Both Rose and Deng looked like Rose and Deng on the drive.

I'm not used to this good of a start by the Bulls. It's making me nervous.

Good start for the Bulls.

Rose isn't quite there yet, but this is an incredibly crisp early offense in the half court for the Bulls.

Anytime Noah wants to stay on Brand that would be cool.

I think he just wanted to make sure Brand was ready to get out of the way on that thing.

lol

 

I meant on defense, he kept leaving Brand to help and Brand seemingly was Phillys best option at the time.

good lord rose is really pressing

He's baaaack

Is it possible rose doesn't take the last shot at the end of every quarter?

Yeah, this is a sweep all the way. This Philly team just does not have the offensive firepower to even make the Bulls sweat. Worst team in the playoffs, easily.

 

Edit: forgot about the Howard-less Magic. So second worst team.

Wanting to take Hawes over Noah was possibly the poorest judgement of my entire life. Thank God that worked out for us.

I wanted yi so only saved by him being taken before us.

I hope you're right about the sweep (would love the extra rest) but I could see Philly getting one in their house.

Deng still in? Come on Thibs!!

Well that isn't good

Oh jebus come on

When the game is out of reach why the f*** is Rose even in?

Why does thibs always leave starters in for garbage time, it's his one big flaw and something people have been complaining about for 2 seasons.

That should eliminate Thibs from COTY contention.

We are f***ed

heres what little about this i know - when rose came down, his knee bent medially - could be a sprain of the MCL or more worriesome - could be the ACL....

 

while examining Rose, the last thing the trainer did was test roses knee for an ACL tear - what is known as the anterior drawer sign ....hard for me to say if the test was positive without actually being the one examining the knee, but looked to me like there was a bit of laxity on exam, and the fact that it was the last thing the trainer checked before they got Rose off the court, not a good sign

 

obviously ptatc will know much more about this than I do

If a hard jumpstep is all it takes to ruin him, this injury was inevitable.

And he still leaves rest of starters in. Quit being dumb and if game out of hand get guys on the bench

I really was okay with letting Derrick get as much time to get his rhythm back as possible. This just sucks, but obviously it had no impetus. He was either a ticking time bomb or this was a fluke.
