I'll give the Bulls credit

I along with many others underestimated what this team was capable of. I knew their defense would be good but not sure this good.

There is no way I would have believed they finished #1 overall in the East.

Hopefully Magic knock them out in round 2 but regardless I give them credit. They probably have the MVP & COY. Job well done.

I think they are prepared for the Magic..

Magic lives and dies with the 3, and Bulls are #1 D against the 3. They also did not accept offers for Asik, the Turk center. Noah has problems with Howard, but Asik has the strength to play against him. In the past two games, they stopped the 3's and Howard couldn't carry the Magic. In those two games, Magic were 11/44 on 3's and Asik in 31', held Howard to 20 last out

Lakers are the team that concerns me, because of the number of big men they have, but again, Asik could be the answer.

BTW, Thibs shut the Magic down when he was with Boston

Your not alone Dr. Jack, like I've been sayin' all year, this team is vastly underrated and will do some seriuos damage in the playoffs. They have all bought in to Thibodeaus system and are so unselfish on both ends of the court. Would not be surprised if they made or won the Finals.
