ECFs is a real possibility. Outside shot at the Finals if they are matched up with the Nets.

The Bucks are a matchup nightmare for Chicago because of their size. If they don't get cute, and pound the paint and force feed Giannis in the post, the Bulls' biggest weakness would be exposed.

Chicago matches up better with BK than they do against Milwaukee or even Philly IMO. Embiid has historically crushed the Bulls.

And yes, DeRozan's playoff shortcomings are well documented, but he never went into the post season with a capable scorer on the level of Zach Lavine.

This Bulls team is deep as fukk, Vuc as the 3rd option is superior to most teams in the NBA. Then if yal have been paying attention, Coby White is settling in with this roster and is looking like another guy teams will have to game plan for. The Bulls will be able to sustain their pace and scoring if DeRozan's off. My bigger concern in the playoffs is whether or not DeMar will still be getting to the FT line with the consistency he has been showing now. Even with the rule changes, he's still found a way to get to the line. In the playoffs we'll have to see if they call the game differently with him.

I don't think the Bucs are THAT good. I'd be more worried about Nets/Heat at full strength if I were the Bulls. Too many versatile players that can hang with the Bulls lack of bench.

No team sustains there offense if theyre No 1 guy is off...Only chance Bulls have at ECF is Demar and Lavine playing like stars against Bucks/Heat in the 2nd round...Vuc and Coby White wont sway anything,if they dont play great...

Bucks might be our nightmare as long as we on the other side of the bracket we can get to ECF

Nets nets nets. :russell::russell:They don’t have a single rotation quality player that’s worth shyt outside Mills and Irving/Harden are unreliable/injury prone. Bucks are the only team that are matchup nightmares for the bulls
why do yal act like kd, harden, and kyrie arent a threat to score every single time down the court despite however good your defense is????
the nets with 1 legged harden and just kd was 1 inch from beating a better variation of this same bucks team last year.
yal worrying about the others...the others dont matter when you have 3 all nba performers 2 of which were mvps lmao
on top of that the nets actually are #7 in defensive rating so it aint like they are pushovers on that end either.

heat are a mucky team but i dont think they're better or more talented. thats a 7 game series in my opinion. they MIGHT have a coaching advantage i guess but thats it really.
