Is there even a question about that anymore? Especially on a night when the bobcats "win" the lottery and a chance at being relevant again... Maybe, one day.
Scoring points. I'd expect this from a Knick fan. How many points do the Bulls need to win a game? Realisticly 78 points is enoughh to win most games if you play th type of defense that the Bulls play. We really dont need a 20ppg scorer to get the job done. This method has already been proven, tried and true. Defense. Someone should sit you guys down and expain the concept.
Okay. The Bulls record with Rose in street clothes was good enough to have won 55 games forecast over an 82 game season. That is good enough to win a Div and for a 3rd or 4th seed in either conference. I like your argument, but its very badly misplaced. The Bulls are far better than Philly without Rose. They lost that series because Rose went down AND NOAH WENT DOWN in consecutive games. AND still they were basically a non call away from a game 7 back in Chicago. I know you dont want to think so, but the Bulls played better without Rose than the Knicks played when completely healthy. Rose sat out the 2nd half of the season and the Bulls captured the best record overall. The Knicks JUST made the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. With a healthy Noah the Bulls are still COMPETING with the Celtics and with Bosh gone down I'd give both the Celtics AND the Bulls even without Rose a shot at beating King James and Wade. The Bulls beat the BIG 3 2x without Rose.
I get what you are saying but I dont see this happening. Rose missed half THIS season and the Bulls still finished with the NBA's best record. If Noah doesnt go down the game after Rose then the Bulls are playing Boston right now in a toss up. Hell if CJ keeps the ball and hits a couple free throws the Bulls push Philly to a 7th game homecoming without Rose AND Noah.
This team aint gonna collapse no matter who goes down. They will still compete.
What are smiling at? The Knicks barely made the playoffs and then got bounced in the first round. Again. So I guess the more things change the more they remain the same. Plus, your best young players both went down with knees that require surgery. Shump tore an ACL. Same as Rose. So, again. What do you have to smile about?
Rose and The Bulls will be fine. With the Charlotte pick and the kid they have stashed over in Europe they will have some great young players coming in to work inn Thibbs system. Plus, even if Rose misses a majority of the next NBA season the Bulls will still be better team than the Knicks.
Do I have to be a lawyer to point out how absurd it is to judge a pro Athlete by how his voice sounds...or if he has a "DocApproved personality" for that matter? No one cares if DRose doesnt give Doc a stiffy...or if someone else doesnt think he has a good singing voice.
Maybe your right. Rose has a baby voice....and couple of hundred million dollar contracts...and an MVP trophy....and a couple of jealous haters to speak for him.
Truth be told they should have lost a few more games of the ones Derrick missed. the Toronto games comes to mind, where Deng "tips" the ball in at the buzzer. The Bulls have been both good an lucky in the last dozen games or so. They need Derrick back.
The schedule coming up is tough. There are not that many games left. Don???t want to be too rusty go into the playoffs. Having said that, Rose will be all good. Rip? Whatever???
This team aint gonna collapse no matter who goes down. They will still compete.
I cant wait for the playoffs.
lol. I believe they beat Miami, Philly and Orlando (held to 59 points) e you talking about?
