinched HCA through the ECF. We all know it doesn't matter. So, what are the playoff predictions for this year?

What round are the bulls going out in?

Will Miami sweep to the Finals?

Will the Bulls make it out of the first round?

If you put a gun to my head right now, I say the Bulls will reach the NBA Finals and play either Oklahoma City or the Lakers.

I got them playing the Thunder in the Finals, but the Spurs are looking good.

Thunder will in all likelihood come out of the West.

I'm still not convinced we beat Miami, of course I'd love nothing more than to beat Miami. It will depend on the health of Rose (lets see what he does these next two games, assuming he plays) and then how Miami looks the first two rounds of the playoffs as well as they have basically been on vacation since the All-Star Game.

The Spurs season has been remarkable. Pop should get Coach of the Year by a landslide. What he's been able to do with that roster is fantastic. Their "Big 3" have looked great all season long, even with Ginobili missing extended time. They're second in the NBA in scoring, fourth in assists and also in the top half in rebounding and points allowed. The phrase "Greater than the sum of its parts" definitely applies to San Antonio. There's not a chance in hell I'd want to face them in the post season.

NYK can take them to 7 games if they get and stay hot from 3.

But....they probably won't. I doubt they can stay hot for very long. Can they win a game or two that way? Certainly, but they need a balanced offense if they want to take Miami to 7.

I think New York should play with Melo and Amare on the court at different times for the most part. Allow those two to get theirs.

I agree. That's why it puzzles me when people who think NYK can just easily beat the Bulls. They have a better shot against Miami than Chicago.

Same prediction as I made at the beginning of the season. Bulls-Thunder.
