they're currently 2nd in the East. they are definitely in good position to make some moise in the playoffs, i dont think theyre going to win it all, but they have the potential to reach the conference finals.
there ability to both defend and score points is definitely something that will work in their favour. they have SOME playoff experience and that will help. the addition of championship winner and defensive player of the year Ben Wallace, means that the team will have a strong anchor in the back who can lead the team with his experience and defensive abilities.
if Deng and Gordan can put the points on the board, i can see the team doing some damage in the playoffs...who knows...a pistons bulls match up in the finals could be an interesting match up.

Young and improving daily.
The key pieces could be around for quite a while. Hinrich and Gordon will develop into one of the best backcourts in the NBA. Deng will soon be a perennial all-star. Nocioni is a great complement to Deng at the 3. Tyrus Thomas will likely be the most athletic 4 in the NBA, and once he learns to shoot something besides a dunk he'll be unstoppable. Ben Wallace does the heavy dirty work, and seems perfectly suited to the Bulls' post position (defense, rebound, and pick up the junk buckets).
They lack a true post scorer, and it seems that their system is designed to prevent a post scorer from developing. Curry & Chandler suddenly seemed to learn how to score when they left Chicago. Perhaps they can draft a center with the Knick's pick who will develop into a post scorer.
Realistically, the Bulls should probably be the favorites to win the East as the 2 seed. The survivor of the Pistons/ Heat/ Cavs will likely have nothing left. And the likely East champ has an excellent shot in the Oden/Durant lottery? With Oden and the existing young core, the Bulls dynasty could be as good as the Jordan/Pippen era.

Psh they are amazing. They are playing the best basketball since the Jordan era. They have a really young team, but they have key veterns in Ben Wallace and P.J Brown. All the young players, Ben Gordan, Loul Dang, Kirk Hinrich, Tyrus Thomas, are all future all-stars. They have a good chance this year in the playoffs.

they're making it out of the first round of the play offs for sure... if they had some scoring down low, they'd even be able to give western conference teams some trouble in the finals and be right there in the east... the bulls are the one team that i think scares the hell outta the pistons because they whipped them twice this year-even in detroit! gordon should have been an all star and so should have hinrich! still they're one of the most dangerous teams out of the east!

They are playing very good Basketball right now. They also are fortunate if they end up in no. 2, having to play against lighter teams. Chicago might just end up in the Finals and probably the championship if they continue their great defensive attitude.

The Bulls are going to be tough to be in the East. They are young, and have exceptional defense. They have been playing great basketball as of late, and are gelling at the right time.

I think they're pretty bad ever since Michael Jordan left.
