The Rockets is one of my favorite to watch teams lately. They beat the Thunder on the road. They beat the Lakers and they are fighting hard for a playoff seed. Dragic and Parsons are great players. They won't be an easy opponent. But they are unlucky we lost a game right before this game. We never lose games back to back. lol

WE.NEED.ROSE.BACK.

 

[JosMin]

Well, I'll tell you one thing, I certainly didn't win... because I didn't do the IGT

 

[houheffna]

Haven't seen Kevin Martin in a while, will be nice to watch him play. I thought he would work well with Rose if they had a chance to get him...

 

[JosMin]

This Rockets team is scrappy. They're a game up on the Jazz for the last playoff spot in the West. Should be a tough game if Rose and Rip sit once again.

To Hou -- It looks like Kevin Martin is still going to be sitting out. He's been hurt for about three weeks, a tear in his right shoulder. Hopefully that should make things a bit easier on us. We need to bounce back after that terrible showing yesterday against OKC.

Kevin Martin has been sidelined since March 11 with a tear in the labral of his right shoulder. He's hoping to begin contact drills later this week and soon after a return to the active roster.

"I have to keep getting treatment the next few days," Martin tells the Houston Chronicle. "But I'd like to get some contact this week."

Courtney Lee has been starting at shooting guard and he'll stay in that spot until Martin returns to the lineup.

 

[JosMin]

Also looks like Rose will once again be out. Rip is probably going to be a game-time decision. Thibs says he's raring to go.

game time decision = Out for the season.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

After the loss we should bounce back as usual and get a W. No matter how.

 

[Scoot26]

I likely will only watch this during commercial breaks of the National Championship Game.

 

[Heisenberg]

AH YES YOU BASTARDS. ITS FINALLY HERE! ROCKETS AND BULLS.

sigh

I wanted to talk a little trash but sadly my team sucks.

Oh well. Just don't blow us out by 30.

 

[bbaker]

I really hope we don't take an L to Houston. Sure, OKC, but not Houston.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

Nothing against Heisenberg, but what´s up with so many non-Bulls fans on this forum?

I'll tell you for me, it's all about the Hawks and maybe the Cubs if I can ever convince myself that baseball is cool and fun to watch. All my other teams, I've been a fan of since I was a kid, couldn't ever imagine being a fan of any other teams though I do respect the Bulls and their fans.. at least you guys don't have very many douchebag fans like the Celtics, Lakers and Mavs do.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

Can we swap your pic with this one?

game time decision = Out for the season.

Scamilton's injury listed as season to season.

 

[thechosenone]

hahah Now anyone understand how important is Rose for this team. We are playing AGAINST HOUSTON in our court and we are afraid we won't win this after a L in OKC.

I miss Rose so much. The Bulls are a good team without Rose but it is a different team with him in the court. And damn it its his 11 consecutive game he miss. Is he so seriously injured or sth? Because if he is he won't be the same at the beginning when he returns OR we keep him out on purpose and the guy is training every day privately to keep in a good shape? I don't give a **** about Hamilton. If Rose is so badly injured we are fucked.

 

[bbaker]

Rose will probably sit out until April 15th vs. Detroit. That gives him 15 games to rest w/ 7 games to get back into the swing of things before the playoffs. There's no reason to push him back for the Miami game April 12, unless he's totally fine. I don't want him to play vs. MIA, get re-injured, sit out the remaining games & then come back cold in the playoffs.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

As always before a home game don´t forget to watch the BMO Harris Bank pregame show on BullsTV: BullsTV Live | THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE CHICAGO BULLS

Show starts at 7:30pm

I agree, he would of been a great piece to our team.
Too bad PaxGAr couldn't see that.
I guess he felt that Mike James would be the ultimate piece.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

Rip is in layup lines. Maybe he´ll play tonight!
