I called this ( the Bulls beating the Heat in the East come play-off time ) at the beginning of the season, most my friends laughed at this statement defending a team I think to be one of the most overated. That same day the champs got whupped by 42 points. the Bulls have the necissary ingredients to win the East. Experience ( P.J., Big Ben ) and youthfull exuberance ( Sefolosha, Thomas ), the improving Loul Deng, all those energetic slashing jump shooters ( Henrich, Noc, Duhon ) a mini "assassin" in Ben Gordon, plus the ability to hit the three. but the main reason I like them in the post season, is that they play defense. I think the Bulls have what it takes to take the defending champs down for the count. Wierd, because I never liked the Bulls, even in the Jordan era, but I like THIS team. With the additions of Big Ben and Tyrus Thomas they won me over. I'm glad they didnt break it up to get Gasol.

I appreciate your passion for your favorite sport. However, a generic AP column is something you can catch on any news channel's sports coverage several times a day. If we are going to have to weed through posts of every playoff game It's gonna be a long couple of months.
