Previously reported to be working out in hopes of, at best, returning for the postseason, a comeback before the end of the regular season now appears to be on the table for Dwyane Wade. Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago recently wrote about how the Bulls are optimistic about the veteran’s progress.
“It’s a day by day thing with Dwyane now,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “He’s feeling better but obviously there’s a lot of work to do as far as getting his strength back.”
Fresh off of a four-game win streak, the Bulls now have a tenuous grasp on the Eastern Conference’s seven seed. With a distinct shot at competing in an unpredictable conference, the club would welcome the opportunity to get their offseason addition back into a routine prior to any official postseason action.
There’s more out of the Central Division:
- After a disappointing season in which he never quite replicated the impact he had on his team the previous year, Reggie Jackson has been bumped from the Pistons lineup. Per Aaron McMann of MLive, head coach Stan Van Gundy thinks that the decision to sit the guard should have come sooner. “I think [sitting him] probably should have happened earlier, and I don’t think we were real fair with him in that,” he said.
- The Pistons are aware that they face an uphill battle to sneak into the postseason but head coach Stan Van Gundy is eager to compete anyway. “Right now, you continue to fight,” Van Gundy told MLive’s Aaron McMann. “We know the deal. We’ve got a couple of teams — we pretty much have to go undefeated, and we need a couple of teams to lose three more games. It’s not easy, but nothing’s impossible in this league.“
- The reigning champion Cavaliers have hit some bumps in the road since the All-Star break. Tom Withers of the Denver Post wrote about how frustration on the court may be starting to seep into the locker room.
Why did they have to start playing good now? WHY?
This team isn’t built for the future, and even if they make the playoffs, they aren’t going anywhere.
A tank, and getting a top ten pick would’ve been great. Hopefully they still trade Butler and get 2 top 10 picks.
Agreed
Stop it I call that you a bull trumpster all about the lose
That’s because this team is garbage, aside from 2 or 3 of them. I think for the future. What will they accomplish by getting in the playoffs and losing in round 1? It’ll only set the franchise back. Shut them all down, just like the Lakers. If the rules still allow tanking, then take advantage of it.
Agree they should go for the better draft pick? Then suddenly I realize GARPAX will be making those draft decisions And I start lining up with the lemmings cause I be gone:) they trade 2 former first round choices for a bunch of nobodies but the one who is suppose to be the main piece of the trade is already in the D League. Did I mention that one of the first rounders they traded cost a total of 5 draft picks if you count the pick we had to send for them to take him off our hands? Go BLACKHAWKS
