The Chicago Bulls have been literally bleeding from all pores this month, with a losing streak currently at 7 with a difficult back-to-back Tuesday in Memphis & Wednesday in Dallas. Chances are, it'll be 9 losses in a row when LeBron James & the Cleveland Cavaliers visit the United Center Friday. Get the picture?

With Luol Deng out until at least Friday with what they're calling a sore calf and Derrick Rose possibly out again with the sprained wrist, the rest of the March schedule offers few opportunities for wins. Here's the rest of the March schedule for our bleeding Bulls. Ask yourself this question. Do you see a win or two this month or possibly a winless March?

Tuesday, March 16 @ Memphis 7p CSN
Wednesday, March 17 @ Dallas 7:30p CSN
Friday, March 19th vs. Cleveland 7p CSN
Saturday, March 20th @ Philadelphia 6p WGN/WGN America
Monday, March 22nd vs. Houston 7p WCIU 26
Thursday, March 25th vs. Miami 7p TNT
Saturday, March 27th vs. New Jersey 7p WGN/WGN America
Sunday, March 28th @ Detroit 5p CSN
Tuesday, March 30th vs. Phoenix 7p WCIU 26

They should sit Rose & Deng until after the Cleveland game. They wouldn't win any of these upcoming games anyway. I ran down the rest of the Bulls schedule in another thread ("Just Tank It") and after this tough stretch, the rest of the schedule is favorable. I still say they grab the 8th spot because Toronto is in just as bad of a tailsplin as the Bulls, and theyre schedule appears to be tougher. But if they can't get Rose & Deng back after the Cleveland game, they are sunk.

Unfortunately, Jason, the Bulls lost their earlier meeting in Philadelphia and the Nets actually beat the Bulls at United Center in December. Needless to say, that might have been one of the rockbottom moments of a Bulls' season that's starting to get away.

I stopped there.
