If Rose can get back to where he was they have a decent shot of beating Miami.  They're physical enough to disrupt them offensively IMO.

TNT said last night that, that one knock in Chicago on Tom Thibodeau is that he plays his starters too many minutes.

 

PG Rose, Teague
SG Butler, Hinrich
SF Deng, Dunleavy

PF Boozer, Gibson

C Noah, Mohammed

 

Would seem like an opportunity exists to limit the minutes of most of the starters.... though I don't think they will want Mohammed on the court much at all.

 

I love Noah's game, but he was really rough last night. Understandable after missing a lot of the preseason with a groin injury.

 

After getting buried early by Miami last night, the Bulls kept playing. Still lost by 12, but almost made it interesting. Butler had a big 2nd half, looks like he could really elevate his game.  Boozer had a big game.

Derrick Rose injures right knee

 

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose injured his right knee during the third quarter of Friday night's 98-95 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers and did not return.

 

The 2011 NBA MVP was taken to the locker room at the end of the third quarter, barely putting any weight on the injured leg. Following the game, he left the trainer's room on crutches and appeared to be in considerable pain.

 

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose will have an MRI on his right knee Saturday in Los Angeles after flying there with the team.

What awful news for Rose and the Bulls.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Wow, that is just unreal. Will he ever be D Rose again?

That's terrible. I really feel for him if it is a tear.

It's always disheartening when you see elite athletes breakdown.

Torn meniscus, needs surgery, out indefinitely. At least it's not an ACL.

Well that's better than what was anticipated.

There's still apparently a good chance he misses the rest of the season according to what Marc Stein has heard from the Bulls.

Interested to see if Jimmer Fredette can become a capable bench scorer for the Bulls.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Bulls with the OT win over the Heat today. Chicago can be fun to watch due to their effort.
