7. Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have consistently been one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. They’re likely going to enter the playoffs as a top 3 seed, but I have no idea if this team can beat any of the top contenders in the East in a seven-game playoff series.

So far this season, the Bulls are a combined 1-7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Philadelphia 76ers. The rebuttal to that is that the Bulls have rarely been healthy this season, but who has?

Are you willing to trust DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Zach LaVine when it matters most against other players with more defined playoff success?
