2012-2013 Boozer leads the Bulls to a last seed in the playoffs thread

[Internet Apex]

Can't wait to watch Hinrich play shooting guard once Rose is back.

KC Johnson thinks that Hinrich is their plan for SG in 2013-2014 when Rip's contract is up because who cares Miami is going to win anyway.

Using a mid level exception on a player who is worse than CJ Watson, yet makes more money, makes no sense. But he took a paycut, so Jerry has to like that. Once the nets get howard, the bulls will be the 5-6th best team in the east, with a healthy lineup.

That's crazy talk. With Rose healthy they're not worse than Boston or Indiana. Miami, this mythical Brooklyn monster we've yet to see materialize and who else?

I think Boston, Miami, Nets (they'll get howard in the next few days), Knicks, 76ers all got better this offseason. The bulls will lose Asik and Korver, Brewer and Watson. The Bulls greatest strength was their bench, which will be soon be gone. I keep forgetting about Hinrich though. He's awesome.

They'll probably keep Korver or Brewer.

And their greatest strength is actually their all-star point guard. Not those bums they're losing or will bring in to replace them.

RIZZZOOOOO. He's been up for like two days. I love him but I also don't want to get carried away which is why I only yell RIZZOOOOOO in public every five minutes instead of every three.

As for the Bulls, people can get as butthurt as they wanna get but their best player's leg snapped in half in game one of the playoffs. So that is sort of a factor.

And they are going to grind out 40+ wins next year on the strength of their coaching and defense, make the playoffs and get double-fisted in the anal cavity by either Miami, Indiana or Boston in round one. So when do the Hawks get Luongo and when is Vitters getting called up?

But Apex, how come the Bulls aren't trading for a guy who has no interest in being here or signing a guy who doesn't exist so they can win 82 games next season while Derrick Rose recovers? WHY COME.

Because Jerry Krause poisoned the water here and Michael Jordan told everybody.

I can't tell if you're joking but gloom and doom Bulls fans are the worst.

There's a difference between unnecessary gloom and doom and realistically assessing their situation. The Bulls are in a legitimately tough spot over the next few years financially, both because of cap restrictions and self-imposed ones. They just don't have much room to get better without a good bit of luck or an unprecedented (for them) display of creativity.

It doesn't mean they can't be good. But it might mean they can't win a title.

Although logical, this makes no sense. Clearly you are a typical bulls fan, how dare you criticize the team. There is no need for them to get better, they have derrick rose. And he got hurt, that's why they didn't win it all last year. And the year before last was a learning experience. They've had the best record in the league, which should tell you this team was the best team in the NBA. With Hinrich, we have another core member. SuperCORE.

Ok, so now we've established how not to be a Bulls fan. There are many different ways. Clearly my way is the absolute worst. Then comes FroDog's way and all the others. At the top of the pantheon is a dude from the southside who used to school motherfuckers off the dribble on the ball courts before he got drafted into the Army and got shot in the jungle because Communism! or something. He hates you all more than you'll ever know and could probably run this team better than the two boring dipshits currently fucking the franchise through the floor and into basketball hell.

So how did the Bulls get into this mess? Besides Derrick getting hurt.
