Nocioni is pretty much better than Richard Jefferson, but Bulls really don't have a player anywhere as good as Carter or as a playmaker as Kidd, but collectively at those spots the Bulls make up for it with a variety of players: Duhon, Pargo, Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, a very nice 5 man rotation there, and the Nets really are a thin team, so the series is really an equal one, and yeah, Nets are doing good right now, but so are the Bulls, they are peaking at the right time.
