Good article over at NBA.com about the best Bulls games of the year. It highlights match-ups with Detroit, Boston, Portland, Miami, San Antonio and Cleveland.

The Cavs write-up is particularly intriguing, given the playoff history between the two clubs:
"The Bulls and Cavaliers will meet four times in the season’s final two months. This particular game is the fourth to last game for Chicago, thus it could have serious playoff implications. Both teams vied for the East’s second overall seed last year and it was LeBron James and Cleveland who secured the spot and ultimately ended up in the NBA Finals. Given the wide-open nature of the conference this season, a similar scenario could very well play out again this year. It’s a long season and all 82 games count, but this one could carry some extra significance as the Bulls prepare for their fourth straight trip to the postseason."
