The Baby Bulls are far from a good team, but the Eastern Conference talent is so low, minus the Pistons and Heat (without SHaq, they are a disgrace). Although New Jersey may squeak in with an 8th seed, they would be very capable of knocking out the Bulls (not going to happen but it would be possible). Chicago would give trouble to Boston, Washington, Indiana, and Cleveland, and Philly if it were possible. But if they face the healthy Heat or Pistons, most likely sweep.

Sometimes I wonder how they do it as well. They can look so lost on offense a lot. They always play solid defense and are one of the very few NBA teams to give it their all the entire game. They are like a college team in that sense, always diving for balls on the floor, hustling for rebounds, etc. Solid ball movement helps provide open shots on offense. And the hustle and defense overcomes the long scoring droughts. Fun team to watch.
They play well because they don't have any selfish superstars. They are a bunch of kids..that do what their coach says. They have respect for Skiles..and play hard for him. Skiles empahsizes defense. If you aren't playing tuff D...you go to the bench..no questions asked. He has a good group of kids..to mold..and he is doing a great job of earning..and keeping their respect.
