NBA Power Rankings: Is it time to start talking about San Antonio Spurs?

14-13. . Chicago Bulls. 12. team. 24. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE CHICAGO BULLS AND NEW YORK KNICKS COULD MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR???????? Well, yes. It always has been. But during the offseason the fans and media alike have been playing this or that with the two franchises’ postseason hopes. However, both teams share the same record at this point. The Bulls, as expected, have cooled off from behind-the-arc, but they are still giving opposing teams fits. Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade both look to get the ball down the court as quick as possible and with Jimmy Butler usually the recipient of these outlets, Chicago has found easy ways to score in transition. With a point guard like Rondo, the Bulls should continue to try and push the pace whenever they can. Rondo’s court vision and ability to finish at the rim work best in the open court. Wade’s transition from superstar to mentor rivals that of a legend like Obi Wan Kenobi. As long as Butler keeps playing at an All-Star level the Bulls will be a tough out every night.
