Did Chicago Bulls make the playoff?

They sure did.  What an amazing run at the end.  They have so much momentum going their way.  I'm interested to see what they do in the playoffs.

Miami Heat will take it all home in Game 6. Miami wasn't playin' at their best last night and they still won, and Dallas playin' at their hardest still lost... The only reason Dallas is in the playoffs is b/c they fouled their selves there.\n\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!!

I saw them winning, I didn't see them winning by 42...\n\nThe star player on the Bulls is and will be Luol Deng.  He's grown 2 inches since they drafted him and is poised to be a similar type of player to Scottie Pippen (maybe even better than Pip...seriously).  But the signature with this team isn't a "best player" though, because so many of their players are right there with Deng at the top and the Bulls play as a team, you could make an argument for up to 7 guys being their best players:  Deng, Big Ben, Little Ben, Kirk, Nocioni, Thomas, and even Sefolosha down the road.  They're going to have a great season.

The Bulls will win their division and probably advance to the Conference Finals. If their rookies are as good as the Bulls say, I say a trip to the NBA Finals is in order. I dont know about winning the whole thing but they have sent a message to the league that they are not playing around. \n\nHere is the thing. They play 11 of their first 15 games on the road to start the season. If after the first 15 games they win more than 9....its going to be a very special season for the Bulls.

The only correct answer from anybody is they do not know. It is too early in the season to give an accurate answer as to any NBA team making the playoffs right now.

How 'bout the 88-89 to 90-91 Detroit Pistons\n\nThey were just a good basketball team who were solid at every position, had a deep bench and great coaching. If not for a Dennis Rodman ill advised 3 pointer they would have won 3 titles in a row.\n\nFor evidence I point to the fact that they were able to contain Jordan and Pippen while both were in their prime. What failed the Pistons more than anything as the Bulls blew past them was that they all got old around the same time and the younger, hungrier Bulls led by Jordan and Pippen eventually prevailed. \n\nI agree with an above posting to that mentioned the Bulls that went 72-10 but remember there was expansion during this period (Raptors, Grizzlies, Magic, Heat, Hornets) which may have inflated that win total.

The 72 Lakers finished 69-13 and won an all-time professional sports record of 33 games in a row.\n\nThe '67 Philadelphia 76ers were 68-13 and won the title, while incidentally crushing the EIGHT-TIME DEFENDING champion Boston Celtics in a five game blowout in the Eastern Conference finals.\n\nThose are probably the two best teams ever, as the league had not been watered down with a bunch of expansion teams and the league was also not littered with high school players.  Only men needed apply for NBA roster spots in those days.\n\nWilt Chamberlain was the center on both of these teams, he always said that the 76er team was the better of the two... he said the Lakers were lucky in a lot of ways and things just fell into place for them...  but that Laker team faced everyone in the playoffs that they did NOT want to play (i.e. the defending champion Bucks with MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the Knicks in the finals), and still won the title easily.\n\nEither of these teams would destory the 96 Bulls, as the Bulls would have had no way of matching up with those teams.\n\nBut I did love watching those Bulls teams! A lot of my friend who are Bulls fans were worried when they picked up Rodman, but I told them that MJ and Scottie wouldn't let Rodman become the destructive force he'd been on other teams... but even I had no idea that they'd win the title that easily.\n\nStill, for one year, I'd go with the 76er team with Wilt at Center. The '86 Celtics were also a great, great team, and would also have destroyed the 96 Bulls.  The 87 Lakers were also superior to any of the Bulls championship teams.\n\nHeck, the '73 Knicks were better than the Bulls teams as well, as were the 74 and 76 Celtics.  Dave Cowens did incredible work against both Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar....think he'd have any trouble going against Bill Cartwright or Luc Longley??     \n\nPippen would be worn out by halftime chasing John Havlicek around the court... \n\nLet's see, Bill Cartwright, or Willis Reed?  Hmmmm.... tough one there...\n\nAnd man, it would just be too funny watching Steve Kerr try to guard Earl Monroe!!!

The Bulls wont win a the Championship unless one of two things happen. They get a guard that is 6'6" and can play perimeter defense on the best guards in the game and give you 15 to 20 points, and or they need 25 points a game and 10 rebounds a night from the number 4 spot. \n\nMy solution: Deal the Knick's first rounder and our first rounder, along with Sweeney and Othella Harrington, for Jermaine O'Neal and a Second round pick. Then with two second round picks we might be able to find our version of Bruce Bowen or Raja Bell. Somebody get Paxman on the Phone...

Nope. Shaq's knees are failing him and it will take more than d-wade's heriocs for the Heat to repeat their success last season. I predict they'll be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. TD and the Spurs are gonna win it all this year.

O isn't that cute that you think the bulls are going to win. We all know its going to be Detroit. I do like the bulls but I am always routing for the Pistons

Shaq plays for the Miami Heat who beat the Chicago Bulls in round one of the NBA playoffs and just the other day beat the New Jersey Nets to place themselves into the Eastern Conference finals against either the Cavs or the Pistons, for the Eastern Conf. Championship to move on to play in the Finals against the winner of the Western Conf.

All the above answers are right. Birmingham Bulls and  Cincinnati Stingers finished 5th and 6th in the final season of the WHA, and were denied entry into NHL.

No they wont make the playoffs.  I didnt think they would make it even with im healthy.

Yes.  Shaq and Wade by themselves could beat the Bulls.  Not really, of course, but you get the idea.

They are currently 5th in the Western Conference right now, so they have a great shot. It might even be possible for them to pass Phoenix and take over the division, but I doubt that will happen. Of course, the #5 seed in the Western Conference has a really tough road, since they will probably have to play either Dallas or San Antonio in the first round (depending on who wins the Southwest Division). The NBA's playoff structure is really messed up.
