- Chicago Bulls (46-31)
In Derrick Rose, the Bulls have a wildcard and potential trump card addition no other team can boast of. All season long, much has been made of what Rose wasn’t in the 46 games he’s suited up for this season. But through it all, he was good enough to average 18 points, five assists and three rebounds. Such contributions, combined with what’s expected from a suddenly healthy Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson, could make things quite interesting for LeBron and crew come the latter rounds of play in the East.
