Balta1701 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wow, after tonight's game, the Bulls go through a stretch of 5 days with only 1 game. It's an April Miracle. Play the Celtics on thursday, rough game if there's no Rose there too, but good respite and chance to recover without a lot of games for Hamilton and Rose.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 07:51 AM) Bulls are up 10 games on the Pacers, so barring an epic collapse they're guaranteed a top 4 seed. Sit Rose until he's absolutely 100%. There's nothing to be gained from him coming back and getting re-injured before the playoffs or in the first or second round of the playoffs. The Bulls are up 2 games on the Heat in the loss column with a little over a dozen games left, if the Bulls/Heat split their H2H games, I think a Rose less Bulls hang on for the top seed in the EC. Looking at the Thunder's schedule, they have more road games than home games remaining so the Bulls still have an excellent shot at the top seed overall, even without DR.

Steve9347 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 08:41 AM) Rose hints he may return next week Thanks for the link to absolutely no information. I'll go ahead and repeat that Rose very well might not play again in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have led the NBA in games played all year long. It is time for that to even out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 jon greenberg @espnchijon Bulls hadn't lost consecutive regular season games since dropping Ls at Golden State and Portland on Feb. 5 & 7, 2011. Eighty-six games. That streak was second-longest in NBA history. Utah went 95 from 97-99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Can anyone explain to me why CJ Watsons head has been squarely up his ass for the better part of the past month? His disappearing act has forced Lucasanity upon us, and opposing teams love it when Lucas is in the game, jacking ill advised shots and being unable to play competent defense because of his size. Last night you could tell Thibs had enough of Boozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he has really been healthy, or it just playing to bridge the gap until Rose is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually can only stand him for so long when he hosts CTL, i prefer Boyle and Schanowski much much more. If I am gonna be told by you to stop listening to the media, then you need to stop posting that the media is telling you that Rose is done for the rest of the regular season.

I didn't say that had anything to do with the media. The media has said absolutely every possible scenario for Rose. I initially posted in here the first game Rose missed that the injury might be way worse than they were making it out to be since he was sitting on a big ass pad on his chair on the bench and he said it was the "worst day of his life".
