This is truly amazing. I understand that everyone immediately switches into playoff mode and the Bulls are 0-0, but they do deserve some serious kudos for what they've done over the 5+ month regular season. The Bulls were nothing short of astounding. Very, very well done, Lads.
Yep, this team has surpassed all expectations this season. We're an unknown quantity in the playoffs, but I see no reason we can't make it to the finals and (maybe) win it all. People don't expect you to go out and win it all until you've gone out and won it all, but I don't see anything about performance that should not translate well in the playoffs. Our defense is excellent, our point differential is the largest in the league, and we're as healthy as we've been all year.
