Dude would probably have one ring. That's gotta suck. What could of been.:noah:

:mjlol:

When?

The Bulls were NEVER better than the Heat nor were they better than OKC, those Spurs, or GSW.

Pops shut down Miami Lebron and nikkas think he's gonna have trouble with Rose? A player who's best season isn't even better than 2nd season Lebron? :mjlol:

Popovich would embarrass the Bulls in the finals.

Brehs last nights game had me thinking... What would have happened if Derrick Rose wouldn't have got injured :jbhmm:

He was my favourite player till he got injured and was then out for 2 years for two separate injuries!

Would he have won another MVP? Would Chicago be number 1 in the east over the Cavs?

Here's his MVP highlights to jog y'alls memory as some people seem to have forgot how good he was! :martin:




If we start going down that road we can make similar arguments for dozens of other great players :smugdraper:
What would have happened if Grant Hill never got hurt? What would have hapenned if Kenny Andersron never got hurt? David Robinson. Penny Hardaway. D-Wade. T-Mac. List goes on and on...

Bottom line, injuries are part of the game. We can fantasize all we want but thats just "keeping it real" with you

yeah cause a healthy drose(MVP) improving his game the last 3-4 years along with butler and pau and some shooters couldn't win the east. :upsetfavre: And if they kept thibs too. How many healthy years did he have? 2 or3


Get Lebrons dikk out of your mouth. The only once in a lifetime player to run away to another city with other stars to win(and lose). :mjlol: Then come home and lose while you still have two stars:troll:

Not to mention a healthy drose would've attracted better free agents so the team might look even better. But like I said it's what COULD of been.

the homerism and stupidity in this post :russ: You seriously saying he should have stayed with the cavaliers just because he was already there and the best teammate he ever had was mo Williams? You gonna ignore how massive a handicap having erik spoelstra as a coach is? the bulls never sign top tier free agents, and their owner is never willing to pay the tax anyway. bron owns the bulls. always has and always will :yeshrug:. Besides, pau was basically a lock to come to Miami had LeBron stayed anyway :heh:.

Butler exploded and got the keys to the offense because Rose went down. He might not have done the same if Rose was still there.

And healthy Rose is still ten times worse than 2nd year Lebron? Butler wasn't good enough yet when Rose was healthy when the Heat were in top form. Y'all never had a chance against any of the Heat or Playoff Lebron, Rose or not.

And who cares? They're still not better than any team out of the West even with Gasol, Rose, or Butler. Thibs would get out coached by Pops with no problem.

lebron > Bulls

They had no chance to knock out the Big 3 Heat, the Spurs, Thunder, or Gasol. Rose's best year is a meh Lebron year.

adding rip gave the 2011-12 bulls a shot on the offensive end that they didnt have the year before. so say rose is 100% going into that conference finals and bosh misses the first 4 games like he did vs the celtics and is only able to come off the bench for a few minutes in game 5 assuming theres a game 5 that would be in chicago. still think chicago has no chance?

if they win they have homecourt in the finals vs okc. i like their chances especially with perkins probably playing over 30 minutes a game. that year was their best shot all things considered.

He would be the best point guard in the league I feel if he would have never got hurt. Rose was already at that level at 22. Just imagine how nice he would he have been right now at 27 with more experience. He could get to the rack at will and wasn't scared to jam it on your ass if you got in the way.
