Could the Chicago Bulls make a run to the Eastern Conference Finals?

The Eastern Conference is very competitive and is set to be a house of horrors this season. The Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, and Miami Heat are serious contenders in the conference, with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, and Charlotte Hornets close behind.

With such a challenging conference, do the Bulls have a chance to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals?

A healthy Bulls team has all the weapons necessary to go all the way, and having a shot in the conference finals is a realistic ceiling. If the Bulls can stay on the floor, defend the big men, and continue to build chemistry, the team may have a chance to battle the best in the East.

There is no telling how good this team can be, but if they can build upon last season and beat some of the top teams in the regular season, the Bulls should be fighting for a top spot in the East going into the playoffs this coming season.
