As if we didn't already know, Paul George is the real deal. This game showed it.

We could have blown that game.

can't really blow a game when your biggest lead was 2 points in regulation...

I know that this isn't from this years team but correct me if I am wrong but isn't the anniversary of when this fight happened

Yep sure is. Only reason I remember that is on ESPN's telecast they didn't hesitate a ton to bring it up when they had the chance

And then there is george Hill... He plays so damn lazy. He falls asleep on defense, and then on that jump he could've easily gotten the ball but just stood there. I really hope he gets traded. He can't run the offense.

I like George, but not as our starting PG. If we can trade him for 1st rounder or another PG that would be great, if not, I wish we could pick up a real starting PG somehow. George is a combo guard, not designed to run a team.

Sorry for the off-topic post here, but it does affect the Pacers and Central division. Derrick Rose left his game last night, they checked out his right knee, so not the one he tore his ACL in. He did however have to be carried back to the trainers room, they are afraid he has torn his ACL in his other knee now. MRI is today

Pacers road to the Central crown just got easier. DRose torn meniscus. Probably gone for the season.

I do hate it for him personally.  I don't like to see anyone get hurt.  However, barring something major happening we're heading toward another ECF of Heat/Pacers.  If he is done for the year, so are the Bulls.  The Knicks are a mess and the Nets are old.

Dang! Beat me to the punch. Yep, all the early reports I have seen haven't been very optimistic about him being able to return this year

[Parakeet Jones 3,784]

Official word as of now is out indefinitely.  

[Hovadipo 56,942]

Listening to Chicago sports talk right now and they're talking to a sports doctor. Said a meniscus takes 4-8 weeks. Now add in the DRose recovery program, divide by Tom Thibodeau being a harda** and it looks like he's out for 4 months.

So just saw the official report. Rose's season is over, with all the recent talk I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bulls make some kind of huge move, involving either Boozer, Deng, or maybe even Noah.

I think the Bulls just found/are going to put themselves in the Parker, Wiggins, Randle, Smart sweepstakes.

Yep, same here. Take into consideration that the guys they put around him aren't going to be any younger when he comes back next season, and that you can't trust he'll be healthy going forward with these types of injuries, they would be wise to seek one of the young guys who has worlds of potential

D Rose isn't a franchise player anymore.

Hard to be one if you can't stay on the court.

Big west coast swing coming up.  They've got their work cut out for them.

Kind of an odd tip time for tomorrow's game to start the trip. 3:30 tip time

I just noticed that about 15 minutes ago.  Better than a 10:30 tip.  I'll get to watch.
