An iffy Rose could equal a short playoff run for Bulls

It's fitting that a final month of the regular season which really hasn't meant much to the Bulls ends tonight with a meaningless game against the Cavaliers.

Other than the best record in the NBA battle with the Spurs, there is absolutely nothing on the line tonight for the Bulls. They recently wrapped up home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference. The only drama left heading into the last of this season's many back-to-backs was whether the 76ers or Knicks would be the eighth seed and thus the Bulls' first-round opponent.

Coach Tom Thibodeau, who has irked some Bulls fans by playing his stars too much at times this season, would surely rest his starters last night at Indianapolis and again tonight with nothing on the line, right? Unfortunately it's not quite that simple for one Bull — and it's the Bull that matters most.
