11:01 PM ET 03.15 | More than 12 hours after the end of the worst loss ever suffered by the Chicago Bulls under Tom Thibodeau -- against the Sacramento Kings, of all teams -- it's probably time to sit down and see if there's anything we can learn from the 121-79 loss. I don't know about you, but I spent much of the time between the end of the game last night and this morning hoping desperately it hadn't really happened, but it has. And in looking at the box score, dear God is there some awfulness here. I guess we'll start with the good: Carlos Boozer continued his noble tradition of bumslaying, putting up an efficient 21 points and adding four assists. Nate Robinson also had a nice night offensively, scoring 19 on 7/9 shooting.

The Bulls just need Rose back playing again and they shake things up in the East.

there are a few things
1- they are tiring from playing so hard
2- they know rose is close and are aware that he COULD play- but because he is not mentally ready they are starting to question his motives, which leads to them questioning why they are working hard when the star is being coddled.....
(sorry bull homers- not trying to 'hate'...its just human nature)
3- they don't have enough scoring

Good post, jgb.
I would be wondering about Rose at this point also after working so hard in his absence. He's the highest paid Bull and it's supposedly his team. Why won't he get out and try to help some? The doctors have cleared him.

I know it sounds like 'hate'.....but its not.
I am a MAJOR drose fan-
but IMO- from an outsider looking in---
its ridiculous.

Boozer is always out there and performing. This season he's averaging 16.5 ppg and 9 rpg. I think he is part of why the Bulls are still competitive.

Bulls are fine... the law of deminishing returns has kicked in. That's what you get when you put crappy talent on the floor...

It's not hate. We hold the rest of the NBA players to the same standard. I'm not sure when Rose became like the teachers pet of the NBA who we weren't supposed to talk about but he needs to help his team. At least get out there and give some backup minutes. Stop pampering this kid.

I agree-
play 5 minutes...10 minutes, start against the second unit,
get his feet wet vs the other teams bench guys....
then slowly up the time...
if he's not perfect for a playoff run, so be it-
this 'I'm not playing til I'm 100% mentally ready' stuff is nonsense

HATERS!!!!!
:)
I disagree that the other players are worried about Rose. if anything it's a blessing to all of them trying to earn a name in the league. Bottom lne is I don't think Rose helps enough to get to the Finals this year, so why risk the next ten? Let the other guys get experience and playing time together and next year come out like gang busters.
If Rose wants to come back for limited minutes, so be it. if not, that's fine too.

DRose might be mentally weak after all.
If you are a superstar wanna be you can't pull this kind of crap.

wow- I mean....that is a major defeatist attitude
why doesn't the NBA just stop playing and crown the heat champs?
I really think you're missing the point as to why some of us are EXTREMELY disappointed in rose.
No one thinks he will help them win a ring this year or beat miami
we are questioning his heart and his head
we are questioning his leadership ability
- he is proving to be a poor leader, a little bit selfish... and long term - that is BAD
there is NO REASON- a medically cleared Rose
should not be playing games

Even if Rose has motives against management/ownership he should be playing few minutes just to bring motivation to his teammates and a breath of leadership. Above all show to fans he is a leader and is trying hard.
What he is doing make him look bad on all counts.
