Kerr: If Bulls Play Their Game, They Have 'Great Chance To Win'

While that panic might have some legitimacy, anyone hitting the panic button on the future of the team needs to take a deep breath.

"This is such a young team, that the future is really bright," former Bull and current NBA analyst Steve Kerr said on the Danny Mac Show.

I mean, think back to Michael [Jordan] and Scottie [Pippen], you know, trying to get past Detroit for a few years before they finally, you know, made it to the title. So, this is a young team. They're growing together.

"They've had a phenomenal season. And the only thing they need to focus on is [Thursday] night. If they can go out and play hard and do what they normally do, I think they have a great chance to win. And then at that point, you just never know. I mean, you can't look at Game 6, you just have to look at [Thursday night] and not worry about all the noise coming from the outside."
