We have 10 guys on the roster, our bench is horrible beyond Gibson and Dunleavy. Honestly though I would have thrown Snell in there and rested Deng during that stretch.

It's the bench we have, and will be stuck with. The Bulls signed guys they like, drafted guys they like. They have to develop them on the floor, even if it's not development as individuals, it's about developing better floor chemistry.

Bottom line, 20 point lead, you find ways to rest guys, especially the injury prone players.

Bulls can beat the snot out of the Heat from time to time. Problem is they can't maintain that level of intensity against the Heat over a 7 game series. It's physically draining, and the Heat will always chip away at the Bulls.

Having said that, health has always been crucial for the Heat. Without Wade, the Heat are pretty average. Bosh isn't a superstar in the NBA anymore either.

Lol if we get the 8th seed and have to face the Heat in the first round.

If we want to make this interesting at all. We need the Pistons to make it into the 8th seed and face the Heat.

At the moment that would be the Pacers, not the Heat. A you implying they stumble?

That could very well be how it winds up, but we haven't even finished a half of a season. Momma would have had to drop me on the head a few times, for me to imply the seeds now are close to representative of what happens in the end. Much like if someone were to predict the current #1 seed is the automatic NBA champion.

True. Call me crazy but I think if we do make playoffs and Rose does comeback, I would rather play Miami in the first round match-up wise while Rose shakes rust off. We would need him at full strength to take on Indiana. Reason is we need Derrick's penetration to draw Hibbert and West away from Boozer and Noah. Booze usually disappears against the Pacers but our size is an advantage vs Miami. This year may be the best time to catch Miami early in the playoffs. They have had a tendency to get stronger the deeper they get.

Just because we beat the Heat doesn't necessarily mean we'll be in the playoffs...but if we're going to be winning games, I don't mind them being against the Heat.

This was the Bulls largest win over the Heat (in the big three era) since Game 1 of the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals .

Can't wait to get Jimmy Butler back, might as well compete and see how far this team can go!

Great Win!

this team isnt going anywhere....its better for our future to suck as much as we can this year to get a high draft pick

i know wanting your team to suck is a bad look as a fan...but taking the future into consideration it makes the most sense
