Is this some sort of joke?

Chris Mannix says the Bulls will win this year's championship. The friggin' Bulls. Let's forget for a moment the fact that the Ben Wallace acquisition was seriously overrated. Does Mannix seriously believe Chicago has a stronger team than, say, Miami? What about the Spurs? A pissed-off Dallas? Phoenix, with Amare back? Really? He believes Chicago will four 7-game series this year when last year they didn't manage even one? Does the fact that there are six question marks in this post preceding the one at the end of this sentence tell you how I feel about this idiotic idea?
