April 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) VDN and Forman are at odds over Noah's minutes. Here's what I don't get. If Forman's the GM, then why'd he have to call Pax in order to get the ok? This team's f***ed. I totally see the Bulls getting no big name in FA this summer.
April 11, 201015 yr I love how Vinny realized his mistake in putting in Noah too long, and now he's in trouble for trying to protect him. Give me a f***ing break.
April 11, 201015 yr Not Vinny's mistake at all. Here's a pure case of him being set up to fail. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. If Noah would've played more, re-injured himself, we probably would've heard about how VDN is in trouble for playing him in OT against the worst team in the league.
April 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) big game today ! Oh, yes! The privilege to get swept by the Cavs is on the line! They're few things more meaningless in sports than making the playoffs as a 7th/8th seed in the NBA. And the local stations and papers out here actually have the audacity to be hyping this game up. This isn't exactly game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals.

The Bucks can swap picks with the Bulls anyways so why not win as much as possible and maybe hope for a win or 2 in the playoffs.

The Bucks can swap picks with the Bulls anyways so why not win as much as possible and maybe hope for a win or 2 in the playoffs. And what does a win or two actually accomplish in the long run? Absolutely nothing. I won't go as far as to say I want them to lose. But either way, this season has no relevance.

I won't go as far as to say I want them to lose. But either way, this season has no relevance. Every single game you can expose the young core to the feeling of playoff basketball, the better. I would rather see Rose learning how to win against guys like LeBron and company than staying at home and hoping the Bulls sign a free agent. Even four games is something.

I would rather see Rose learning how to win against guys like LeBron and company than staying at home and hoping the Bulls sign a free agent. Even four games is something. We heard the exact same thing with the BG/Hinrich/Deng/Chandler teams. How simply making the playoffs would be beneficial in the long run. We saw how that worked out. And no FA is going to be duped into signing here if we're able to steal a game or two (seriously doubtful) against the Cavs.

The fear of god? We were down 3-0, the Pistons got bored, lost a couple games, and waxed us at home in game 6. And we didn't make the playoffs the next year.
April 11, 201015 yr Author Losing is never better than winning in this situation. Being the last lottery team isn't going to pay any benefits. Getting them in at least does something, even if it is only four games.

But either way, not a thing changes as far as where we are as a franchise. Unless we get a premier FA, we're exactly where we were at the start of the season. In no-man's land.
April 11, 201015 yr Good first half for the Bulls, but Toronto has been a House of Horrors for them, so hopefully they keep it up in the next half. Edit: Turgoklu complained way to long for that foul And Bargnani had a monster block on rose, but it worked out in the end. Edited April 11, 201015 yr by Quinarvy

April 11, 201015 yr Looks like the Bulls will need to win out, control their destiny. The Raptors have Detroit and New York left to play while we have two playoff teams...

If it was two matchups vs. the Nets, they would blow it.
