Inching closer? Take a look at the Bulls schedule so far, hardest schedule in the league. We have played 20 road games compared to 10 home games. We have played less than 5 with our starting lineup, 3 losses when Deng was out, 2 when Rose was out. Simply put, we don't loose when we are healthy. Miami just isn't built to win games like the Bulls are. 69ppg from 3 players and everyone else just watches, one of those guys doesn't play their best and they have a pretty big chance of loosing.

Oh, lets see if they can get past the Bucks this time, be crazUy if they dropped 3 in a row to them. If only that game was on NBA TV.

He hasn't been getting double digits for 3 years now, but does it matter how much you score when you do it so inefficiently? Rondo, like always was great, lol at the rumors for Gasol. Watson just isn't fast enough and doesn't make him use enough energy on defense to slow him down.

I don't care that the Bulls have the hardest schedule. I said the Heat are inchin closer to #1 seed because that's what they're doing. Only 1 game back now.

And The Heat were like 8-1 w/o Wade so everyone doesn't just stand around.

All i kno is tht bulls need rose in big games. I want bulls to be top seed before allstar so thibs can coach east. After tht i dont care if bulls dont finish top seed. I just want the players to be healthy when playoffs start. I want them in the final vs possibly okc

**punjabi212** · 02-13-2012, 10:25 AM

Trust me if you're the Bulls or the Heat you want #1 seed at the end of the season because you want game 7 @ home.

As for the Knicks, we can settle for the 8th seed and do what we did in '99. Make it to the NBA finals. Deja Vu anyone? Lol

Well you should care, its going to be extremely difficult to catch them, even if its one game. The Bulls will loose less than they've lost the first half of the season, around 5 games or so. And, yes the Heat do stand around, hence the big 3 scoring 69ppg.

Wait to see how the team works with Melo, Amare, and Lin all playing toegether, but they will probably not be an 8th seed. If everything works they should be able to jump Orlando and Atlanta, otherwise they might miss the playoffs completely.

What I said was the Heat are gaining on them and that the Bulls better hope Rose's back isn't serious. I can't predict the future so I don't know what will happen.

I can't wait till tomorrow. I really want to see Amare and Lin together.

Doesn't seem to serious, he played through it against the Hornets, we'll find out tomorrow how long he will be out, but I expect him to play Thursday to put Boston in their place, remind them they are a 7th seed team and not a contender.

Thats going to be crazy, wish I could watch that, going to be reminiscent of when the Suns had that team they almost (and should have) won a title with, til Melo comes back then who knows what happens.

Yeah, it's a muslce problem and not structural. He's out today but will probably play against the Celtics on Thursday.

If he isn't ready to play against Boston, or even if he does I'd let him sit until after the all-star break just to be safe, fairly easy schedule should have no problem staying strong while he recovers.

I'd definitely rest him until he's 100%.

**punjabi212** · 02-14-2012, 07:40 PM

Game winning shot. All he does is LIN LIN LIN.

**celeron** · 02-14-2012, 07:42 PM

Noooo

**Simon** · 02-14-2012, 07:47 PM

When will it end? I hope he can keep it up. It's a really good story. Crazy to see a player come from nowhere and play like he has.

That's what they said when he was about to face Deron Williams. And what happened there?

Duncan had a good game tonight against the Pistons. The big fella still has some game.

Deron Williams hasn't been trying all year, hes going through the motions, can't wait to get out of that town.

lol, you mean expect rose and deng to play 5 minutes, unless thibs wants to see how they match up against Westbrook and KD for a while. Can't wait to hear the frosh/soph draft tonight, PLEASE PLEASE let Kenny's request to allow 1 pick for each team to be someone not on the list. On a unrelated note, here is the video he was talking about when hes cousin saw some asian kid giving John Wall the business in the summer league Jeremy Lin vs John Wall NBA Summer League Mavs vs Wizards Highlights - YouTube
