Chicago needs another player who can create and score. Their offense is brutal, and to be honest, even with Rose in they are a middling offensive team.
They wouldn’t have beaten the Heat in the ECF if healthy. Everyone knows that.

I love Chicago’s toughness, teamwork and defense, but this is not a championship team, even when healthy. They are missing a piece and that should be clear to any objective fan.
Rose, Deng, Noah and Gibson represent a terrific core. Everyone else should be expendable in order to find a scorer in the off-season.

Hey: Michael Irvin broke his neck in Philly. That’s football.

Crack blog-journalism. Just throw up an image of Michael Irvin lying on the Veterans Stadium turf and call it a day. That’s the only stereotype he wants to invoke anyway.

Appreciate the best wishes. I was very upset when Rose went down – I never want to win in that fashion. Beyond that, Rose was my favorite player to watch and I feel as if I was robbed now that I won’t get to see him play the Heat in the ECF.

As a die-hard Sixers’ fan, I know we have no business winning this series, but I’ll take Chicago’s bad breaks and move along. Hopefully our young guys – like Turner and Holliday – mature and evolve on this playoff run.

Suddenly the ECF don’t look to far-fetched.

when are you the #1 seed..even without 40% of your lineup you should be able to beat the #8 seed.

umm. the series ain’t over yet. and besides if noah doesn’t get hurt the bulls win. also no mention of taj Gibson hurting his knee and unable to finish the game. deng, Watson, korver all had bad games and philly barely won the game. also philly fans are the most classless group of thugs in the country. philly will still lose this series. they will find a way. come on. its philly.

Dear Stupid:

It’s NOT an upset when an 8 beats a 1 when 40% of the 1′s starting lineup is OUT.

Hope that clears up your idiotic comment.

Hate to inform you, but it’s no longer an “upset” when 40% of your starting lineup is now out with injuries. Good luck Sixers.

I’m a lifelong Bulls fan, but I have to tip my cap to the Sixers for their effort. That’s the way it goes in sports. The Bulls did a great job all year but unfortunate timing and injuries are going to derail them. But give the Sixers credit. It’s one thing to have your opponent run into a string of bad luck, but you still need to take advantage of it. And the Sixers are. Hate to say it, but after Noah’s injury, now even I’m ready to call it a season. Good luck Sixers.

The “filly” fans showed their real class last night, cheering when Noah went down. He was a REAL man to go back in. He showed more heart than anyone on your squad.
Indy will send you guys packing, so don’t get too excited about kicking a dog when its down, and we’ll get revenge at some point down the road.

PS – the Chgo Tribune says that Noah’s ankle may be broken.

Right when everyone was still picking the bulls even when Rose did go out. Give the Sixers some credit.

Nice to see the Sixers pull it together, but let’s just enjoy this one cause we’re not getting much further, unless lebron tears his acl of course.

Asublime day. Lemme tell u bout 1 seeds and 8 seeds. It’s traditionally called an upset when the 8 seed is victorious.

Hope that clears up the confusion.

“LOL how is this an upset? It’s pathetic that the sixers aren’t dominating this series without rose.”

What a joke! All of the experts were saying that the 18-9 without D Rose Bulls would still make it to the finals. Go ahead and pretend that the Bulls are the Inferior
Team. They are still better than the Sixers in most people’s eyes. But the Sixers just ripped out their hearts.

These Bulls without Rose remind me of the Mike Fratello’s Cavs in the 90s. They can keep the games close with stellar defense, but can’t produce offensively.

Evan Turner is a beast. So the Bulls can play without Rose? Not.

doesnt Boozer get paid enough to carry the team when mr. rose and mr. noah are down.

After tonight the Bulls can mail their last two games in as the series, let alone a chance at the Heat, is long gone. Thibs can moan at length about injuries and court spacing but in the play-offs you need a decent go to scorer in tight games and the Bulls have none. The pick and roll looked good for 36 minutes but the double-teams and the shot clock made a mess of any Bulls offense in the 4th quarter. Between Boozer and Hamilton not money well spent for next year either and not much trade value.

Big Props to the Sixers for pulling that one out. It was good to see them finally win a tight ballgame. Turner was a Beast down the stretch!
