With only ten days left in the NBA regular season, the Bulls looked poised to lock up home court advantage for the first time since 1996. The Bulls host both Phoenix Tuesday and the Celtics Friday night. They then go on a three game road trip that includes Cleveland, Orlando, and New York before end the season at home vs the New Jersey Nets.
The Bulls should easily beat 4 of these 6 teams. So the 1 seed is all but wrapped up. Its a nice accomplishment, but it just brings more expectations. Before the season started a getting to the Eastern Conference Finals would have been a great year in my mind. But now I expect them to get there, and anything short of the NBA Finals should now be considered a failure.
Rose has the MVP locked up but the biggest key to us advancing is Lt Deng. Luol will be forced to make plays at the end of games, as teams will double Rose. But no reason to believe he can't do it in the playoffs, he has done it for the last 6 months and deserves more credit for this teams turnaround.
