The Bull will never lose another game.
After Rose broke both his knees, I gave up on the hope that we'd make it to the NBA Finals again. It will probably be decades before we see another championship. Hello Treadmill, here we come.

It's the shoes!

Guess the team decided to tune back into Thibs. Or we really didn't need Noah or Mr Glue Mike Dunleavy afterall? Or, that Spurs were a good match-up for us? :roll:

Amazing what happens when you drop the excuses and play hard.

Bulls finally put together a complete game. Derrick Rose set the tone tonight with his aggression and just making things happen for the offense. Also he had some pep on defense. Derrick has looked so much better this year on a few days rest. He is off his minutes limit, hopefully he won't look deflated now tomorrow.

Really surprised Pop didn't attack us with pick and roll far more, that has been our achilles. Spurs went with their usual sharing and passing but we were much sharper on our assignments and rotations.

Kirk and Snell continue to be problem areas for this team if they are playing big minutes. But Snell turned around a slow start and played pretty well the rest of the game. Yet he hasn't been close to consistent this year, so hard to say what if it means anything long term for him.

Brooks and Rose together make us much harder to guard, if we can live with it on defense.

Butler with a tought night in foul trouble, but still managed to contribute.

Thought Taj played with animalistic fury.

Now we need to get Noah and Mike back hopefully for Dallas and try to build on this one

After an exhausting last few weeks for Bulls fans, this one was needed.

Therapeutic win.

Definitely a good win and was seriously needed to stop the bleeding. Not ready to scream on the rooftops we back, but hopefully this will be a consistent thing going forward.

I'm not sure what was better, Rose or the defense. Both were phenomenal. Tonight was vintage Bulls. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come.

That was the most articulate postgame I have heard from Rose.

Good game. Tomorrow we get Dunleavy back, so that's nice.

We know we can play at this level and have championship upside. The challenge now is to start doing this consistently, night in and night out with this type of effort defensively and on the boards.
