5 TOs to go with his 23 points on 24 shots. And stats can't demonstrate how lame his defense and effort have been. Dreadful.
The Bulls are done. Congrats Philly. They will not beat the Celtics in the next round though. Looks like it's going to be a Miami/Boston conference final.
Sad History. It's sad that the Chicago Bulls are going to be in the history books for being a #1 seed that lost to a #8 seed in a 7-game series. Get well soon, D-Rose...
lol fail. Did you not watch the spurs grizzles match up last season? And there were others that did before in the 7-game series as well.
If your the Bulls, in this off-season you basically have to go after Crawford, Terry, and Nick Young, but letting Korver, Brewer, and possibly even Asik go. They need more scoring on this team truly compete with the Heat so weather Rose's injuries but also to allow Rose to have breathers during the game so that he is not so overworked. They are totally regretting getting Boozer as well, but pretty impossible to unload his contract.
They can amnesty him right? It'd be a pretty hefty price though, so we'll see how committed the Bulls owner is.

Nobody is stepping up for the Bulls. Korver/Deng/Boozer are playing horribly right now, even knowing that Deng is banged up/not a true #1 option and Korver and Boozer have sucked in the playoffs ever since they left the Jazz. Even with Rose out, I'm shocked their offense is struggling THIS much. I know this team really well as a Bulls season ticket holder, and Thibs has been great all year. Great coach, and the city loves him. However, he's made some perplexing moves in these playoffs, and I'm, not even mentioning the Rose injury as part of this. He left John Lucas III in for the ENTIRE fourth quarter of game 3 when all he was doing was dribbling the clock down to 4 seconds and murdering the Bulls offense. Lucas is OK as a sparkplug for a couple of minutes a game; but the entire 4th in a pressure-packed OT game? CJ Watson is much more of an NBA player, and that showed when he was the only one who could create any offense for the Bulls in Game 4. I also have NO IDEA what Thibs was thinking putting a badly injured Noah back into the game in Game 3 and risking even worse injury. Rip Hamilton has been a massive disappointment. The fact that they don't even trust him to play in the 4th anymore says a hell of a lot. Am absolutely stunned at how this team has started to fall apart, from the top down. Rose's injury was obviously the catalyst and their title hopes went down with him, but they should still be beating this Philly team. Also, Marc Davis has been the worst referee in the playoffs. The Bulls couldn't buy a call at the end of Game 4 while the Sixers got touch fouls their way the other end. The crowd was on the officials earlier in the game for calls that did go the Bulls' way and they influenced the officials. Hey, it happens. Gotta overcome it. Hoping the Bulls can make some kind of magic happen but I don't see it happening--not with how stagnant their offense has been since Game 1, how confident Philly is, and how bummed the vibe is here in Chicago right now.
