Massive failure if healthy Bulls don't go deep into playoffs

[Basketbolero]

ok, except for the usual bs some of ya'll bring to the table, back to the topic at hand.

Chicago have 4 all stars, they have a much better bench and are all healthy. This is the year for them to do something.
Forget about Cleveland and Lebron for a second, let's talk about the expectations on the Bulls.

Bulls haven't clicked all year, Noah and Rose aren't close to their usual selves (and may never be again) and Milwaukee just pushed them to 6 games so yeah, enough of this BS.

so you don't think they are good enough to make a deep run into the playoffs?
So all of these years we've been hearing about how good of a team Chicago is but that they're unlucky not be healthy and when they finally are(+Gasol and Mirotic) you start bringing up lame excuses?
Everybody rightfully gave Chicago a pass the last few years when they had injuries, this year its all in their own hands.

The bulls will make a sacrificing to the basketball gods with the blood of cavaliers players while performing a self kudagraw.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about with your agenda thread. Noah, Rose and Gibson aren't anywhere close to 100% + the team have not found any consistency all season. They should beat Cleveland on paper but I would not be surprised if they didn't. Either way, Atlanta would most likely beat them.

No excuses, just the reality of a team that looked to dominate the East a few years ago but whose main pieces have all been progressively falling apart due to age and injury. If it wasn't for the surprising rise of Jimmy Butler, Chicago's reality would be talked about in much different terms.

Cavs still have the best two players in the Eastern Conference.

No excuses at all. Love has been garbage all season anyway. Blatt went with TT over Love down the stretch in close games numerous times. Hell, they might be better with TT getting more minutes since he actually rebounds and defends.

Damn, Bulls fan are bigger ******* than I thought

They are scared to admit even a possibility of them being the favorites in the East. Funny how you brim with confidence every year, but when the shit gets real, suddenly any expectations vanish in a puff of dust

[chips93]

this is probably the first time in a few years where the bulls look stronger on paper than they do on the court. usually they overachieve

they arent funny healthy though, so this is meaningless. noah is hobbled, and rose is still finding his game.

notice how it is not actually bulls fans being all cocky, its still bunch of Lakers fans and the usual Lebron stalkers.

[edrick]

I love how the Lebron haters are now trying to act like JR Smith is some amazing ass player, what were you clowns saying when he was playing for the Knicks? lol

[SpecialQue]

You're pathetic. The Cavs will easily win this series, but you still feel the need for preemptive damage control. You don't have to put away your lube...you can still dickride your favorite player into the finals.

Rose is not an all-star.

[SpecialQue]

Rose is not an all-star.

He's an average player at best. And these are the same assholes who downplay Bosh and Wade.
