Nate Robinson! 23 points in the 4th quarter!!!
Triple OT win by the Bulls in by far most entertaining game of the playoffs.

CJ Watson could have put the Nets up 16 with a wide-open dunk and a little over 3 min remaining. Instead he did this:

The Nets should be flat out embarrassed to only win by 3 points tonight. The Bulls were completely decimated by illness & injury.

And of course Derrick Rose chose not to play again. It's been what, 3 months since he was medically cleared to return? Who was the last player of his caliber that *voluntarily* sat out this long? Kobe's gonna be back before D. Rose at this rate...

A win is a win. Also don't attack D Rose, the bulls aren't going to win regardless of whether he is there or not so why risk re injuring your star?

I think its time for him to be called out. The Bulls were the second best team in the East last season with him, so saying they wouldnt win regardless is a bit presumptuous. He got cleared around the ASB. The fact that he's still not on the court when he could have come back and made them a contender is inexcusable, in my opinion. Bringing him back now would be a mistake, but he should have been on the court two months ago.

I agree if his initials would be LBJ. We would hear about how he's selfish, immature, and doesn't want to win. This pass, is actually, perplexing to me.

Remember Rose has been much more humble than LBJ since entering the league. That is why he gets a pass. Though I think he is just mentally afraid right now.

I disagree completely. There is no difference between the way either have acted. The media falls over everything Lebron does, that is the only difference.

I think it's really unfair to expect Rose to come back before he's had an hour-long TV special where he's informed us of his decision of when he's going to return.

Rose just looks so bad refusing to play. Iman Shumpert, who had the same injury in last season's playoffs, came back in JANUARY!

Part of Rose's rehab was to start playing in games. As ordered by doctors. He's actually at less risk of injuring his knee than before he got hurt. Most players are desperate to get back on the court & have to be held back. (David Lee even tried to play last night). Not Derrick though!

You realize that Rose is the healthiest non-scrub on the Bulls? Half his team is dying:

Luol Deng got a spinal tap before the game & is in the ER today. Robinson was throwing up during the game & still forced to play 40+ minutes. Noah's been ignoring doctors' minutes limits, playing on 1 foot & giving his all. Kirk Hinrich gutted out a triple OT game & played 60 minutes that day, but just couldn't go last night. Taj was sick & useless. And so on...

A cleared to play Derrick Rose can't give them even 10 minutes?
