NO.
There is just no other way to put it and not much will convince me that this team of serious underachievers can get to the playoffs. I realize they are only 1/2 game out of the 8th spot. But being 12 games UNDER .500, I would be embarassed to be in the playoffs.
The "Baby Bulls" thing is done. They certainly exceeded anyone's expectations the last 2 seasons. But as soon as they show up on everyone's radar - they fall apart. They don't play as a team. Veryone wants to be a star and the rest of them just can't shut up long enough to realize what is happening to this team. Paxson has some serious decisions to make in the off-season. I do not blame him one bit for this season. He has put together a team long on talent, but short on maturity. Not his fault. We all thought Big Ben was going to be that leadership we needed but it turned out he wasn't the answer and seemed to add more to the conflict on the team then anything.
A big move for a true leader for next season is the answer. That's the only way this team will get anywhere in the East.

The Baby Bulls died a long time ago. I think Paxson needs to get rid of some players, either because they failed, or because the Bulls aren't giving them a fair shot.
I have seen a lot of Duhon and Thomas bashing but those two are going to make Bulls fans look stupid when they catch on with their new teams.

J.Hova yeah I agree with you, they probably will go to another team & florish ,but what else is new,that always happens around here.But like I keep saying it all falls on management,yeah the players are the ones that play the game,BUT management puts the team together.Riensdork is a cheapskate & Paxson doesn't have a clue what he's doing.They fired Skiles thinking he was the problem & the Bulls still suck,so whos the real problem now Boylan.yeah rite c'mon now, management needs to take responsability for this hot mess. And why are Bulls fan so darn adament about making the playoffs,hello we'll end up playing the Celtics, what does that spell #1.(A@@ whooping by a real team) #2.that will just give Paxson more ammunition about how good this team could really be because they made the playoffs, c'mon Chicago wake up!!!
