Hey, how 'bout those Chicago Bulls? I don't think there is a hotter team not named Cleveland in the NBA. They have won eight of their last ten to lock up at least the 7-seed in the playoffs, and face Toronto tonight at 8. With a win, they could pass Philly for the six seed.
Honestly, I think they would rather face the elderly but still proud Boston Celtics in the first round (preview of that coming if/when it happens) but whether its Boston or Orlando, these Bulls have a fighting chance to advance in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Scoop Jackson has a nice article on pending ROY Derrick Rose over at espnchicago.com. The video, with commentary by David Thorpe, shows some of Rose's sweet moves. Also, who knew that David Thorpe has a little bit of a lisp?
Bulls beat reporter K.C. Johnson at the Tribune writes about the young Bulls getting ready for playoff-style basketball with some intense practices and advice from vets like Brad Miller and Kirk Hinrich.
I'm pretty pumped for Chicago back in the postseason! Anyone remember that first-round sweep of the Heat a few years back? Good times.
