Bulls were overrated all along

[thestackshow]

Without Rose they cant even win a single game against an 8th seed in the playoffs.

Shouldnt with the best bench in the league, and all that "depth" they could have been able to win at least one game against the 8th seed in the weak east?

Just goes to show you that they would have a hard time beating us in the 2nd round WITH Rose, and would definately not beat Miami in the ECF if they got there.

Meanwhile without Rondo and Ray, the Celtics can still beat the #4 seed...

We are the 4th seed! We just don't have the home court advantage!

And I do think Philadelphia will beat Atlanta at this stage. Atlanta is playing without their two centers, remember.

And in Chicago's case, you just can't overlook the psychological blow the team received.
We knew that Rondo would be back for the next game. We knew that there was a chance Ray would be back at any times in the playoffs.
Now, Chicago knows that they're without Rose through the all way and knowing they can't win the whole thing without Rose, they have pretty much resigned and this is understandable for a team without a true on-court leader.

Mentally Weak team, those teams dont go far in the playoffs.

For my money, Philly are the 4th most talented team in the East.

Boston would look "overrated" if our two best players (Pierce and KG) were injured too. 

Bulls were awesome.  The MVP from last year is hurt.  Noah missed tonight.  What do you expect?

I expect them, the #1 seed, to win at least one game vs the #8th seed.

Also Rondo is our best player, and we still won a game vs the 4 seed without him.

Role players are who we thought they were; ROLE PLAYERS!!

Many people thought they would make the ECF and take Miami to 6 or 7 games WITHOUT Rose.

Turns out they couldnt even win a single game in the playoffs without him.

Overrated.

Without Rose Bulls went 18-6 in the regular season.

Without Rose in the playoffs Bulls are 0-3 so far against weak competition, an 8th seed that went into the playoffs on a losing streak and a barely above .500 record, everyone thought that even without Rose, they could still beat them.

Just goes to show you that regular season success means absolutely nothing in the playoffs.

Uh, no.

They're playing without the best point in the league and their 5.

Not too many people survive that.

Best point in the league? Did Chris Paul retire or something?

Also, the post was that the Bulls were OVERRATED.

When the media thinks that you can get to the ECF without Rose, that means they think your really good, when it turns out your not that good, then it turns out your team has been OVERRATED.

Uh, no.

Yeah losing Noah killed, they have beat up the 76ers on the boards with Noah in the line up. Without them they aren't getting the same advantage.

[Fafnir]

Uh, no.

He was aware of what the post said, and disagreed with it.
