In case you haven't noticed...we're not exactly healthy either. Rose probably won't be 100% the rest of the season.

We will be healthy at ECFinals.In case you didn't noticed the Bulls are a pretty good team even without Rose or Deng or Rip.We can play well even if one of them is out to rest.So I am sure all the players would be 100% healthy at the playoffs.

Yes, I have noticed them beating alot of BAD teams without Rose, Deng, or Rip. Also the regular season is a different story over the playoffs. The thing is guys are going to play even if not at 100% in the regular season and they are going to risk themselves out there.
Thibs wants to win every game and its evident he'll risk a players health to win a game. For example the last game, up handily in the 4th quarter, all the starters are still in. New Jersey took their starters out pretty much at the beginning of the 4th quarter.
Records don't mean shit unless you win in the postseason. I sure as hell hope the team is healthy. Rose right now is my main concern because the team might win in the 1st round, but there is little chance they win in the second round without him. I highly doubt he'd miss those games though unless he breaks something.

I don't think that Clippers,Lakers,Atlanta,Orlando,Celtics and Memphis are bad teams unless you forget that in ALL this games we played without Rose,Deng or Rip.Even the Cavs were looking so bad because the bulls were much better.
And my main point was that the Heat are not playing so good right now.THIS Miami can't beat THIS Chicago in a 7 game series.I don't know how healthy we will be or how better they will play at the playoffs.
But you are right about this Thibs problem.Someone should say Thibs that it is NECESSARY to rest players for the playoffs.It is the only concern I have.

Very true, but Collison has really looked awful for them this year. Granger and Hibbert have been awesome though. I can see Granger going off tonight. Just hope Rose does as well.

Everyone played against the Lakers and Clippers. Memphis didnt have Randolph beyond the 1st quarter and Conley skipped that game. The Celtics are down and out. The Cavs are a bad team. They are better than last year, but they are still a bad team. The only real quality win I put on the Bulls schedule thus far is against Orlando.
But perhaps we can beat a Miami team without Wade. But Miami had their regular season slump last season too and came out of it in the playoffs. I'd love nothing more than to beat Miami and go the NBA Finals this year, but until they do actually beat Miami, Miami is the favorite.

Granger has been off early his last few games have been better though.
Collison hasn't been terrible he has been ok but he needs a good backup George Hill cant play pg and we play him there at times and it hurts the team.
our PF play has been awful of late Hansbrough needs to hit the weight room when Earl Clark can bully you in the post there is an issue. I wanted Jrue Holiday in that draft drafting Hansbrough I always though was a mistake and a obvious one Hansbrough made no sense. He just isnt very good and has a terrible body for the NBA. He takes terrible shots and shoots the ball like a SG chucker in terms of fg% not what you want in a PF.
We have had a very easy schedule which is the main reason our record is so good. We havent been playing good outside of Hibbert.

Being #1 doesn't mean anything.It is just the most possible team to win the championship.If we were #1 last year it wasn't a bad prediction.We were not that far from the finals last year.Why so pessimist?The Bulls,despite all injuries,have the best record so far with the toughest schedule by far.

Cause I dont like being disappointed and this works better for me anyawys. That way if Miami loses, I"m happy, if the Bulls lose, well I won't be surprised. Miami is a classic case of the "regular season dont mean jack". Which is why you shouldn't underestimate them. Meanwhile the Bulls put all their stock in the regular season and then run out of gas in the post season.
Mind you, you have to put up with Wade and LeBron going to the FT line 40 tiems a game. LeBron and Bosh flopping as well. They'll do anything possible to get their way.

What is Nike doing with these Kobe commercials? Go back to ballers playing ball. His new commercials are trash.

Noah can't guard Hibbert. He's a monster down low.
