Bulls are still clearly superior. Wall is a good player but he doesn't really scare me when he's on the court....I'm never afraid of him as a bulls fan. It also helps that the bulls seem to have the wizards and raptors number. The wizards are just good bum slayers to me feasting on lower teams.

how are you clearly superior and how do you have our number when we beat you guys last year? You have our number because of one game this year?

Yeah, you beat us when we had no Gasol, Mirotic, Rose, MIP/MVP/DPOTY candidate Jimmy Butler, and no healthy Noah.

As for you saying the Bulls are playing playoff basketball...If we were playing playoff basketball and working hard every game we wouldn't have just lost to the Jazz by 20 at home.

I don't think he's trolling but just misinformed. If you think the Bulls are actually playing playoff basketball right now then you are dead wrong.

And the Bulls overachieved the past two years sans-Rose. They got to the 2nd round in year 1 (which is a freaking amazing feat) and got smoked by just the more talented team last year. That's literally the only assessment you can make. They had Kirk **** Hinrich as their starting PG and relied on bench guys to pull it off. Did anyone seriously think that those teams could make a deep run in the playoffs? (I did since I'm a blind homer :wink:

)

Let's keep spewing out crap for fun. What has the Wizards done other than take advantage of an injured bulls team and a pacers team spiraling into Dysthymia :wink:

I fail to see how is it useful to bring up last year's series at all.

Let's just enjoy the game.

The Bulls didn't get smoked by Miami; they lost a very competitive series. People make too much of the number of games.

C'mon....Joakim was hurt in that series and look at how he is playing after 6 months of recovery. He was the Bulls best player last year. And, Bulls had Boozer starting...DJ, Kirk backcourt.

The point is the Wizards are a pretty good team and Wall is an all-star. But, his ability was showcased in the last game against the Bulls. He is good in transition, quick, finishes well at the rim.

But, good defenses can guard him and his array of moves like floaters, jumpshots are limited. Off-course, I am typing all this when Derrick has been terrible on offense.

Thats not true. What you saw last game was a team who was in a lil funk and a guy who was still a lil hesitant to go at Rose who was one of Wall's last hurdles in terms oof individual. This is his 1st year where he really rose to the challenge of every great guard and I think that run at the end against Rose was like the last thinng. I dont think he will back down again but either way, to judge him off of one game is stupid.

We are a slow halfcourt team so IDK why you guys act like all we do is run or Wall is non existant. He's the #1 rated defenive pg, 1st in ast, 2nd in steals, fg% up to 46% and yet he's only good in transition? No

What Wall is still trying to figure out Rose? He is in his 5th year. Rose in Dec 2014 is to NBA basketball like a grandpa trying to go to college after 50 years. Wall should have been dominated Derrick and I think the Wizards game was the 2nd game of a B2B game.

Bulls didn't get smoked in that series yes we loss a series 4-1 but exception of game one the entire series was competitive and Bulls couldn't close out the game come in the 4th quarter.

As a Bulls fan, i would say the Bulls are a bit better right now, but that doesn't mean anything. Both of these teams have something to prove to the rest of the league. Talking about going to a conference final 4 years ago is embarrassing.

The 2011 team wasn't even championship caliber. I can actually see this team on ABC primetime come June.

Oh, and I think the 2012 team could have taken Miami to seven games.

You can say that about almost every good team in the NBA every year. You are basically saying that only teams that have won a championship can win them again.

Before Dallas won the championship you could have made the same exact statement. You obviously can't prove to be a champion before you win a championship.

The question is: will Rose finally show up?

All I know, is that the Bulls better come out with some energy tonight, and get this win!!!!

i dont know who you beat, but you didnt beat healty bulls like...never

no disrespect to Bulls fans because alot of you are really cool but you do act like you are Lebron's Heat or KG's C's. The fact is the Bulls have just as much to prove as any other team. You guys always act like you are the team to beat because of great regular season records but you havent done anything special in the playoffs. Most people, including bulls fans are coming to the conclusion that you are just a regular season team who plays harder then everyone else and lose in the playoffs because you dont have another gear. You are playing playoff ball right now

What part of "you didn't beat a healthy Bulls team" do you not understand?

Man just look at that roster you beat last year, Noah and Butler are the only starters, everyone else were role players/scrubs.

Y'know, I really can't blame him for that. To me, that shows that he's really trying to take his career and health seriously, almost to a fault. Now he just has to play some better defense, lol.

This is the same organization/fan base that wore shirts and CELEBRATED getting to the 2nd ROUND.

Stop wasting your time with these dudes.

We like the wiz but you guys aren't on the level yet. i thought you would if Beal made the leap, but fortunately, he did not and NENE regressed as well.

You beat a Bulls team last year...not this Bulls team. Now go back to your own board.

As for tonight- This could be a ECF preview and all eyes will be on Rose vs Wall.
This game could mean Home Court in April.

Rose is 5-0 vs Wall.

Wall is leading the ECF G in ASG votes, almost doubling up Derrick who is behind his own teammate in Butler.

If he's not looking to send a message tonight with something like a triple dub, I'd be surprised.

the fact that Derrick skipped the White House trip and said "this is a business trip" could be a good thing.
