Rajon Rondo isn’t a fan of predictions. Especially when they slate his team to finish far lower than he expects.

Rondo was given wind of a prediction that had the Bulls in the bottom four of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Rondo believes the Bulls will have homecourt in the first round.

The Bulls will be one of the most interesting teams in the league this season. Not only did they add Rondo this summer, but also shockingly nabbed Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat. Those two paired with Jimmy Butler give the Bulls a lot of talent in the backcourt.

But how will they fit together?

That’s what everyone’s asking right now and a big reason why some are a little cautious about projecting the Bulls to have a strong season.

Neither Rondo nor Wade is a threat to shoot from the outside anymore. Butler is becoming a good outside shooter but unless the Bulls start a stretch four, four of their five shooters may not be threats to shoot.

Spacing could be an issue, although Rondo and Wade are two of the best in recent history at operating in an offense that isn’t spaced well.

Bottom line, the Bulls have to prove it first. Until then, no one’s picking them as a Top 4 team in the East.
