Rip milked a mild groin pull for nearly two months. Lopez came back from a broken leg sooner. Ten bucks says you won’t see Hamilton in the lineup until April.

Not a Bulls fan but if they want to have a legit chance to win it all they’d better try to get J. Crawford from Portland. Rose & Crawford would be one heck of a backcourt. Speaking of Rose, he’s my favorite non-LAKER. He’s the best PG in the league and one of the top 3 or 4 players overall, IMO.

There are still plenty of games left for Rip to get healthy and get back in the groove.

Shoulder injuries rarely last more than a week or two…..I hope.

Rip isn’t\wasn’t enough to get past Miami anyways, so not sure what the Bulls’ brass was thinking.

It does suck for him and the fans though

This is going about as well as the last time the Bulls picked through the Pistons’ garbage cans. Remember the ghastly Ben Wallace era?

They almost have to do something if Rip is going to miss significant time. They aren’t beating the Heat with Brewer playing starters minutes. Love the guy, but he’s just not consistant enough to be a starting 2 on a championship team.

Wonder if this will make the Bulls players for Allen. The Bulls second unit would be much improved with a scoring option like Hamilton on it.

Funny how this is the only mention of the Bulls you can come up with.
They blew out the Pacers last night and have also beaten San Antonio and Philly on the road since the All Star break yet you pretend that they do not exist.
They have won 7 in a row and 9 of their last 10 and this is all you can talk about?
Rip Hamilton?

When you finally do get around to talking about the team with the best record in the NBA you also have to mention the Heat just like you guys did in the power rankings.
The Bulls have been plagued by injuries all year yet here they are 2.5 games ahead of Miami.

man this is NOT what the Bulls paid for. How is this guy all of a sudden injury prone?? Don’t tell me it’s age w guys like Nash and Kidd 4 or 5 years older than him and still producing. And Bryant and Duncan are similar and age and they’re producing. The guy needs some workout tips or something…

The rest of the team is going to have to continue to elevate their game, since it looks like it’ll be a ver close roster rematch for the eastern conference finals. At least the Bulls roster- Boozer and Brewer especially- have shown improvement over last year. So I guess we’ll see how it goes. The search for the second killer scoring threat may have to continue this offseason.
