OT: Feel bad for the Chicago Bulls

King_John · Post #1 » by **King_John** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 4:34 pm

I mean two years two years ago they were our biggest rivals with an upcoming star in Rose...I can still remember the intense ECF in 2011 where we beat them in 6...now with Rose out again for a season I think it s a shame that rivalry never really got a chance to develop into more great playoff battles...even if I hate the Bulls fans (because they were always so obnoxious about their team) I hope the franchise can somehow get back to track in the near future

I feel bad for Rose even though he has that prima donna personality, but I never wish injury on anyone. Can care less about the Bulls or it's fans.

Beat them in 5, not 6.

Tough break for Rose, but the fans over there I don't care for.

Also, if Chicago decides to tank, they would probably look to move Noah. I've read their threads and a few trade ideas that've popped up have Noah going to OKC. That would be unpleasant for me as a Heat fan. Or maybe Scott Brooks still screws that whole team up.

Imagine if Thibs wants to walk away from a tank and they do a Doc Rivers style trade of Noah and Thibs to OKC..

Feel sorry for Rose.

Sorry for the Bulls and fans? Don't make me laugh

I don't feel bad for the fans or their organization. Just sucks about Rose. He reminds me of Wade in his younger years and can be fun to watch. As an NBA fan it sucks.

But I don't give a rats ass about the Bulls moving forward. They hate us and we hate them. Life goes on and we gotta get that 3peat.

I dont feel bad for them!

This is the same group that wished injuries to Lebron and wade.

Miss me with this sympathy $hit.

Lol I went on their board and some guy is complaining saying Heat fans are happy Rose is injured. I haven't seen one person happy about Rose's injury, talk about making **** up. We aren't even like that as much as people say Heat fans are the worse. THEY are the ones who always want another team's best player injured (especially LBJ), and karma just bit them in the ass.

I feel bad for Rose and that's it. I remember when they all cheered when LeBron got injured or whatever. I saw one of their mods King something be like what if lebron gets a torn meniscus next season then we have a chance. Lol.

Rose will be back but I fear we might never see the bulls in a ECF again. Injuries robbed the heat as well as the bulls and any NBA fan of great matchups. As far as bulls fans go the majority can go jump off a cliff I can't even count how many times I've read posts from them wishing injury on lebron and wade. Tough luck but that's the price of being a sports fan. Sometimes u root for a team that is fortunate and some times you dont

This is my opinion but just because a select few of a fan base have wish injury on our players it shouldn't mean that we wish any injury on theirs. We'd be no better. This idea that just because they root for another team = they are bad people who deserve it is silly. I feel not only bad for Rose and the bulls fan base but as a fan of the sport myself. I don't watch this game to see us bulldoze through teams, rather for the competition. Rose brought that every night that he did play and that will be missed. I hope he has nothing but a speedy recovery.

I don't feel bad for them at all.

Honestly I don't have any sympathy for that organization, their fans or anything Bulls related what so ever...They could all go :censored:

themselves

This sucks - Rose was so much fun to watch, and I don't know if he'll ever be at that level again. I've shattered my knee before and it is really depressing - can't imagine how it feels when the whole nation is making meme's and sh.it out of you. Also, the East looks absolutely pathetic right now..

I do feel sad for them, two bad injuries without other player contact but this was predictable. Go back to the 2008 draft threads I said Rose is not the better choice because he is fragile and prone to injury. Talented yes but he has has had a history of these injuries since highshcool. Calipari made most people forget but it is what it is.

It never got to develop because The Bulls were never really good enough to begin with.

2011 with Rose...Pulled out 1 win, 4 losses.
2013 without Rose... Pulled out 1 win, 4 losses

There was always going to be some excuse.

Look the injury to Rose is unfortunate and it's awful that his body can't handle his game. Next season he'll have to come back a new player, one that doesn't rely solely on athleticism to thrive...BUT to "feel bad" for the fan base that would literally cum their pants at the thought of Lebron going down with a career-ending injury seems a little soft, and silly.

Pretty sure you can't package players & coaches in the same deal, that was the problem with the Rivers/KG to LA trade, and the league wouldn't even let them do it in 2 parts (1 trade for the coach, 1 swap of players) because it would be 2 trades in form only.
