I thought without D. Lee the Warriors were done. Wow, very impressive. Exciting series so far.

The Lakers without the Mamba are not gonna make it to the finals, the Heat though.

Sadly, I agree.

So the Bulls just beat the Nets, and are leading the series 2-1. What happens if the Bulls make it to the second round? Is D. Rose still going to sit? That would be... wow. Noah should take him into a locked room and beat his *** till he decides to play.

if we make it to the second round, he has to at least come off the bench. the city will force him. they will forsake him as our favorite son. if he doesn't, noah will become the face of the bulls and rose will be shunned in public. if people think jay cutler got on chicagos bad side, they ain't seen nothing yet.

Yeah lets rush a player who may not feel 100% and possibly make the injury worse.

We don't know that. Dr cleared him to play=/ 100%

He also most likely will over compensate and stress other parts of his body...

D. Rose was 85% in the beginning of February. Doctors have said he is 100% for weeks. Every other superstar comes back somewhere between that time.

I understand everyone is different, but seeing Noah hobbling up and down the floor like some crazed hobo, and seriously contributing in the playoffs, is hard to take when your superstar is sitting by choice. The Bulls as a team are playing their hearts out. Is D. Rose a part of that, where is his heart?

After coming back from a huge deficit to that insane 3OT win, how can you not be rip roaring to get in the next game?

Geez, and I'm not even a Bulls fan.

I'm probably the biggest bulls and d rose fan there is. There are some rumors that it's mgmt choice to shut down rose and not rose's. In fact, this is pretty easy to believe that they knew he wouldn't play the whole time but said he might, or that he's day to day, just to hype it up and sell tickets at their ridiculous prices. No secret that the only regular season game that rose sat on the bench happened to be when season tickets for next year went on sale.

I understand all the hate against him because his teammates are all injured fighting out there, but at the same time he got injured by carrying this team for 2 years straight through injuries and what not. For once the bulls are playing team ball (boozer finally is playing well, Deng stepped up huge, etc.) Before they would just stand around and watch rose do things. At this point in the season, him not being confident with his leg and trying to play that way will hurt the bulls, they will just go back to let the MVP do everything. In Chicago, Rose is loved regardless. He lost probably some respect/love from a few fans sure, but this city will be on his side whether he comes back in round 2 or next year. Let just say Chicago has a soft spot for its hometown boy.

the enver nugget's bench reaction is priceless. CURRY = BEAST MODE 24/7

Golden State, making California proud, even in Los Angeles (f*ck you lolkers and boats )

So collins is gay. Good for him for coming out of the closet but honestly, why do we care about whether he is gay or not? These are professional athletes, I don't care too much about their personal life. Why is it a big deal? Is it because slowly but surely professional sports are turning in the WWF with storylines and drama and overactive evil commissioners? Like the way the world acted about Manti's GF just made me sad.

Anyway, One more win Chicago! then on to Miami!
