The Bulls will be there in the end.

I don't doubt that, but through 10 games, I'm sure you'd agree that their play has been disappointing so far.

They have the best coach in the game and Rose will eventually get back to his old self, but for right now, they don't look so great.
 
Whoever gets the 1 seed in the East will likely sweep the first 2 rounds of the playoffs.
 
The Bulls are doing the Thunder a favor by taking apart the Trailblazers in Portland. Very impressive.

They've done a great job on Aldridge so far. He and Lillard are really struggling against the Bulls' defense.

They were outscored by 22 in that 3rd quarter and never quite recovered.

Blazers pull the victory out.

Also, Mavs improve to 9-4. :mj
 
Didn't see it, but Rose hurt his right knee and left game. Couldn't put pressure on leg when taken to locker room. MRI today. It didn't look as bad as when he was hurt against Sixers and hopefully its nothing. After what he went through any little pain in his knee is going to freak hin out.

Edit: Now I'm seeing a few reports that say Bulls sources think its a right ACL tear pending MRI. Hope its not true.

I saw it last night while watching the game. There was no contact. He was making a backdoor cut to the basket and I guess his knee gave out.

His knee didn't bend awkwardly or anything. It was a very ordinary looking play.

Very shocking that they are thinking this is an ACL. I thought it was a tweak/sprain at most.
 
Damn.... That would suck if true.

Crazy how this guy just turned into Mr. Glass all of a sudden.
 
If it's an ACL his brother will hold him out until the 2015-2016 season.

That's the thing though. Guys that tear ACL sometimes walk off and think its nothing. Its the MCL I believe where there's pain and you know somethings wrong.
 
I give the Rose lovers shit, but I hate to see a young guy have his career threatened by injury.
 
Man, that's tough. To finally get back on the court and have the same thing happen again (maybe).
 
Yeah...people will just want to take on lots of salary while giving up picks in an alltimer of a draft.
 
Torn meniscus. Surgery. Out indefinitely. Could be a lot worse. Could be back between a month and two months.
 
We'll see what happens this time but he's basically turning into Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, etc., etc. Luckily medicine has improved since then and athletically he seemed as good as ever after the ACL so you never know.

I'd certainly look at tanking by trading Deng and such, probably not Noah, but I don't see that happening.

Very fortunate to have not been worse, but the Bulls are gonna be in trouble.

They were already struggling with him in the lineup, so I don't know where they're going to find the offense with him out.
 
I'd be fine with a late lottery pick honestly, if we get the Bobcats pick on top of that and have say the 12th and 14th picks, let Deng walk or hopefully trade him for whatever before the trade deadline, bring Mirotic over and they could have something like Rose/Gary Harris or Wayne Selden/Butler/Gibson/Noah with Mirotic and someone like Noah Vonleh or Aaron Gordon off the bench.

I'll take that.
