God talk about some grit and balls. Derrick Rose is out. Luel Deng has some mysterious illness. Nate Robinson was throwing up in a bag one game and spitting up blood last night. Kirk Hinrich has a limp leg. Noah is playing on one foot. Yet all this team does is scratch and claw it's way to victories. I pray to the basketball gods that they upset the Heat somehow.

 I've found it refreshingly easy to root against the Bulls for 20+ years.

Yeah, I'm fine with them losing to Indiana and letting Indy have a year in the finals.  if the Bulls can knock off the Heat they'll be my heroes for the postseason.

They played a great game last night and I was more than happy to see them win. I like rooting for them right now.

However, I would hate to see Rose get a ring just from being sidelined all year. That would kill me. Double however, they are exciting and playing really confident right now. Adding Deng will hopefully help them even further against the Heat.

I don't hate them so I can root for them to upset the Heat...after that it doesn't really matter to me. They're playing the "right" way and playing like a team. They could easily use injuries and illnesses as an excuse, but they show up and fight...I respect that. Plus I like seeing Lil Nate out there causing fits..lol.

I don't like the Bulls.  That's how I could not root for them.

Exactly.  Frankly I find Celtics fans views on rivalries, who they hate/root for, etc quite confusing at this point.

To win a game?  Sure.  You think they are winning this series?  I'll give them two games.  Their size is going to bother Miami but they can't win.

This is why I want Memphis to make it to the Finals.  Besides that I really like the team, Miami vs Memphis would be a great series.

I've come around on Noah. Can't hate on him anymore.

He's too tough, plays too hard and rises to the occasion. Mr. Tenacity. Nate and Butler are great to pull for too.

If we picked Noah in 2007 to go with Al Jeff & Perk, and took Rudy Gay the year prior, our squad would be interesting.

Noah / Perk
Al Jeff / Sully? / Baby? (draft position would have changed)
Gay / Gerald (ouch)
TA / PP? (likely traded if we went this route)
Rondo / Avery? (draft position certainly would have changed)

Not a bad core. I'm good with the way we went, but right about now, it would be interesting to have Rondo, PP, Rudy, Al & Noah as a starting 5. More likely, you'd have traded PP for some other player & pick, but still.

I've felt for years that we were Bulls lite or they were Celtics lite. Twin sons of different mothers. They should be the team we all root for. Noah is the guy we should have drafted or gotten somehow to replace KG and imho, it was obvious he would be this good. I don't know how so many couldn't see it

I might find it harder to root for the Bulls if Derrick Rose decides to play.  I can't really explain why.

Agree....alot easier rooting for Bulls than   the cHeat  or NY Knicks.

Does anyone think that the NBA will allow the Bulls to beat the HEAT ????

NExt game the Bulls will NEVER see the foul line and James will have no fouls and like 75 points.  ;D
