The hornets are actually going to surprise a lot of people so a loss to then isn't as bad as last year. I say math might not be to far off considering how bad the east looks this year.
Put it down man, put it down. You have to be smoking if you think that team is a 50 win team. I understand your love for your team, but be realistic. They have lost to the Hornets already to start the season. Do you know how difficult it is to win 50 games? There are so many things that would have to go well. You are about to see it.
Bulls were 18-9 without Rose last season. That pro-rates to a 54+ win season.
That's my logic.
If you want to refute that by claiming I'm on drugs and point to a single loss, then that's just going to have to be your position on the matter.
Want to make a wager? I will take the over at 45 games.

Again as I stated earlier, it's not the same team as last year. They lost a lot of depth.
They did a pretty good job of replacing the depth though. Asik was the biggest loss they had and while he is a 'likable' player that gets a lot of attention, he really had a marginal impact for the Bulls last year. They still have Taj coming off the bench, which I felt was way, way more important.
I think 50 is a bit of a stretch, but I certainly don't see this team cellar dwelling

The 50 depends on when\how Rose comes back.
I don't get too worked up about this season anyway, the Bulls need a little more playoff seasoning which is what was really sad about last years season. Healthy, they would have gotten back to the ECF and taken it to 5-6 games which is very valuable experience.
