Not good but not terrible either as both he and Rose will be back for the playoffs. Fortunately the Wizards are fading and the Bulls have a good cushion on the Bucks, which should allow the Bulls to hold on to HCA in the first round. This eliminates any chance of a top 3 seed, though.

Seems likely the Bulls fall to the 8th seed. Hawks fans on suicide watch

This shows you know nothing about the Hawks.
The Bulls won't fall that far.
The real team that I am concerned with is the Pistons, because Drummond/Monroe absolutely destroy us on the boards. It's not even funny how badly we get killed by them - usually 35-40 rebounds from them together.

Wow. We just can't catch a break.

How does the training/strength team keep employed on the Bulls? Every year 4-6 key players go down for long stretches. Fire them all and get them properly conditioned/stretched. Damn.

Tell me about it. I can't think of a team with more bad luck with injuries over the last three years. At least Jimmy and Rose will be back for the playoffs but there's usually a trade off with them being rusty and out of game shape.

When Hawks lose, their fans don't become suicidal, they just do what they did before this season: Not care about the Hawks.

Chicago will never go to the finals with Thibs as a head coach.

Bulls getting the short end of the stick health wise recently, good news for Toronto who are in a bad streak.

Its not about bad luck or being cursed. Thibs run his players to the ground...

Seriously, every season they have guys with nagging injuries at this point in the season.

Meanwhile the Hawks are resting starters regularly, copying the Spurs' system that has resulted in teams being healthy for the playoffs for the past decade.

Thibs can't be blamed for what Jordan did on Sunday.

Every team deals with injuries. No excuses.

[Im Still Ballin]

I'd never wish injury upon a player. I cannot deny that this helps my Cavaliers dearly though.
