Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

[bukie]

Anyways, I have a feeling the Bulls will lose tomorrow. I know they will really want this, but so will Miami, just to shut up the people who think the Bulls are better and can beat Miami in the playoffs.

 

Either way, I hope I don't get too worked up either way as we all saw how much the regular season meant in the playoffs. If we lose to a healthy Heat team in Miami without likely Deng, so be it.

 

From what was being said this week, Deng may play tonight.

Latest word is that Deng likely won't play tonight.

All of Jordan's highlights from the 1996 playoffs. His post game was sick.

 

I don't understand why guards don't utilize the post game more.

I'm seeing Deng/Hamilton as game time decisions in most reports. But then there's this report from a couple of days ago where Deng said he was a week away...so who knows.

Thank you so much for posting this link, imb! I remember watching these games live - so enjoyable. I especially like that Jordan was this unstoppable during an era when teams were actually allowed to play physical defense.

And when he was in his 30s. Some of those dunks were amazing and then I realized he was 10 years older at that time than Kevin durant or rose are currently

Rip is in. Deng is out.

 

Oh yeah and following the theme of the season, a random rotation player is mentioned as out despite no previous knowledge of an injury. CJ Watson will miss the game with a random wrist injury.

 

Seriously, once every 2 or 3 games, an hour before the game a random injury will come up and cause a Bull to miss a game.

[UMFan83]

Can someone break out the Dusty Dice, and change one die to the name of Bulls players, and the other to the names of random body parts?

They're not winning this game with Rose in foul trouble and Watson out. And, of course, Deng out.

[Magnetic Curses]

this is national tv on sunday you mother [expletive], people want to see derrick rose. you don't call ticky-tack fouls on him to sit him down.

[CubInOK]

Does missing Deng mean that much? Because this isn't pretty so far.

[bcl412]

Why does LeBron have to be an ass on every dunk? You dunked on John Lucas. Impressive.

[bcl412]

Yes.

[Magnetic Curses]

they need to find out a way to get corey brewer if deng is going to be out for an extended period of time. i don't think it would take much.

[Flames24Rulz]

That flop by Battier was criminal.

[bcl412]

Noah's fired up.

 

And Rose was fouled on that layup and I think it was more of a foul than Rose's second foul. Annoying.

Eddy Curry is still in the league?

[SpongeWorthy]

JVG's right, we never play zone.

I've never seen it under Thibs.

[Magnetic Curses]

nice to see rose get vocal with the refs. thibs should also never stop talking to them about him.

[Flames24Rulz]

It's nice to actually have a legitimate SG this year. Amazing how that went unaddressed the entire season last year.

[Magnetic Curses]

i'd like to see omer guard the golem

[Magnetic Curses]

i've always hated that haslem [expletive]

[Magnetic Curses]

cole gets the foul but rose doesn't.

[Flames24Rulz]

Just like the playoff series, their second unit is somehow outplaying the Bulls second unit.

[bcl412]

The Bulls defense hasn't been good since Deng got hurt. We definitely need him back and it's hard to get too worked up about us struggling against the Heat without him.
