Bulls @ Hornets 3/13, 6:00 PM on WPWR, SPSO

What are you talking about? The Wizards already fell apart, they were hot garbage for about 2 straight months, and that's without any major injuries.

Yes they have, but they are coming back now. They're a good team and their slump won't last forever.

i doubt anyone that thinks team without Jimmy, Rose and Taj is good.

Surely you jest. Post after post ripping Thibs for not winning. Come on now, have you not been on these boards?

Let me reiterate -

1) Brooks is terrific, I got ripped last game for not saying otherwise
2) Tony Snell is next year's starter (that is common)
3) MDJ is the difference for this team (written all January on this board)
4) Pau is terrific (mostly true there)
5) Jo is great (ummm .... no)
6) Niko is an upcoming star (mostly true that)

We should win by 15.

We should beat teams like the Pacers and Hornets.

Brooks is fine as a backup in short spurts, but can be trouble as a big minute starter. Tony could start next year depending on his development. MDJ 3 point shooting was a difference for this team, then Snell started knocking down the shot which made a difference and negated the loss of Mdj's floor spacing.

Your 4th and 6th one are true as in Pau has terrific and Niko has a ton of potential.

You're only correct on Jo and I see very few people really saying he's back or anything like that.

We could be 2 games behind and that would be impossible to make up.

But we won't. Toronto is falling apart, Washington heads out West.

Toronto easily beating Miami today. Wizards won 4 of their last 6. Those are two good teams. They won't fall apart.

Toronto's lost 9 of 10 games, but they're a "good" team? Wiz are 14-18 on the road. They aren't running away from anyone.

But the Bulls slump WILL last forever, right?

Yes, Toronto is a good team that went though a slump. Same for the Wizards.

Bulls are not in a slump. Bulls are injured and don't have enough right now. When Butler comes back, we'll be back to normal. The question is whether that will be soon enough.

Toronto's STILL IN a slump. Washington has still lost 6 out of their last 10 and are headed out West next week. Let's check the standing April 1. Better yet, let's check the standings when the playoffs start. Pretty sure Bulls won't slip down to #5.

Bulls will have enough to hold off Washington when the schedule eases up in a few games.
