Wizards lose, Bulls 3rd seed.

[czman]

If the Bulls can go into the all-star break in the 3rd seed that would be great considering how they played the last few weeks. It is really nice that the Wizards are faltering right now. The Cavaliers and Raptors are rolling so having the 3rd seed is a wonderful thing.

I really hope the Cavs and Wiz meet in the first round. That would make me very happy.

 

[Bear Pride]

Hopefully we get to enjoy it for more than 1 day, cuz a loss tonight puts us all the way down to the 5th seed going into the AS game. :dunno:

 

[Scoot26]

Not that it entirely matters at this point as there is plenty of season left.

Would really like a win tonight as if we lose we're down 0-3 to Cleveland in the regular season. And we will probably have not been healthy at all for any of those games.

But yes ideally it'll be best to keep Cleveland off our tail and Washington as well and keep that #3 seed.

It's weird, the Bulls never seem to have the full squad when they play a LJ team. I can't ever remember playing the Heat or the Cavs with our whole team. A win tonight could be a huge statement for the Bulls going into the AS game, and could be the spark they need for the 2nd half.

Really? I remember plenty of times from 2011-2012. In recent years, yes that's been true.

Well, I wasn't being quite that literal, but as long as you're showing off your memory, could you cite some examples of that season for me? :shrug:

I don't remember any major injuries against the Heat for most of our series against them minus the Asik injury at the end of the series. Rose, Bogans, Deng, Boozer, and Noah started every game I believe. Then we had our bench mob guys in every game too (minus Asik for the last game). I could have poor memory though, but that's what I remember.

Well covers two years..

In 2010-11 they were at full strength in the 2nd and 3rd game (Noah missed the first game) In the playoffs everyone played until Asik got injured in Game 4. starters played all 5 games of that series though..

In 2011-12 Deng missed the first game, Rose missed the second game, Rose was a piece of shit the 3rd game, but played as did everyone else, and Rose missed the fourth game.

In 2013-14, the first game of the year, everyone played.

So actually upon further review, they were mainly just healthy the first year.

 

[JimJohnson]

Cleveland will likely end up as a 2 or 3 seed and I'd rather the Bulls not have to play them in the 2nd round

Funny how I conveniently forget that series. :lol: I do remember being tired and pretty beat that series, however. Either way, it's been a long time.

We were beat in the sense that they kicked our butts in games 2-5. As far as freshness goes, they looked fine.

I remember studying the playoff bracket last year every way imaginable, and I concluded, looking at who other teams were to play, that I wanted a 1st round matchup against Washington. I think I'll let the chips fall where they fall this year and hope to be healthy and clicking on all cylinders this year. :dunno:

OK, you win, sheesh. It was 3 years ago. :dunno:

 

[Axl Rose]

yeah 2011 was the last time we played Bron at full strength

that was 4 years ago

never thought about that

Technically not. 10/29/13 was.. I don't care if it was Rose's first game back from his ACL injury.

 

[Axl Rose]

fair enough i suppose

that game was awful from the opening...Rose stripped by Chalmers....i knew it was gonna be a shitastic game

Did we lose by 20?

12... we made a 4th quarter run lol.

Also the Bulls were at full strength in the home April 2012 game.. The one where Rose shot 1/17.

i didn't count the games Rose was coming off injury because i wouldn't consider that full strength

i don't really care to be honest tho...just thought it was funny how it was sorta true that we never seem to be healthy vs Bron....but on the flip when are we ever healthy at all?
