Nobody signed up for a game preview (which is fine, but just a reminder to do sign up if you're interested) for tonight's clash against the Pistons, so in lieu of something more proper let's take a look at the East as a whole.
John Schuhmann just broke it down today on NBA.com, since Bulls-Pistons is one of 3 games with combatants in this race for the second seed. And there's a 2.5 games difference between the #2 and #10 ranked teams in the conference.
This isn't news to Bulls fans, but worth pointing out: the Bulls have the best record of these teams, but haven't had the best performance based on point differential.
