Noah recently claimed had D.Rose and others been healthy in the 2011-12 season, they would have won the NBA championship
agree or disagree?

Garbage franchise got put in rebuild mode twice by Lebron (on 2 seperate teams :lol)
D.Rose, Jimmy, Gasol, etc etc. Line em up sit em down
Chicago was the original LeJizz rag long before LeBronto

If my memory serves correct they lost to Iggy's Philly team who took Boston to 7 who took Miami to 7. It's definitely a possibility but I don't think it happens with or without Rose.

Biggest benefit of the doubt I'd grant is that they'd give Miami a hasty run for their money in the ECF while Bosh was sidelined, but I don't think it's guaranteed they'd even reach that stage with Rose.
Those Bulls were just weren't primed well for the playoffs. Thibodeau played them at full bore throughout the regular season, which was especially disadvantageous for that lockout-tightened schedule; otherwise, they shouldn't have foundered to a first-round upset even without Rose.
Even if they somehow advanced past the Celtics and Heat, I doubt they'd have enough left in the tank to finish the run against the young-legged Thunder.
Their best chance was in 2011, where they simply had the misfortune of playing the best iteration of the Miami Heatles.

Disagree.
Heat had it that year, and apart from Spurs coming close had it there pretty cleanly.

I listened to his interview on Pardon My Take and he didn't declare that they would have won were they healthy.
He just said they were were gelling together and that he felt like no one was ****ing with them.
Completely different things.
