#4 Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls (Offense: 7th, Defense: 2nd)
The long-awaited return of Derrick could spring Chicago all the way to the NBA Finals, health permitting. Derrick Rose surely remains the back bone of the team. Eastern Conference will be a lot tougher, if the Bulls perform. Rose, defensive stopper Joakim Noah and the sweet-shooting Pau Gasol should fire in order to keep the Bulls going. Aaron Brooks, Mike Dunleavy and Jimmy Butler also play a crucial role.
