Goombah,

That's a tough situation that Thomas is in. Bulls have quietly built a very solid team. They make playoffs every year...even when Rose was there and injured..they'll be a tough out.

Last times #1 lost in first round were Dirk's Mavs one year to pre-Curry GSW...and Spurs to Memphis a few years back.

I mention Dirk's name because he got his MVP award at a podium, during the second round after Mavs got bounced.

Spurs losing to Grizz was a huge upset..and Spurs haven't loss a single game to them in playoffs since then
