Torn left ACL for Rose. This from Bulls PR

Bulls have just become possible second-round fodder. Now it'll be between the Heat and Celtics out East.

[Mugen]

Stay healthy, San Antonio.

Official - Rose out for the playoffs.

WTF is everybody so scared of Miami for? Yes they a good team that plays great defense at times but damn, we are a damn good team as well. If Dallas took them out last year, why can't we? We are shooting just as well as Mavs were in the playoffs last year.

Mostly due to the whistle

If he heard a pop then it's 100% season over.

I agree.

The Spurs actually probably have a better chance against the Heat than the Bulls. The Bulls defense will destroy their offensive flow. The Heat on the other hand have zero inside presence.

Really sucks for the Bulls and for basketball.

Bad day for knees -- as bad as Rose's looked, Shumpert's actually looked even worse.

You hit the nail on the head right there thats one of the reason I like the spurs chances against the heat they have no shotblockers for ginobili or parker or even some of or other players who can go inside and play.

[Keepin' it real]

I welcome the opportunity to do to Miami what the Mavs did last year, but to do it even better!

The Heat now have the world's easiest road to the Finals.

Knicks -> Pacers -> Celtics or Rose-less Bulls

Tbh, I'm not sure anyone outside of the Heat or Bulls makes the playoffs in the West . . .

This sucks for rose and bulls tbh, damn

[Sec24Row7]

Yuck that sucks for Chicago..

I think the Celtics would slip in Dallas-style and be one of those veteran first-round draws that none of the high seeds want to play. Pacers are probably a notch below the Jazz.

This is great news for Spurs fans. It means the Bulls are not making the Finals, and the Spurs would have home court against every other team; therefore, if the Spurs make the Finals, they will have home court. Yay.

It sure would be nice if we had an elite perimeter defender, though. Danny and Kawhi are sound defenders, but I don't know that they're ready for 7 games of LeBron and Wade.
