You can win regular season games simply by outworking your opponent. The Bulls are a young team looking to make a statement. For a lack of a better phrase, they don't know any better. Teams like the Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, Heat, etc know that nothing in the regular season defines them. They went through phases where they simply lost interest Bulls never really had stretches like that.

Rose is their primary scorer and facilitator of their offense. In the playoffs teams are too good defensively to let one man beat them. It just can't be done 4 times in one series. Nobody on the Bulls can consistently get their own shot. That's an issue. How many times last night did the Bulls force it out of Joe's hands only to have Crawford light them up?

The Bulls bench depth really isn't a big deal come post season time your rotation is shrunk down to 8 guys (for the most part). Superstars are playing 40+ a night. Your best players are playing a lot more minutes, they have an even bigger impact on the game in the post season .

Now there's a report out that Rose did everything in practice and there's no swelling..... Just going to have to wait and see I guess.

For the guys saying the Hawks cant keep shooting this way:

In fact, is there really any regression to the mean going on at all? During the regular season, the Hawks shot 43 percent from 16-23 feet as a team. That led the league. During the playoffs, Atlanta has hit 72 of their 186 shot attempts from that same range. Pull out a calculator, and you'll find that's ... just under 39 percent. In this supposed unsustainable hot streak of shooting, the Hawks are somehow managing to shoot worse from mid-range than they did in the regular season?

Now, I could make the argument that, against playoff caliber defenses like the one that Chicago owns, such inefficiency won't scale and I would expect the Hawks to shoot worse against heavier competition. Except that they shot better from mid-range against both Orlando and Chicago during the regular season meetings than they have so far in the playoffs.
