Bulls won a game.

First PWill out for 5 months, then Caruso out 1 month and then as soon as he got back, Allen's flagrant foul and Caruso out for another 2 months, Lonzo out last 3 months and Lavine got hurt (his knee and he needs surgery but playing through it as this is first playoffs and he wanted to experience it even if he is hobbled) and Bulls were just not the same since then.
Went from 1st seed to 6th seed and defense went from top 5 to bottom 5. Only good thing is that now Bulls front office should know who to keep and who to get rid of.
Either way, with Healthy, Bulls were on pace to be just like how Celtics have been since January.
What could have been. Hopefully next year.

Ehhh at no point were the Bulls even close to the level the Celtics have been at since January. Even when they were playing their best ball in 2021 pre Lonzo and Caruso injuries, the Bulls were a +3, +3.5 net rating team. The Celtics have a +12.7 net rating since Jan 1, #2 on offense and #1 by multiple miles on defense. The Bulls at their best were a pretty good team, but the Celtics have been a totally dominant championship level team with arguably a historic defense.

The Bulls benefited from a softer schedule in the 1st half of the season. In the 2nd half they played and lost 8 games against Milwaukee, Memphis and Phoenix, after not having to face those teams even once in the 1st half.cool007 wrote:Man Bulls season got derailed once they started getting covid with multiple players out and then injuries started happening.

Please leave us out of your beef.
We know what we can do.
Underestimating the Bucks is not something we will do.
We're expecting a dogfight.
Middleton is usually great against us but i fully expect someone like Portis to replace his production.
This will be a 7 game series, Middleton or not.

Karma already struck the Bucks with Middleton being out. I'm pulling for the Celtics the rest of the way. I see them winning in 6 with Middleton out. A fully healthy Celtics team is scary.
