Somewhat surprising Lou Canellis on DRose sitting out on Monday. I totally agree.

 

“I’ll never question a player who says he’s hurt, but sore! Everyone at the end of a seven-game road trip has general soreness. Rose’s teammates needed him last night. No Butler, no Noah, no Mirotic and desperate for a win. Sore, smarting or sick—this team needed it’s hottest player. They’re free-falling right out of the playoff picture. The Bulls had no shot without Rose, and they knew it. They were defeated at the tip, giving up 38 first-quarter points to a below-five-hundred team.

 

“Defense is about effort, not talent. So quit making excuses for Rose. He should have been out there.”

 

Everyone seems to forget that Derrick used to play through everything. Then he got hurt.

 

He got mind-f***ed by those injuries.

Agreed. I'm sure any number of us have been injured doing an activity and have struggled to return to doing the activity again.

Pop does it, he is a freaking genius...

In one of the promos he did for Adidas after his first injury, he famously said he'll die on the court for basketball. That's D Rose in his previous life.

The Bulls like a team ready for the all star break tonight.

Fred or Vinny? Death not an option.

Brad Stevens?

Which sucks. This draft doesn't project to be very deep. Unlike last year when studs like Winslow, Turner, Lyles and Booker all went 10th or later.

I wonder what ARod is doing in town.

They'll make the playoffs. I bet they go on a nice little run sometime in March that gets everyone super excited.

IDK. the east is much better (not saying a whole lot, but it's clearly better) than the last few years. We'll see where they're at when Butler gets back.

Taj is hurt. Shocking.

5 losses in a row at home for this championship roster.

5-13 in their last 18 games and 2 of those wins were against teams that barely qualify as NBA teams.

The Bulls also now have a negative point differential on the season.

Fred's post game is about as exciting as a funeral

So I know people love to talk about defense when a team is "underachieving" but its funny to me that the entire focus of the Bulls' players and coaches has been on their defense when their offense has been a far bigger issue all year. They are just a terrible offensive basketball team.

In one of the promos he did for Adidas after his first injury, he famously said he'll die on the court for basketball. That's D Rose in his previous life.

 

I miss that Derrick.

 

Even he couldn't save this team.

They would trade him well before they released him.

Are you on some planet where Derrick Rose still has trade value? The only way you're dealing him is for a worse contract.

yes I am, the planet where other NBA reporters have indicated Rose could be traded. I'm not saying you'd get something for him, but someone would take him off of our hands (especially with where the cap is headed).

Does Gar make it to the deadline. This team is just horrific. There record in there last 18 is just absurd. I read some quotes from Korver on the Bulls and he talked about how Thibs ingrained everything into your brain and the detailed approach, etc, and how it will take the new players more time. But than he talked about our offense and how Thibs used to call every play (like most coaches do) but not with Fred. If Fred was going to do that, he'd need a silky smooth PG like Chris Paul or prime Nash. Otherwise, offenses and teams need coaching. I feel like Fred is afraid to coach, to be frank.

A Bulls team once known for defense gave up at least 100 points to an opponent for the seventh straight game Wednesday.

 

Makes me f***ing sad. This was a team that as a fan you could be so proud of (even when they weren't winning, they were doing everything right). How fast the bandaid is getting ripped. This is just painful and downright embarassing. Gar has to go. The Bulls have to make a statement.

I dont feel like he has the respect he needs to coach a team. Not really sure he will get it, either
