Celtics lose- Bulls now #1 seed in East

Yet again Bulls win and now the Spurs lost last night...
so the Bulls are tied with San Antonio for the overall best record in the NBA and all the tiebreakers are also even...
so if it ends this way it'll be a coin flip for who gets home court advantage should they meet in the Finals...

The Bulls play their final game hosting New Jersey (Bulls are 1-0 vs. NJ in Chicago and 1-1 at NJ)
and the Spurs play theirs at Phoenix
 
The Lakers beat the Spurs last night, though Spurs coach Greg Popovich chose to rest Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Tim Duncan.

But Lakers center Andrew Bynum suffered a knee injury and left the game in the first half and did not return. He is scheduled for an MRI today. He hyperextended the knee, and it did not look good. If Bynum has to miss any significant time, the Lakers could be vulnerable in the playoffs.

The Lakers also have a player out with reported chickenpox-

I agree on your assessment about LA. They are much better team when Odom comes off the bench. I also wonder how SA will play throughout the playoff because getting through the west will be a grind.

I'm starting to like The Bulls' chances and their bench is contributing and I'm betting that will make all the difference in closing out series. Celtics bench is weak, Miami has no depth and Orlando has been way to inconsistent.
 
The Bulls ended up winning every game in April, and have won 9 in a row...
Over the past two months of the season the Bulls have gone 24-3 while the Spurs have gone 15-12 and the Celts have gone 15-12.
Over the last 3 months of the season...the Bulls have gone 34-6 while the Spurs have gone 25-15 and the Celts have gone 23-17.
...and only two Bulls players (Deng & Rose) are even in the Top 60 in the NBA in minutes played...
