Big blow to the Bulls to lose their best defender, especially with having to defend Melo and Bron in the first 2 games.

Bulls might struggle until Christmas or so with having to integrate Rose, and now Butler back into the lineup.

Kinda odd, considering he was a game time decision for tonight and has been doing some shooting.

I think he will play in 2 weeks...

Nah, I think the Bulls knew he was gonna be out for a while prior to tonight.

After the Rose situation, I doubt they are gonna push to get guys back quickly.

Pity too... Butler was the Bulls best player in preseason.

This has been known since before the last preseason game. I hope they shut him down until healed. Don't need a repeat of Deng with his wrist from a few years back.

Yea...

But he was still a gametime decision for tonight and did some shooting earlier in the week.

He won't miss more than 2 weeks. Not a big deal.

And Butler is a game time decision tonight... Participated in shoot around.

And also rejected the Bulls final offer... Supposedly it was really low.

Rose just stepped on someone's ankle, he might take 20-30 games off

You mean Thibs shouldn't play him 49 minutes per game?

Does thibs even care about his players health?

He plays his guys into the fricking ground I swear.

The other night Noah was on a 32 minute limit after going through back surgery in the off season. What does thibs do? Let's him play 35 minutes and then sits him for most of OT until they are losing and then puts him back in!!! Like really man?

Noah had a relatively minor knee surgery in May...

Never understood why announcers can't do a tiny bit if homework before a game. They have interns that can do that shite too.
