Bulls are making a STATEMENT

[pumpkinhead33793]

People all of a sudden think Indiana is better than the Bulls with Rose.

No they are not. The Bulls are the best threat to the Heat; atleast in the east and the are tired of the disrespect.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

LOL, not all of a sudden and no and no and who wouldn't be?

 

[bksballer89]

lol so because the Bulls beat Indiana at home, they all of sudden jump over Indiana? The Pacers are the biggest threat to the Heat because Hibbert & West>Boozer & Noah

Bulls destroyed a Raps team yesterday that was playing well

Rose looks like he could be back, but after 1 game let's just slow down. It would appear that the Pacers are taking a night off.

Lol it's one game, and the Bulls caught the Pacers traveling on the 2nd night of a back to back

Pacers are still the best threat, because they can intimidate the Heat and have everything they need to beat them

Pacers played well in 2nd half. These temas could meet in playoffs. Would be fun to watch

I don't know about making a statement, really... I mean let's face facts: Only idiots and haters question the Bulls' status as a legit Championship caliber team, and a very serious threat to win the East.

Bulls just came out and played up to their capabilities tonight as a fully healthy team.

I have them playing in the ECF...

 

[raptorlife4]

i think the bulls are a threat. will take time to gel as a team fully but i think they can take the east

ROFL... it's quite clear that you didn't watch the game.

The Bulls feel like the Pacers have disrespected them (especially on their home court) in the past. They don't like the Pacers - even more so than the Heat. Everyone in Chicago knows this and it is all over the Chicago media. Trust me, the Bulls wanted to make a statement tonight. Not just stop the little winning streak the Pacers have had to start the season, but to smoke them. And they did just that.

Pacers Bulls in the playoffs would be a bloodbath

Counting tonight's win the Bulls are 10-4 against the Pacers since 2011 (regular season and playoffs), with Rose on the court. That said, I agree the Bulls wanted to dominate Indiana tonight; however I don't think it's a "statement" per se because IMO the Bulls know they can beat the Pacers... that's why Rose said he didn't consider the Pacers to be a rival (which wasn't a shot against Indy more so than the Bulls' being confident that they are the better team).

IMO a "statement" game is going into Miami and dominating the Heat for 48 minutes.

Until someone can be a legitimate 2nd scorer after Rose, they have no chance against Miami

The Bulls are a threat to win the east but I have them ranked behind Miami and Indiana

 

[ChiTownCliff]

I agree that right now the West/Hibbert combo is better than Boozer/Noah. If Noah is 100% healthy it is a lot closer as West is not the player he once was. He is still an effective and smart big that I would love to have.

Rose is really the key. If healthy he can be a top 10 player.

Right now the Pacers look good and I even stated they had the best chance at the beginning of last season to take out the Heat. I do not care who does it, I would love to see someone else in the Finals for the East. Of course I wouldn't complain if it were the Bulls...

Deng and Boozer are Scoring as much as Wade and Bosh this year... Butler is averaging double-digit scoring, and Noah averages double-digit scoring the last 4 seasons. Gibson averages 10-PPG off the bench and Dunleavy is shooting 53% from long-range.

The Bulls have plenty of Scoring... all they need to do is stay healthy for an entire season and the Heat are history.

Dude you are spot on, again!

Hopefully this is the Bulls team I see the rest of the season. Also the Derrick Rose we see for the rest of the year.
