Are Bulls Just As Good Without Rose????

[blanco]

Seriously this thread just proves how ******* retarded you are JJ. No the bulls aren't better without the NBA MVP. Yes its nice they were able to overcome the worst performance of his career with a regular season victory against the heat. No it means nothing come playoffs. But the heat are way more weak than any of us would have expected. Heat +140 and Bulls +350 is a ******* joke of a line to win it all. If the refs do it fair bulls v heat should be even money at worst

They move the ball and get better shots when he isn't on the floor.

seriously? lol. he's no kobe. he's rusty and trying to find his rhythm. you all are so short term results oriented

[oldscho0led]

goes to show that MVP selection in 2011 is a fluke...the real MVP is Coach Thibs!

[blanco]

OMG the 2011 mvp has the worst game of his career and all of the sudden he's worthless!!!! all of you degenerates are spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

99% of you are a complete joke

What I am surprised about is how good they move the ball without Rose on the floor
I still think ball movement is critical and teams playing that isolated bull shit does not seem to work as much
Heat proving it..easy to stop a team who just focuses on one or two guys shooting

Rose will be fine of course

[Ratpack]

and what happened last year with a completely healthy mvp rose vs the heat oh yeah the heat shut him down every game in the last minute.

[chantrain]

Rose wasn't completely healthy last year...He twisted his ankle like 3 times in the playoffs.

this thread is full of retarded Heat homers who don't know crap about basketball, obviously.

hey the Heat are 9-1 without Wade...omg Wade is over rated! Wade doesn't deserve his MVP! Trade Wade, he sucks!

Lakers better without Kobe, too. Dominated the Spurs. Or at least, just as good.

Simplistic thinking FTW.

I like Rose....great player

My point of the thread is that there is not much difference when he is not on the court
It might be other players are just hot when Rose is off the floor

If you take a longer view on this than the last week (and month when he's been hurt), then your statement is verifiably false.
