Bulls Have Relied On Rose All Season, Same Goes For Game 4

CHICAGO (WSCR) Heading into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau will be faced with some tough lineup decisions. The Bulls have a roster filled with players either talented offensively or defensively, but few who are both.

"They also won 62 games and two playoff rounds with those same issues," K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, said on the Danny Mac Show. "To me, again I know it's putting a lot on a 22-year old kid, but he's the MVP and that's how they've won games a lot of the season, is Derrick [Rose] being dominant, at time, offensively. And thus far this series he has not been dominant offensively."

Rose looked frustrated for most of Games 2 and 3 of this series. He hasn't been able to get to, and finish at he rim like he did so brilliantly in the regular season.

"He's been double-teamed all season," Johnson said. "And there have been a lot of ways where he has been able to get past them and still be effective. And you're going to need to see that [Tuesday] night if the Bulls are going to win."
