I don't want the Celtics in round 1 or 2 unless they have to. Of course, the Pacers could be annoying too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to narrow this and have a shot, they need to contain everyone else, and just force Westbrook into traps. Hell, they have to practice against Rose...do whatever they do there.

Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This would have been a great game if the Bulls were healthy. I still expect them to start hitting a few more of those open looks at some poitn and close in a bit, but man, this would be heavyweights if the MVP were here.

The lack of Rose really hurts more than it shows when its 2 teams like this. The Thunder got out ahead early and then pushed their advantage.

Jenksismyhero Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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.

If you want to feel better about this POV, they're clearly doing exactly this with Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont like it with Hamilton. The guy has played 14 games all season, it is do or die time now. He needs to get on the court and get back in a rhythm, time to take the kid gloves off. If he gets injured again, so be it, it wasnt meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Yeah I have a feeling regardless of what they do with both Rose and Hamilton one awkward hop step and the season is over for the Bulls.

If he gets injured again, so be it, it wasnt meant to be. He said "Soreness but good soreness", a very Peavy-like statement, after a full-contact practice on Saturday. An extra 2-3 games won't be the end of the season for him if they wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
