If the Bulls will reach the playoffs, their biggest rivals will be the 76ers, Nets, and Bucks. Of the 3 teams I mentioned, I think the Bulls will struggle against the Bucks because they have enough roster who can stop the big 3 of the Bulls and they are the defending champion so they have proven to be a good team. With the Bulls success, I think they become the most hype team this season and I'm sure they will continue to impressed the NBA fans with their great perforamance in every game.
Everyone imagines that by the playoff time we will be much better in covid cases and we will not have this many players missing games. However, I am not entirely sure if that will be the case, I know there is a long time to go until playoffs but covid cases seems to be increasing more than ever, not killing as many but definitely still not allowed to play at the very least. This is why I am not entirely sure if playoffs will be exactly how we imagine it will be like.
Bucks, Nets, Bulls, Sixers all need to be careful about the covid cases so that the team with the least amount of players out, will be the team with the biggest advantage. If there is no more risk, then I am still expecting Bucks to be beating everyone else, they did it last year, and I can see them doing it again this year as well. Not going to be as easy, but definitely still possible.
