Pre injury Rose is my favorite player of all time. Just imagine the backcourt of this version of Rose, and this season's Jimmy Butler. Oh my lawd we'd be 1 piece away from multiple finals appearances.
I started watching basketball during last years playoff. I feel disprivedged that I havent got to see this freak of nature in true form. Hopefully he can come back and do great things for Chicago.
This squad would have won it all. They were on a whole new level than last year. Rose could actually hit 3s now, team chemistry was off the charts, and now they were more experienced. I honestly believe they would beat this current GSW team. Rose always destroyed Westbrook and Durant. GSW couldn't even slow this Rose down. Thompson would have had to guard Rose and use a ton of energy on defense. Rose locked Curry up when he wanted in games, Noah and Boozer matched well with Draymond and Bogut. Deng would lock up Thompson especially a tired Thompson(guarding Rose). Rip Hamilton was like water, he fit with Rose and the Bulls perfectly. This team would have beat Miami in 6 or 7. Rose destroyed Miami the previous year with no help in the backcourt which made it easier to guard Rose and everyone else. Plus Bulls weren't playoff experienced the previous year.
this bulls team had so much potential.. clearly would've beat the sixers first round, would've beat the celtics and would've been a classic rematch with the heat in conference finals and a high chance of beat them.. and surely beat the young okc team
