Awesome win tonight

Including yesterday, the Bulls have 11 games in 15 days coming up.

As of Feb 12, they'll have played 20 of their 30 games on the road.

If they can be 23-7 on Feb 12, I think they'll be in great shape to make a run at the No. 1 seed.

Lots of causes for concern last night though haha

Glad I stuck through the complete game last night. The first three quarters were Aggie basketball brutal. Asik played awesome last night. If he can keep that up, we will be much harder to beat. Boozer is ****ing worthless. I really hope we use the anmesty clause on him this offseason and get us a legitimate PF. And from the "duh" category, DRose is unbelievable. Damn, what a fun player to watch.

Another game, another win.

6-1

Hope we can split our next two at Orlando and at Atlanta in back to back nights.

I think this team can make a run at Miami in the playoffs but they need to stay healthy. That is going to be a tough task in this shortened season with the way the Bulls like to play. Thibs is going to have to find rest for these guys somewhere during this compact season.

I'm hoping the Bulls depth will help alleviate some of that

Down go the Magic.

They look turrible tonight. I guess that was bound to happen with this schedule.

I hate Kevin Love so much

Blew a 24-point 2nd quarter lead and still won by double digits. I'm really starting to get concerned about Noah. He is not playing well at all. We all know Boozer sucks, so it's not much of a surprise to see him sit the entire 4th quarter all the time. But when Noah is sitting beside him consistently it worries me. I love me some Turkish Hammer but we need Noah at the top of his game to be an elite team.

I agree on Noah.

down goes Rose. they picked up Mike James to fill in.

how serious is this turf toe injury. walking boot a precaution, or a necessity?

right as Wade returns to domination, James goes into James mode of not shooting in 4th Q or OT, and they lose to the Warriors. Bulls jump them for 1st place, only to have this.

also...don't sleep on Philly.

Pretty sure it's just a precaution. He played just fine last night.

Sounds like he's day to day. I saw the play last night. It actually looked kinda bad but Rose got up and played alright the rest of the game.

Ugly win tonight. John Lucas leads the way with 25 haha

Bulls complete the back-to-back-to-back sweep by beating the Wizards without DRose or CJ Watson playing. Starting PG was John Lucas III. John Wall is still in the NBA, right?

I'm impressed they've been able to win 5 in 6 days with Rip and CJ out. I thought they'd drop at least one.

And DRose sat out one of those games too.

Man, D-Rose out today. Rip still out. CJ playing hurt. I have no idea how this team is 12-2.

i do. the bottom half of the Eastern Conference is 22-64. they have 4 teams with double digit losses, and the West has none.

it's like winning the special olympics over there.

Not feeding any trolls today

Grizzlies took care of business today.

Yea they did. As it turns out, Rose IS very important to the Bulls.

Zach Randolph is a very integral part of the Grizzlies.

I was sitting about 15 feet from the Bulls bench. Rose was in a boot, and there were plenty of disappointed Bulls and Memphis (Tigers/Grizzlies) fans seeing Rose standing there in his boot.

Oh man. I just got OWNED by trevas

Interesting difference (I think) between this game and the last Bulls/Grizzlies game.

Both games were pretty much decided by half.

First game, Hollins played the subs early and got them a lot of minutes, and basically rested players.

This game, Tom Thibodeau still put 39 minutes on Luol Deng and 37 on Brewer. Given the chance to take some minutes off those guys, he maybe should have conceded the game earlier.

It probably won't mean a thing either way, but I thought this year we would see more blowouts this year as coaches pull starters earlier to save on their minutes for down the road.

damn deluxe got pwned. who knew Gigem Trevas was a simplebay sock?

Tru playa from day TWO.

I have 0 affiliation with simplebay.

Phoenix must REALLY suck.

15-3

Now Lu is out. And we start a nine game road trip on Sunday.

Ugh. All these injuries are going to catch up with us soon.

Thibs needs to make sure everyone get healthy by playoff time. Having a healthy roster come playoff time is infinitely more important than the 1 seed. This bulls team could make the playoffs without playing any of their starters. If a starter needs rest due to injury, let him sit out as long as he needs to get to 100%.

Agree BigW. I don't think anyone is saying we shouldn't sit them out now to get them healthy for the playoffs. It's annoying, but I guess it's also the nature of a crammed in season. More nagging injuries and game time missed.
