    With their star sidelined all season and just about everyone else in their rotation banged up at some point, the Chicago Bulls did not take the easy road to the playoffs.

    They got there, though -- even if the outside expectations are a little lower this time.

    Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 15 rebounds and the Bulls locked up the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 95-92 victory over the Washington Wizards in the regular-season finale Wednesday night.

    Boozer's last regular season game as a Bull?

    I don't think so. I think he's here for one more year and then off to make room for Mirotic.

    They wouldn't let Asik walk, either :)

    To get back to the original subject matter of the thread.....

    This season has been more disappointing than pleasing due to injuries, but if you would have told me that Derrick wouldn't come back all season and every other starter less Boozer would've missed significant amounts of time throughout the season, I would've said 45 wins and a 5 seed is pretty good.

    Not what I hoped for, but pretty good considering what we put out on the floor.

    Not sure what we're capable of in the playoffs, but.....

    I'll Play These.

    In 5 for the Bulls. IFF Kirk stays healthy all series. Else, in 7.

    I would like to believe this, but I can't see the Bulls winning a 7 game playoff series without a healthy Jo and Derrick.
