Door was wide open for the Bulls because Jason Terry broke his hand and Dallas was off a bit. Really, the Bulls should have won it in regulation and Rose was the goat here because he let Jason Kidd hit an open three pointer when that was about the only thing that could keep the Mavs in the game. Can't be too hard on Rose though because overall he played well and far outplayed Kidd.
Gordon was hitting some shots from outside and Tyrus played well offensively. Deng was wretched, especially during the stretch. The big problem was defensively, as the Bulls couldn't come up with any stops in OT. As usual, the opposing teams front court gets to feast - in this case, Dirk Nowitzki. Now Dirk can be a handful for good defensive teams too, so I could somewhat excuse his 44 points, but the Bulls had to put Noc on him because Tyrus and Noah can't guard anyone, and that isn't going to make the Bulls winners.
The east is wide open at the bottom of the playoff hunt, so the Bulls could still sneak in. It's a false goal though because this team isn't going anywhere. So, Bulls fans can only wait and hope for the roster blow-up.
