If Rose hadn't missed several games, where would the Bulls be right now? He really carries them.

7th spot

Look at the games DR1 missed.

@ Orlando (played only a few min).
@ Miami
@ Memphis
@ Dallas
Cleveland

All of those were losses. Noah was also missing for all of them, and the Bulls were in the middle of a 10 game no-Noah losing streak.

Which one of those losses might we have won if DR1 had played? Optimistically, maybe Miami and Memphis.

If you give the Bulls 2 more wins, they're still 1/2 game out of the 8th spot in the East.

Now, if both Rose and Noah were nearly 100%...Now we're talking in a playoff position.
