With Derrick Rose in and out of the lineup, Bulls are going to be a little tentative and not clicking on all cylinders.

Boston and Magic are totally impossible to catch at this point. You don't make up four games with 6 games to play.

Bring on the Bulls!

And this way we can beat Miami in the ECF! *keeps dreaming*

magic is missing dwight so it is possible for them to drop

It's nearly impossible to catch Orlando at this point. And I think that they're probably going to go on a mini-run without Howard. Even though he's a great player, he's been a huge distraction for them and, shortterm, they're probably going to improve without him.

Whoever we play, we won't win if we don't rebound the ball and make our free throws. If today's game against Miami told me something is that we can beat them, but we need to be healthy and keep our compossure during the whole game. IMO, both Miami and Chicago are dangerous for different reasons. Miami doesn't have a strong bench but any of their big three guns can get on and make life misserable for you. We would've gotten a good lead today over them if it wasn't for Bosh.

Chicago actually seems to play better without Rose because their offense is spread and they don't rely on him for all the shots. Their bench is their winning hand, along with their rebounding.

I want whoever we get in the end. Of course, if I can get to #6, I do it.

I just said this exact same thing on another thread...Nobody gave us a shot in 99..rb, ft, TO's..

TO's are to be expected when your playing against a good defensive team, but the FT's and Rbs thats inexcusable..

Not anymore. They'd have to lose the rest of their games and us winning all but one of our remaining games to get to 6th. It seems we are stuck at 7th or 8th. What is it going to be?

To tell you the truth, Im more worried about being healthy than the opponent. Both Chicago and Miami are a tough task, but if we are healthy, I believe this team can go up against anybody.

We don't ahve an answer for both LeBron and Wade. It would be entertaining, but I don't think we'd get them past a game 6.

I say the Heat, but purely because they're all dinks and I'd love to see Chris Bosh shed turtle tears once more.

The Heat have the 1a and 1b players in the world. But they're so top-heavy, all three of their Big Three have to be productive and efficient or they'll sputter.

I think upsetting the heat and facing the bulls deeper in the playoffs where rose might be even worse then he is now is a possible scenerio for us if things break right

Unfortunately, the only way I see this scenario happening is if the thing that "breaks right" is Wade's ankle.
