Honestly I almost think that the Bulls are as good without Rose as they are with him. Rose takes way too many shots in the offense, and I almost think that Watson is a better distrubutor for the Bulls than Rose is. However they don't have enough to beat the Heat and will likely lose to the Celtics next round.

You cannot be serious. Yeah they are better without the reigning MVP.:skeptical:

Nice work Thibs...

He hasn't played consistently in forever, was finally getting into rhythm and Philly had trimmed the lead to single digits.

It sucks he's out, but it was the right move to have him in.

Chicago without Rose was still a top 5 team in the league this year so I think they have a 50/50 shot at the eastern finals. Miami won't waltz to the finals and I think they'll have their hands full in the finals again if they do make it.

They're a long shot to win it all now, but they're the only team who could lose their top player and still be in the discussion. Watson and Lucas are pretty solid for #2 and #3 pgs.

Take his posts with a grain of salt. He thinks it would be funny if LJ didn't get drafted today.

This sucks for the Bulls.

Yeah he's not a great shooter, and they are 18-9 this season without him so they aren't going to completely fall apart without him. I don't think they'll win the title without him, but they will likely beat the 76ers without him.
