I have no sympathy. Bucks have been hit harder the last decade.


Boozer and Noah last year. Deng and, of course, Rose this year. Now Noah (though it barely matters at this point). Rose next year. That's brutal for a team that had legitimate title chances.

LOL. I was going to edit my post to include a new first sentence stating, "But we are irrelevant" but you beat me to the punch.

Meh. We had a exciting rookie get paralyzed (TJ) then our two highest paid guys at the time miss entire seasons in Redd and Bobby. Redd missed three seasons and his career went in the garbage with a blown ACL. CV missed loads of games. Then Bogut basically missed the last four years and had his career trajectory altered by the fall.

I get it that people want to mock 8th seed but if those guys stay healthy things aren't that bad around these parts in recent years. Doesn't excuse our poor GM work but the injury front has been worse than the Bulls IMO.

They had Jordan and all of those rings from that era. No sympathy for that team at all.

I have sympathy for the players involved though, especially rose.

I have no sympathy for the Bulls at all, but if we had no injuries the past 10 years do we even make it to the ECF? I'd lean towards no.

I mean, sure, I can understand feeling bad for Rose and Noah -- injuries can be career altering. But, do I feel sympathetic for the Chicago Bulls? Not a chance. My most embarrassing moment as a Bucks fan was watching the Chicago take over the Bradley Center earlier this season.

That's my second time seeing him trying to run a fast break resulting in him turning it over without even looking to pass to a better ball handler.
