PG: Where Injuries in Meaningless Games Happen

Take the finger off the panic button kids. :lol:

Anyways, a somewhat meaningless win without Stoudamire suiting up. I'm pretty proud of the Bulls though. Most teams would skate at this point.

Boozer was soft on offense tonight, but a beast on the boards. Noah was looking good, even if his stats didn't show it.

Rose and Deng were Rose and Deng.

Bogans once again breaks the 6 point barrier and delivers us a win.

Man, the Bulls complete the sweep of the entire league and it's all negative in here. Brewer will be fine.

I'm still thinking about that Rose dunk. The first one that is.

Go Lakers!

IMO, Boston should beat New York in 5 or 6.

Boozer was terrible offensively. The only thing he did was rebound. Noah sucked. Rose played well, and so did Deng. Defense was alot better in the 2nd half. Now I'd probably rest all of our starters tomorrow against the Nets and get ready for the playoffs.

I don't know who finished worse around the basket, Boozer or Asik. And yes, I am complaining after our 61st win of the season.

Despite the minor injuries suffered tonight I completely agree with what Thibs is doing. Keep the momentum going.

On another note it seems like Derrick can't buy an assist sometimes. Countless missed open J's off of his passes and our bigs losing the handle and/or not finishing inside.

Boozer's shooting is not working.

He padded his rebound numbers by taking some away from Noah and Taj. That's what caused a few of those contested rebounds to go out of bounds.

Solid defense in the second half.

Overall good win to move forward. On to hoping for a Lakers win!

Man, Rose would have had like 10-12 assists if guys could make some layups.

Thibs is a maniac. I understand that this team is young. It'd be one thing if we didn't have a few injury prone key players who are dealing with nagging injuries. But we do. They should be sitting.

And with the beating Rose's body has taken all year, I wouldn't mind seeing him get a breather either.

Two games (one now) aren't going to help anybody get any rhythm. At least the rest adds up with the off days to allow injuries to heal.

Booze had to have the most hollow 22 rebounds ever. Knicks don't even fight for their misses.

Carlos and Noah both sure have been fumbling a lot of balls lately. It's like they are wearing mittens out there.

Injuries happen when players play afraid to get injured. Just play hard.

I wasn't worried about the outcome of this game for an instant. This is what this team's done to me.

we gotta start playing d for all 4 quarters again. it makes me wanna puke watching us play no d until we're down.

hope brewer/noah injuries aren't serious. lets close out the season tomorrow on a strong note and get rested for the playoffs. LETS GO BULLS!

blumeany · Post #36 » by **blumeany** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 2:49 am

Remember when people said the Bulls couldn't win on the road? :lol:

DaBulls82 · Post #37 » by **DaBulls82** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 2:49 am

Bulls have now beaten every team in the NBA at least once, won 8 in a row, as well as 15 of their last 18 road games.

61 games - 20 loses - after starting of 9-8. I know we didn't play our best ball - but as someone who grew up watching the dynasty - I'm going to enjoy these wins no matter what. This team has had a VERY special year.

Rose, Booze and Deng should have been pulled with 2 min left but I don't disagree with playing everybody. We are on a roll, the last thing we need is to take a break and lose momentum. Can't be a bad thing to enter the playoffs on a 9 game win streak.

BullsCroatia · Post #39 » by **BullsCroatia** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 2:49 am

Deng had a quietly amazing game. He missed that open layup, but other than that(and some mistakes on D) played really well.

Rose was right, Deng is MR. consistency on this team.

I think the Spurs have a better chance than people think out West.

Not sure why everyone is crowning the Lakers when they've looked like such crap recently.
