Fan bloggers on ESPN.com, uncertain what to make of the Bulls, have the team finishing anywhere from fourth to eighth in the Eastern Conference this year.

"How soon we forget about one of the most compelling first-round NBA playoff series in recent memory between the Bulls and the Boston Celtics a season ago," blogs owenjs33.

Maybe the residual memories of that series are what prodded one blogger to pick the Bulls, despite a projected lower seed, to make the conference finals.

In another nod of respect, Blogger Dukeyanks1515 has picked guard Derrick Rose to follow up his rookie of the year honors with an MVP performance.
