The Bulls are playing right now - Derrick Rose is sitting out resting his sore foot..

The Bulls got behind by 27 points in the mid-3rd quarter 69-42 - but have battled all the way to just a 11-pt deficit headed to the 4th quarter...77-66
Go Bulls - pull this one out!!!

The game is rapidly slipping away for the Bulls as they look completely out of sync in the 4th quarter. Bulls down 92-74 with 6:36 left.

The Bulls are down 19 with a little over 3 minutes left. They should have gone into a 2-3 zone!

Bulls run out of gas without Rose and lose by 16

And it's really the first game without Rose where the injury affected the team. Most of the other games without Rose were against garbage teams even though Memphis was 5-6 going into this game. However, Memphis is coming off a second round playoff appearance and upset of San Antonio last year, so they will probably get better as the season goes on.

I'm a little worried though that Rose's toe may give him more problems than most of us want.
