What Team Ought Bulls Fans to Root for in the Playoffs?

April 18, 2008

Now that the season is over for the Bulls, it’s time to sulk and feel bad that you’re not doing research about Chicago’s upcoming matchup in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. But there are some silver lined clouds for Bulls fans. For one, you will not have to look hard for game tickets. For another you will not have to shell out more dough for beer and popcorn. And finally, you will not have to have a heart attack every couple of days when the Bulls are playing in an overtime playoff game.

Now that the Bulls and their fans are mere casual observers, we have to pick sides with the remaining teams. Who should we root for? Here is out list:

1. Cleveland Cavilers (It would be nice to see Big Ben do well)
2. San Antonio Spurs (If the playoffs are boring, we’ll feel less miserable that we’re not in them)
3. Los Angeles Lakers (Casual fans want a Lakers-Celtics matchup)
4. Boston Celtics (Same as above… plus it makes the East look better)
5. New Orleans (Bulls fans will love the rags to riches story of the Hornets)
