I wouldn't be shocked to see them tank next year administratively, hoping to get everyone healthy and maybe making a fan placating run in the playoffs. It's going to be a grindy, Scott Skiles type of season next year.

Call me a meatball - whatever - but the Bulls need an "enforcer" type. Somebody to throw some bows and get an offense out of its rhythm when the opponent gets hot.

We should take it personally when the other team gets going - just like Jordan and Rodman did with their sneaky "nut taps".

Big Sexy was perfect in this role. I remember last year, all he did was elbow LeBron in the chest as he was finishing his jumper a few times, and he was off his shooting for the rest of the night (makes you flinch - okay, then he just started driving the lane and getting fouls, but. . .)

Like Peeps said, I'll take another superstar player over the supposed badass. Ask the '90s Knicks how that "enforcer" stuff worked out.

Yeah but there's no Jordan/Pippen in the league right now

Lebron/Wade is pretty close to that, I'd say.

Nice Effort, put everything they had into it, just too many Ouchies in the long run. Even if they win last night and take the 76ers, no way this team wins more than one let down game v Miami. Not the usual feeling of depression when one of my teams lose in the playoffs See Ya Next January when Rose and Luol are rumored to come back and we will see if Uncle Jerry will dip into the NBA Tax realm to make this team better.

And how'd last year end? Oh yeah, Miami won four straight games and destroyed the Bulls. I'd settle for another star player instead. Have no idea how to get him though.
