So the bulls beat the heat twice without rose. Yes he played but wasnt playing basketball.

That is interesting. Like Kerr said last night, the Bulls were actually better with Rose on the bench last night which is an odd thing to say but reality yesterday.

From one to Scal, this team has the best chemistry in the league without question. If they're healthy I don't see how they're not the favorites.

With that my heart skipped a beat when CJ took that shot. Great finish to a broken play. Good heads up by Korver and Boozer.

Not worried about Rose. It was mentioned several times last night about being in shape and being NBA shape. He is not in NBA shape. He's slower, and he's mentality slower. The game is moving too quick for him and it will take a couple days.

I'm ready for May. These two teams are destined again to meet in the ECF. Bring it.

EDIT:

Also LOVED the decision to keep Rose on the bench at the end and play Watson. This should have happened on Sunday at NY.

Really good game, awesome to see how the guys played last night with Rose struggling big time.

Went out to watch the game with friends last night and actually had a guy at the bar go on and on about not wanting the Bulls to play New York in the first round because they can't beat the Knicks in a seven game series. ESPN has made people basketball stupid I swear.

I know there are some really over-excited Bulls fans BUT let's not be idiots. There are literally some folks calling in on sports talk radio saying that the Bulls don't need Derrick Rose because they've played so well without him.

I don't care what the record says, the Bulls don't have an effective Derrick Rose for the playoffs, they ain't winning the championship. I don't care what the other players do. You can holla, Kyle Korver, Carlos Boozer, CJ Watson and whatever other Bull that steps up, their championship hopes still rest on Rose being a threat.

Some casual fans are a joke and need to keep their "brilliant" ideas to themselves.

I knew this was coming though.

Can't really blame the fans for saying that though . Not that I agree with them, but they've been blinded by the wins we've gotten without DRose.

Agree that we wont he able to win a chip w.o him.

By far if they mean out of the 1st round and that's it then yeah, I agree. This team without Rose maybe can scrap 2 wins in a 7 game series against Miami. And that's a big maybe. At then end it comes down to who is you're playmaker and what can he do. In a 7 game series a Roseless Bulls team would get exposed faster than Adam Morrison.

If I was the radio host I'd probably just hang up and call them idiots. lol

Can you even call it an exposing though? Only a goof needs to see it with they're own eyes what will happen to them in the playoffs without Rose.

Agreed. I only listen to the radio after big games where I know the "less smart" fans will call in. Usually it's Pandora or my ipod.

Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread Apr 9th - Apr 15th

What happened to Eddy Curry in Miami? I remember ESPN making a big deal about him playing a couple of months ago. Now I haven't seen him on the court since then. Is he really THAT terrible he can't get a couple of minutes

Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread Apr 9th - Apr 15th

Honestly, I don't see the Bulls beating Indiana in a 7 game series without Rose.

Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread Apr 9th - Apr 15th

So how about those Warriors-Mavs and Spurs-Grizzlies games last night?

Quiet you, Bulls corner is still going lol.

Seriously though, I can't comment on those games cause I didn't see either of them last night.

All I know is I can't wait for the Playoffs and Miami to wipe us out by 50 every game again like they did last year. Cause we didn't compete at all last year against them. /End Sarcasm
