The 76ers have started game 4 very strong and are looking to make this series an upset. It's been tough luck for the Bulls with Rose being out for the playoffs and now Noah injured this game. I thought, along with many, that they were a strong favorite to win the East and go into the finals with a real chance at seeing a title win, but it's starting to look like they will not get past the first round. I don't mean to take away anything from Philly because they have been playing really well and are working for the wins.

Philadelphia wins. Any team that Rose is by far their best player then go Rose-less in game 1 in the playoffs will not win.

the playoff between the top seed and the eight-seed in the eastern conference has become a reverse when the star player and main man of the chicago bulls got injured. the sixers now have the advantage as it plays the bulls. it is likely that the sixers will advance to the second round. it is hard for the bulls to get deeper in the playoff without rose in the line-up, and now, noah is injured too.

I'm a Spurs and Bulls fan, so naturally I wanted to see the Bulls go farther than they did. I felt they were the only team in the Eastern conference that could knock off Miami. Rose going down, along with Noah and Deng not being 100 percent really hurt the Bulls. It's always tough when these type of injuries happen during the playoffs. I kinda felt like it was going to happen to Rose though. He's been battling nagging injuries all season. I give the Sixers a lot of credit as well. Hopefully the Bulls can get healthy over the off season, and come back strong next season.

The upset is complete. Tough to lose quality players to injuries like that. Not good for basketball. I'm not a Bulls fan but I'm not happy to see them exit the playoffs this way. Knicks got bit pretty hard by injuries as well. Stoudamire's hand was pretty stupid though. He did not have a good series there and will have a whole summer to think about it. If they hang onto Lin their future is bright though.
