Get Boozer off this [expletive] team

[DivineBovine]

So maybe after they lose in 5 we can stop hearing this idiocy about how DRose is overrated and how he's not that valuable.

[expletive] refs.

Nice 4 point swing on a horrible no call

[bcl412]

Depression....

[Rex Buckingham]

That no-call on Boozer was absolutely ridiculous... And Hubie Brown acting like it was a clean block even after seeing the replay was an even bigger joke

[SpongeWorthy]

Never seen a season unravel like this

[bcl412]

All that time spent watching from X-mas on seems a bit wasted.

Congrats Philly you just barely beat a team without their two best players their 3rd with a mangled wrist. Go crazy!

[USSoccer]

UC is going to be a morgue on Tuesday

 

Be real...the UC is a perpetual morgue. Chicago crowds in general are terrible for big games.

And we wouldn't have done the same thing if the Bulls beat Boston without KG a couple years ago? Come on.

Can you blame him for being bitter though? I am.

I was going to add this to my post but decided against.

 

(I realize with the situation reversed we'd be doing the same thing, but it's still annoying)

Indy fans blowing up my feed with posts yukking it up about the Bulls as if their team wouldn't be an Anthony Davis contender if Granger, Hibbert and Collison/George/whoever were in the same spots as Rose, Noah and Deng is making it very difficult for me to root for the Pacers to beat Miami.

There were plenty of dead Hawks crowds the past few years including the Cup run....the 2008 NLDS crowds were complete embarrassments. You'd have to go back to 2003 to really hear an electric Cubs crowd (the crowd during the night game part of the doubleheader against St.Louis stands out for some reason in my mind). I assume Sox crowds are terrible because I don't know any better and their fanbase is crap.

 

The past few good crowds for big games I can think of would have been the NFC title game against Green Bay (constant noise despite Culter going down and Collins being a joke) and a conference semifinal game the Fire had a couple years ago (complete chaos, smokebombs, flares and players going into the crowd).

 

Chicago crowds in big games kinda suck because the crowds tighten up at the first sign of adversity (Cubs), are mostly corporate (Bulls) or have the hardcore fans dispersed amongst the corporate (Hawks), or have a nebulous and inconsistent fanbase (Fire).

 

The UC crowd will tighten up the first time Philly makes a run.

Comical the big stiff, Hawes, talking like they're higher seed and are going win Tuesday. Face it big stiff you were only a factor because Noah went down. Speaking of useless players how useless has RIP been? Anything from that POS and the Bulls probably take one if not the last two games.

Him being the Bulls' grand plan to get Rose some help was a stupid idea from the get go that has only gotten dumber as the year has progressed. To his credit, that big 3 in Game 3 ought to have been the dagger, but he hasn't done nearly enough to warrant the role he was given.

Yeah, Hubie Brown was hilarious there.

False, it will be a funeral atmosphere from the moment the game starts until the very end. I think most fans attending that game will feel like they are going to a funeral.

This NBA season sucks (at least on the Eastern side). Not having 2 superstars play in the playoffs when their teams are competing isn't very fun. Aside from watching the Bulls without Rose, and realizing how awful that is. I was looking forward to seeing what Orlando could do if Dwight was healthy. I was going to pick them to make a run in the East.

 

I guess the West is still interesting.

How much of this is the Bulls taking the brunt of the fallout for the NBA/Union fight months earlier? That schedule can't have helped, with less time to recover in between games.

I never understood that. Yes Rose was a key player for a title contender, but its not like the Bulls were heavy favorites to win the title. The Bulls wouldnt have even been favored going into the ECF.
