Doesn't sound like Rose is playing tonight. Man, the injuries keep adding up for this guy.

seems like it is one of those years for him. the toe and the back happen, but the groin is a little more concerning. most important thing is to get him healthy for the playoffs.

Pretty impressive performance defensively last night. Franchise record for points allowed with 59. I don't see how any team w/ Dwight Howard could only score 59 points in 1 game...at home!

they don't have an offense. if the three's aren't falling they are in trouble.

That was pathetic at the end of the game there. 4 FTs missed in a row. They deserved that loss.

Agreed, have to hit one of those, no joke, no excuse.

Also can't fall back by21 to atart.

It was good to see rose out there tho.

Yeah, its not the same watching the Bulls without Rose. Good to see him back, but the reigning MVP of the league HAS TO hit at least 1 of those FTs. Brutal.

100% on hitting them. It's his achillies, no doubt. Him and deng should be in the gym right now pumping up a couple hundred ft attempts.

Actuallly, the whole team should.

And another injury for Rose. :x :x

unless there is a severe sprain, he'll play.

he needs to.

him and hamilton have to get into a flow together. hell, hamilton needs to get into a flow of any kind. not shooting for a month is gonna hurt. at least with the leg stuff, he could jack up shots, even if he didn't have great lift. with the shoulder, he couldn't do crap froma shooting/passing perspective.

i know it's in there, as hamilton looked solid early in the season

11 games to go? gotta start thinking about hte peaking process.

Didn't stay up for the 2nd half last night (these 8:30 starts are brutal). Sounds like Rip had a nice game. I don't know what to think about Rose anymore. It's obvious he's not going to be 100% at any point this season so unless he is in terrible pain, throw his ass out there.

i feel asleep on the couch in the 4th.

Rip played a excellent 3rd.

NY got a taste of Lucasdomination.

I'm not worried about rose...everything else (toe/back/groin) are heeled. He just twisted his ankle. it happens..miss a game or two and then back at it. they showed him warming up and it didn't look bad. i'd say this was more being conservative than anything else.

1st and 2nd round playoff tickets presale at 10am central

pw = PLAYOFF

i think i'm going to sit out the first two rounds, but i might buy a confrence final ticket or two if they make it that far.

guessing prices are gonna be nuttty

holy fuckin retarded pricing. lower level on sides, 500 each i pulled 112 row 19

Sit Rose for the rest of the season. He is obviously still hurting. 1 seed is pretty much wrapped up at this point, so there' snot much point in playing him.

i dunno if he is hurting, but his shot has been aweful. he used to make a good deal of those little floaters and flip and spin and crazy shots....

if he is healthy, you gotta play him and get that rust off.

To me, it's pretty obvious that he isn't healthy. He keeps coming back from one injury and then injures something else. Toe, back, groin, ankle. Give him a couple weeks off here before the playoffs get going and he will be as close to 100% as he is going to be.

81

i think he looks a little tenative....i can't tell if he is having issues. i'll leave that to the trainers and coaches.

but if he can go, i'd like to see him go and knock some of that rust off. he hasn't done crap in a month...don't want him to sit for anouther two weeks and then jump right inot the playoffs.

but as tom loves to say....they have enough to win.

out side of rose....

it was nice to see the bulls make the adjustment to miami when miami put lebron on the point (rose or watson). that has sort of been their ace in the hole to date. take that away and well.....i like our chances.
