Bulls are going to be the team to beat in the East

With Rose and Noah out the Bulls are so deep they still are burying competition. Butler being out when they played Cleveland allowed James free reign, but Cleveland has to grow into a team. The rookie is incredible, but the defense is awful. The Pacers are done. The Heat are not deep enough. The Raptors are going to surprise a great many people as will the Wizards, but no team in the NBA has the depth of the Bulls or plays better defense and team ball.

I am loving what is happening to the Lakers. I listened for five years how Bryant was better than Jordan. He now is collecting his big checks, gunning for stats, and watching his team lose. He had almost achieved the ring thing to make the comparison, but he is not even in the same zip code of Jordan as a competitor. Houston will be the team to beat in the West.
