NBA Power Rankings 2012: Bulls Hold Strong In Top Three
Despite getting blown out last week by the Atlanta Hawks, the Chicago Bulls are rated as a top three team in the NBA.
After playing five games last week, the Bulls will play five more games this week, though with only one tough opponent on the slate. They will start the week off with a back-to-back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards before skipping Thursday and playing a Friday/Saturday back-to-back vs. the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors.
