the bulls look great and and match up amazingly with the heat. match-ups are normally what wins series as well, which puts them in a good position to get out of the first round for the first time since '98.
I'll tell you a good match up. 1996 Play-offs Jazz-Bulls. Ohh . . I miss those days.
It seems that the playoffs are totally different. Any team can win.
The Bulls played the Sonics in '96. But the Jazz got their fair share of losing to them in '97 and '98. Sorry, had to throw that out there.
