The Chicago Bulls have been one of the hottest home teams in the league, and their play of the past two weeks have put them into the NBA playoffs. The will not face the Cavs, that honor goes to 8th seed Detroit. But the Bulls might be matched against the Celtics or the Orlando Magic.
Pick your poison. It's not going to be easy. I have to give the Bulls coaching staff a lot of credit. Del Harris and Bernie Bickerstaff have a lot of input and help out rookie coach Vinny Del Negro. If a team takes on the personality of its coach, one can see that Del Negro is tenacious and a fighter. The Bulls didn't wilt under the pressure of trying to get into playoffs, they seized the moment and made something of it. I think this team will grow during this series. Whoever they meet, The Bulls will see what it takes to become a winner.
I hope Chicago wins a game or two and make a series out of it. Getting swept would not be a good thing. They worked really hard to get here. Now, it is time to learn a few lessons of the game and have some fun.
