Between the Atlanta Hawks, NJ Nets and Chicago bulls, who deserves the final playoff spot in the East?

You have Bulls, a team that was suppose to become serious contenders in the east and they have significantly underachieved.They have been one of the leagues top disappointments this season, yet they still have a shot at getting in. Then you have the hawks, who got off to a surprising start, which I doubted they could keep up and that they would eventually show there true colors because I mean, this is Atlanta. Since that 15-12 start, they have been mostly a down team and very inconsistent at times. Then you have the Nets, a team that is 4-8 since the Kidd trade, including a 6 game losing streak. They have a star in Vince Carter who has lacked heart and have tried to put on the move. Apart from Jefferson, the rest of the team is complete garbage. Any of these teams would be lucky to avoid a sweep to the celtics in the first round, whoever gets in. Who though is most deserving?

1. Hawks Jefferson Deserves more he should move.
2. Bulls simply because they are the best of the 3 teams.
3. Hawks no doubt, they've been playing hard, horford sould be R.O.Y. johnson a clear all-star, and their 2 deep at every position
4. I want the Hawks to win but the coach is doing terrible and also the Bulls are getting better now... Mike Bibby 5-10 since acquired -_-
5. atlanta
6. THE HAWKS!! Sure they have gone down hill, but I dont blame them their coach SUCKS!!! They deserve to go to the playoffs, because they are very talented, and if given a chance could be really successful!! Joe Johnson just needs a little bit more help, since he is the only really big scorer. The Hawks also deserve it because, they do not suck, if they did they wouldn't have beat all those good teams in the beg ginning. HAWKS♥♥♥♥ ROY=AL HORFORD!!!
7. i would say the hawks. chicago has just bn down from the beginning. they did a good job of trying to do something about it in the trade w/ cavs but that isnt going to help their trade very much. they traded their most consistant player (Joe Smith) n when that happens, u know ur team isnt that good. the nets basically said "we'r in rebuilding mode now" they traded off kidd who is their only consistant star. jefferson is getting there. but carter is just unmotivated and lost his heart of the game. he wouldv bn traded if he didnt have a big contract too. altanta has made a move that shouldv bn done a few seasons ago. they lost potientially great point guards (deron williams, chris paul, brandon roy). but w/ mike bibby, they finally got the help they need. and their team isnt all that bad. altanta's finally got the pieces for a playoff team. but theyr still going to get swept by boston
8. The celtics should get a buy or the last spot should go to the 50 win team in the west that doesn't make it
9. for west nuggets for east hawks
10. depends who wants it more in the final games of the regular season
11. hawks are most deserving but the team who will get the #8 spot is the Bulls
12. chicago because they can do some damage if they start playing like they did last year.
