This team has a tough time finishing strong, they're inconsistent. I'm at the point where I'm tired of us having to play catch-up in the second half. I've got the same sentiment where we don't have the coaching staff this season. Will we be a .500 team...? Ask me in Spring. What I've seen is our two guarding positions are thin and MCW coming back to play against the Pacers might help. I really wish Hoiberg felt comfortable starting some rookies, at this point I would NOT mind giving Denzel Valentines some starting minutes. When we've got our starters playing stagnant ball, we expect our bench players to come off, but we have Nikolai playing inconsistent ball, Dougie's still riding the pine after showing some flashes of being a gunner for us at the 3, Grant had some moments, and I don't know what it is about Bobby, but I want him in the game for energy. Not to mention Jimmy's averaging over 30+ minutes a game, and I know he wants to be out there and ball, but he's disappearing in the fourth. This game against the Spurs from what little I watched, D-Wade's the one trying to light a fire in the games. We are not in the right mindset to make a playoff run, like at all and it's showing.
EDIT: And to answer your question, it's close...I'd take Team 2, depends if that's the 2014-15 Bulls that made a run to the ECF. :l
