Bulls’ Final Regular Season Game Tonight

April 18, 2007

The Chicago Bulls play the New Jersey Nets tonight in the final game of their regular season.  This game has many implications for both teams, and will, unlike many of the games around the NBA tonight, be hard-fought by the teams’ starters.
 

The Chicago Bulls risk falling as far as fifth in the Eastern Conference standings if they lose tonight against the Nets- and the Cleveland Cavaliers win versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Currently the Bulls are in second place and could wrap up the No. 2 seed in the playoffs if they and the Bucks can win tonight.
 

The task won’t be easy, though.  At 40-41, the Nets are just one win away from finishing without a losing record.  They also want to keep the Washington Wizards at bay and secure the 6 seed in the playoffs if they can.
 

The Nets have beaten the Bulls two of three times this season. Their last meeting was on April 6th, when the Bulls won at home in a blowout, 105-74.

It’s like Ben Gordon says, “Truthfully, I don’t really care who we play. Once you get into the playoffs, whoever you go up against, you have to be ready. The teams we have a possibility of facing, they’re all tough teams. I am just concerned with the way we play. If we play to our capabilities, we can beat anybody.”
