I know Rose and Noah are hurt and those are two very important player in a young Bulls lineup, but wow, what a losing streak leading into the last couple months of the season, but it makes you wonder if they are resting their players for a lottery pick. Quite a conspiracy theory, I know, but kinda makes you think after riding such a hot streak into the break they have entered such a cold one after…

Not only are Rose and Noah hurt, but Kirk and Deng sat out. Kirk was suspended and Deng had a wrist injury. They also say that GIbson has the same thing as Noah but not as bad. The foot thing. They started Law tonight. I think they may be tanking but not like you are saying. The players are doing it, not the staff. I think that Rose is taking his time coming back, and he should, to keep from getting a serious injury. Same goes for Noah and Deng. IMO, the only guy that plays hard on that team right now is Joe Alexander. Thats just because he is pretty much the retarted version of Crash.

This is just a lack of talent at this point. You don’t tank when you’re in the playoff race.

I just don’t think they’re tanking… It’s just a series of unfortunate events… Derrick Rose has been injured thanks to Dwight Howard (again!)… Luol Deng and Joakim Noah are key players that have been sidelined… They can’t really depend on guys like Flip Murray nor Brad Miller because they’re no game changers…

I don’t think they’re tanking though… Unlike the 2007-08 Miami Heat who was obviously tanking their whole season… The Bulls are fighting to remain in the hunt it’s just that, they really are banged up and this is a situation that no one can control.

That is where the Bulls have been ever since MJ left. Them making the playoffs this year will not help them get out of NBA hell. They will be no closer to winning a championship if they r the 8th seed this year. Being a Bulls fan my entire life, I expect nothing less than a championship. That series against a depleted Celtics team did nothing for me. It is more important that Derrick and Joakim be completly healthy at the start of next season. By that time hopefully they will have added a top flight free agent. If they do this, depending the free agent they sign, they will be ready to step out of basketball hell and contend for a championship. THIS YEAR MEANS NOTHING!!

There no tanking and if so, your not doing it good enough because Milkwaukee might take that 1st round pick
