hoping for the Best for Drose.
At the same this team needs to refocus and not worry too much.

This injury cant effect these guys too much.. They still need to come back and win to give rose any chance of coming back this year..

Meanwhile in Miami, the refs continue to fucking help the Heat. Seriously, the phantom first QTR calls and a horseshit F1 on Chandler is just enough to make you realize this league is still rigged.

You read my mind.

This team beat Miami without Derrick Rose, and with Rose's worst output ever.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy without him, I'm saying its realistic the Bulls can win without Rose.
The regular season doesn't mean anything in the playoffs.

And if this is serious Thibs has great responsibility for this.

Thibs just lost COY in my book. Fool.

There's NO excuse for the starters to be on the floor with less than two minutes remaining in a PLAYOFF game and a double digit lead. I really thought Thibs knew that.

Nope, Thibs thinks teams can come back from 20 down in less than 2 minutes.

14 point game with 2 minutes remaining. He should have all the starters in the bench. Especially Rose and Deng.
Not sure it matters how much time was left, or what the score was. Philly was making a small run towards the end. You want them thinking they have life in the series? Or would you prefer they be deflated and have ended this series quickly?

Oh course it does. We swept the Heat last regular season, had the best record and thats why we beat them in the playoffs and won the nba title...oh wait

Holy shit what?

I never said the Bulls could beat Miami without Rose in the playoffs. I said this team can beat Miami with everyone playing.

Don't start trolling

And if the Bulls blow the lead, people would be the first to blame Thibodeau for packing it in too early.
Exactly. Brand and Iggy said something to the effect of, "it's the playoffs, you want to make sure you have that first win."

And t-young said you hate to see a player get hurt, especially when he prob should have been on the bench, hence game was in the bag.

Thaddeus Young is now our authority on minutes played in an NBA playoff game?

Both Magic and Barry said on the halftime show that he should have been out there.

Thanks. I will.

My point, as it stands: It's the fucking playoffs. You put your foot to the throat of your opponent. We already know how banged up this team is already. Take all hope away from these guys and end this series quickly. Taking Rose out at that point in the game is fine in Game 4 when you're ready to dispatch of these guys.

I'll through my 2 cents into this...

Rose should have been taken out of the game. No reason for him to be in, up 12 with just over a minute left in the game. Thibs made a coaching mistake.

IDC if "leads vanish" quick in the playoffs. You say you have the best bench in Basketball, then you should be able to hold a 12 point lead with them in the game with just a bout a minute left. Watson is more then capable of playing PG for that minute.

Thibs screwed up.

Once again, look at my post about foot to throat and explain to me how that makes any sense in a game one in the first series, when we blew out the Heat in game 1 last year and Rose also got injured in a pointless possession in a loss vs the pacers.

Its well documented that Thibs runs these guys into the ground and in this kind of season, it makes it even worse. Good thing we got that overall #1 seed. Im sure we'll go far without our best player/leader/only hope.

Try hards....

Christ, would you have been happier if it happened on the opening tip? Or would we be saying the same things as we are now?

It fucking happens. Could have happened at anytime during the second game. Would people be questioning Thibs then?

Once again, look at everything I've been saying. You even agreed with me earlier in this thread about how the regular season doesn't count anymore. If this were Game 47 of the regular season, I'd be in full agreement with you. But you'd rather the Bulls build up a 20 point lead, only to let the Sixers make the score look respectable....and have them bring that into Game 2.

Not me. Nobody should be playing Thibs for a freak occurrence where an injury happened due to no contact.

Better yet, why the **** isn't anybody blaming Rose for making a move to the basket like that? If we're gonna play the 'we were up by x with x left on the clock,' why isn't Rose passing the ball around to eat up time off the clock?
