Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

Noah has yet to begin running and merely has been riding a stationary bicycle for conditioning.

 

"He pedaled really well," Kyle Korver deadpanned.

 

[SouthSideRyan]

Come on, a limping Noah? Sit him tonight, hope there's a game 6 for him to be 100%ish

 

Agreed. I don't see the point in trying to rush him back tonight.

 

The point would be that if they lose tonight, he has all offseason to heal the sprain. I'm not suggesting playing him for 40 minutes, but if there are times where he can make an impact on the offensive or defensive end, and he's not blocking anyone else from playing, I think you suit him up if he says he can go.

 

Or he re-injures himself because he's playing when he's still injured, rather than trying to gut out a win without him then having him actually contribute the rest of the way.

There's no need to bring him back tonight, with a solid effort and something from Deng and Hamilton there's no question they'll win tonight. If it comes to game 6, I'd consider playing Noah but, upon re-injury we're looking at no Deng, Rose and Noah to start next season.

[Theo]

I hope he doesn't play. This team needs to be taken to the NBA Vet and "put down".

[Banedon]

Only three teams have gotten to the line as often, per field-goal attempt, as the Sixers in these playoffs. That is a borderline miraculous turnaround, given the Sixers in the regular season posted the lowest free-throw rate in the history of the NBA.

Raise your hand if you're much more excited about watching the Cubs tonight than the Bulls.

 

 

*hand is raised*

Wow

[SpongeWorthy]

Wow we finished a fast break it's a [expletive] miracle

[Theo]

CJ Watson is the bane of my existence

[Derwood]

This game is on a station I don't even get. Sweet, saves me the misery of watching

[Careless]

I can;t help liking JL3 and Taj (one more than the other)

 

God, Boozers hands are almost as bad as Asik's

[Wilson A2000]

There was more fight in that scrum than the Bulls showed in games 2-4. Brand did throw the first elbow right at Gibson's groin.

[WrigleyField 22]

What a halftime score...

God damn it Watson

[Careless]

Oh FFS. [expletive]. [expletive]. [expletive].

[ChiCubsFan]

Only us. Fire the training staff immediately.

 

Although I will say that Taj looked exhausted the last few minutes, which can obviously contribute to an injury like that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Only us. Fire the training staff immediately.

 

Hahahahah!

[Theo]

Well the training staff should lose their jobs for letting Noah back in. Also time to switch to Nikes

[ChiCubsFan]

Only us. Fire the training staff immediately.

 

Hahahahah!

If they win this they might as well win the series because a win would give me hope and losing in a game 6 or 7 would be disappointing where I was just accepting the inevitable loss tonight.

You really thought they were going to lose tonight? I thought they had a good shot to win tonight and if they win game 6, they'll probably win game 7. I just think game 6 is going to be a tough one to win. Especially if Taj is gimped too.

[ChiCubsFan]

Taj favoring the ankle, but in the game of course.

Bulls are the worst at trying to foul a guy going for an easy basket, seems it is always a foul and the other team still makes the basket
