The Bulls. Used to be the Pistons because of the old Bad Boys.

I would love to say the Bulls but they have the best record because they were the hardest working team all season long. Now the playoffs are here and the other teams have stopped slacking off it may be hard for them to win. Really hard to come up with anyone clear this season. Boston has struggled since the Perkins trade. LA and San Antonio are out of form. Orlando really just rides Dwight. Miami has the star power but their lack of depth will hurt as the playoffs go deeper and their stars get exhausted from having to do everything. OKC has everything but experience. Great playoffs!

The Bulls. Used to be the Pistons because of the old Bad Boys.

I would love so, as I used to follow former Bulls since MJ origins, and I will never forget that basketball.

Bulls are tough, but they lack experience, and in playoffs that is expensive. Eastern champions will be out of Bulls, Boston (too experts to be easily forgot) or Miami, hated but the big-three (I don't love them, but it will be tough to defeat them).

In Western conference, Oklahoma is doing great things, Lakers will reach at least finals (because of Phil Jackson and a great team), Memphis is a good team with depth chart but you need superstars to win, while OKC is impressive.

My bet is Bulls-Boston-Miami at 33% on one side, while on the other I would say Lakers 65% and OKC 35%.

I followed college basketball more in MJ days and only watched NBA playoffs. Those were some great Chicago teams. This year's team is well balanced and Rose is truly exceptional. Boozer is also a beast, if used right and Noah has such enthusiasm. I think Miami's weakness will be exposed as they get deeper. Boston will be hurt without a good center.

My hope is that New Orleans beats LA. A great player like Chris Paul can take over in a single series even if not over the entire postseason. The Spurs seem to be injured out of the playoffs and who knows what's wrong with the Mavs.

You so remember MJ with NC jersey! I do... (I think we are not 18ers...).

Chicago is a well organized team, with a superb defense where Noah can do his best. Miami can be hit, and hope so. I don't see Boston as a winner, but always better to avoid them (Boston-Miami is a good fight...to Chicago).

If Paul could defeat LA, that would be a great thing to Bulls.

Even before! Larry and Magic in their last college game.

Ok I am impressed that is even before my time. But I do remember the Bulls fighting against the Pistons and losing year after year.

I had played basketball all through my school days but this was before ESPN and cable in general. So my first exposure to American basketball was when I went to college. MJ started his college career just after I started graduate school.
