They've made something like 11 3-pointers all season and are still 3-1. Thibs has also possibly tweaked the defense to make them more aggressive so they can get steals and get out in transition more to get easier buckets.

Thibs is a goddamn wizard, that's what he is.

They're eeking out wins against horseshit teams and lost to a New Orleans squad missing Anthony Davis. I question how long they can keep up the frenetic playing style that has netted them these three narrow wins. We'll find out pretty soon what kind of road team they are and whether they can beat a decent opponent anywhere.

Here's how I see it playing out.

Thu. vs. OKC - L
Sat. Vs. Minn - W
11/12. vs. Bos. - L
11/14 @ PHX - W
11/17 @ LAC - L
11/18 @ Por - L
11/21 @ Hou - L
11/24 @ Mil - L
11/26 vs. Mil - W
11/28 vs. Dal - W

Record at the close of November: 7-7.

Which is pretty much what we had them pegged for. And then they go back to playing more shitty Eastern conference teams including a certain division rival who is falling apart as we read this tripe.

And we're basing your win/loss predictions off your gut feel on what will happen each night?
The bulls can beat any of those team on any given night, on effort and defense alone. 

The bulls are exactly who we said they'd be, with injuries to other teams, Slaky is right, the bulls are looking better and better each day. I think my top 5 in the east prediction might be a lock.

I'm basing them off of what I've seen so far this year and last from the teams in question, current injury statuses, the travel schedule and proximity of the games to one another. I don't know what more to go on. You're right the Bulls can beat those teams on effort and defense alone if the better/road opponents decide to simply not show up. That seems to be what you're banking on, which is a little odd. But I'll allow it because we're just jerking around here trying to predict shit for no money or fame or fuckall.

Well, that's weird. Honestly, I hadn't seen that.

If Heinrich doesn't play tonight, my streak could be jeopardy. But I doubt it.

I'm not changing my pick but I no longer foresee them losing at Portland on Sunday although that will be tough coming off the Clipper game. When you pick four straight you can start using words like foresee. After five-plus you're a goddamn wizard.
