The Golden State Warriors and the Chicago Bulls are the only teams with over 60 wins in the BBS this season and that just shows how dominate they have been. They should have no problem meeting each other in the Finals.
The Chicago Bulls hold a 62-20 regular season record. They own one of the best and deepest front courts in the league with Dirk, Brand, Rasheed, and Camby. That is a big front line that is very versatile. With Dirk 7 feet and playing small forward launching jumpers, Brand dominating the paint on both ends, Camby providing a steady shot blocking and rebounding presence in the middle, and Rasheed coming off the bench with size and athletic ability makes the Bulls very tough up front.
The Bulls back court is not nearly as deep but their starters are big, versatile, and very good. With Joe Johnson at the 2 he can create a lot of shots on offense while playing good defense. Ginobli at the 1 also can create offense on his own while setting others up. He really disrupts other point guards due to his size, length, and quickness.
The Warriors are the complete opposite. They are deep in the back court and a little weaker in the front court. They have probably the 2 best guards in the league in Baron Davis and Kobe Bryant. With those two who don't need backups. Vince Carter is a very nice third option as he takes it to the hoop or shoots the ball with range.
Their front court is not as good but they have guys who do their roles very well. Scot Pollard, Aaron Williams, and Malik Rose do the dirty work and do a nice job of focusing on defense and rebounding. It would be nice to have a scorer but with Kobe and Baron they wouldn't get many shots.
You really have to like the Warriors as they won 66 games for a reason, the most in the league, however they played in a weaker conference as no other team won more than 47 games. The east on the other hand have won 52, 58, and 59 giving the Bulls a run for their money. As good as those teams are, the Knicks, Pistons, and Raptors, I really think the Bulls will pull out of the East and into the Finals and with they excellent all around team that can hurt you any way they are going to win the Finals.
Should be an exciting playoffs and good luck to all the teams.
