The Rest of the Eastern Conference Season Seeds 5-9

The Rest of the Eastern Conference Season Seeds 5-9

Using the most pessimistic approach as a Bulls fan and the most optimistic approach as a fan of any of the other teams. PROBABLY not realistic (Not factoring in back to backs, injuries, road/home games) but this is the best (I think) any of the remaining teams can do.

Miami: Current record 34-32 (After hosting the Bulls on 3/12/10)

12 Wins over the rest of the regular season over: Philly, New York, Philly, New Jersey, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Indiana, Minnesota, Philly, Detroit

4 Losses to: Orlando, San Antonio, Charlotte, Toronto

Overall Miami record after the season’s last game: 46-36

 

Charlotte: Current record 33-31

14 wins over: LA Clippers, Indiana, Miami, Minnesota, Washington, Philly, Milwaukee, Chicago, New Orleans, Houston, Detroit, New Jersey, Chicago, Miami

4 losses to: Orlando, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Toronto

Overall Charlotte record: 47-35

 

Toronto: Current Record 32-31

11 wins over: Golden State, New Jersey, Minnesota, Miami, Charlotte, LA Clippers, Philly, Golden State, Chicago, New York, Detroit

8 losses to: Portland, Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Utah, Denver, Cleveland, Atlanta, Boston

Overall Toronto record: 43-39

 

Milwaukee: Current Record: 35-29 after win over Utah (3/12/10’s game),

8 Wins over: Indiana, LA Clippers, Sacramento, Philly, LA Clippers, Chicago, New Jersey, Philly

10 losses to: Denver, Atlanta, Miami, Memphis, Cleveland, Charlotte, Phoenix, Atlanta, Boston, Boston

Overall Milwaukee: 43-39

 

Finally,

Chicago: Current Record (After 3/12/10 loss in Miami) 31-34

6 Wins over: Philly, Houston, New Jersey, Detroit, Washington, New Jersey,

11 losses to: Memphis, Dallas, Cleveland, Miami, Phoenix, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Boston, Cleveland, Toronto, Charlotte

Overall Chicago: 37-45

Standings will be:

5. Overall Charlotte record: 47-35

6. Overall Miami record: 46-36

7/8. Overall Toronto record: 43-39-Overall Milwaukee: 43-39

9. Overall Chicago: 37-45

 

Again, this is being as pessimistic as possible as a Chicago fan. Do I hope we make the playoffs? Yes, I do. This was created so that hopes wouldn’t be crushed. It’s always better to prepare for the worst, yes? So tell me if you think this is plausible or not.

 

*disclaimer: I didn't use any stats in the creation of this, just went through the schedule.

 

EDIT: Hollinger power rankings say that Chicago has a 37.8% of making the playoffs & 0.5% of Lottery.

No I still think they make it

and Toronto drops out but they need to get healthy fast.

Joakim on whether he ever tried tennis: "I played a little bit. If anybody on the Bulls wanted to play me, I would kick their ass."

Yesterday will have an impact

Expect the bulls to come out with alot of push(not Joking). If rose and deng can get back i think the bulls can win as described below. These teams are average teams which can be beat if the bulls can somehow match intensity and stay focused.
Event the cleveland game is winnable, if the bulls dont get all psyched out of the game befoe it starts
The funny thing is that all the teams know that if you bully the bulls, they back down well lets hope with yesterdays outbreak against miami the bulls come out with another look and some pride(God i miss Oakley)

Wins
Philly, Houston, New Jersey, Detroit, Washington, New Jersey,Memphis, Miami,Toronto, Charlotte,Phoenix, Charlotte, Milwaukee,Boston

Loss
Dallas,Cleveland, Cleveland

And yes the bulls can make the playoffs if not for anything else, just to not have to give a high first round pick to the bucks

that is wayyy to optomistic.

No Noah, No Deng, No Rose, 50% Gibson, 50% Hinrich, and Pargo starting

Why aren't they selling Rose's all star jersey?

this is what I'm hoping for. But not (in my opinion) realistic.
