We are currently on an 8 game winning streak! Like I said after the Orlando game on Sunday - Good teams can win playing bad!

That and the fact that we're clearly not ratcheting up the intensity. And, like you said, on an 8 game winning streak.

This team has consistently shown it can turn it up several notches against the better teams, and clearly flipped that switch as recently as Thursday. Why look for reasons to doubt them?

It's insane. Double digit wins and people are complaining about how individual guys need to turn it up a notch.

For example, it's been talked about ad nauseum that both Noah's and Boozer's numbers take a hit individually when they play together... how do our team stats and our W-L look in those games, though?

Six pages into the PG thread and no one's posted Rose's dunks? Pathetic.

We'll need him, too, since that size is a major help against orlando.

No biggie. That's why we have Big Sexy. Plus he only plays 10 minutes when everyone is healthy..... Did I just use the same argument as the Bogans supporters?

I think Thibs really believes that confidence is the most important thing for his team. I am not upset about him pushing his guys. Other teams think resting their players for a week is a good idea going into the playoffs. I think this is ridiculous, you totally screw up everyone's rhythm. The Bulls, especially Derrick, are a rhythm team. The Bulls need to get everyone together playing well to prime them for a long playoff run, especially considering they have not played much together this year.

That said, Noah checking into the game was bizarre at the end.

Remember the first game after the All-Star break?

Play the starters all the way.

thank god we dont have to face them in a 7 game series. it would literally be a board war between knicks and bulls fans. lots of suspensions and bans

We'd wax that ass anyway.

They are probably working on it right now.

But how bad would that have been if he hurt himself?

Has he really? We've been bitching about this all season. Deng's gotten no rest all season, and he's fine. As a matter of fact this has been by far his most injury free season.

So maybe Thibs has a method to his madness.

It was as meaningless as it gets.

How?? The Spurs have a REAL legitimate chance at the finals. AND SO DO WE! Therefore, we would be in a better position to win if we have home court. As meaningless as it gets?! Hardly.....

Something about when he played basketball he did it in 5 feet of snow both ways or something.

I like the two-handed dunks by Rose: conservative enough that they'll go in, flashy enough to wow the crowd. I'd like to see him do a 360 two-handed windmill/tomahawk dunk once in a game.
