<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Chicago Bulls</a> have been playing well without <span>Derrick Rose</span> this season, but as the playoffs approach the timetable for running with a full roster is rapidly dissipating. Rose missed his 24th game on Monday night (sore foot), which can be added to an alarming network of injuries that include turf toe, a strained groin, a sprained ankle and back spasms. <span>Luol Deng</span> also sat out with what head coach <span>Tom Thibodeau</span> called a rib injury, even though he is also dealing with torn ligaments in his left wrist. <span>Richard Hamilton</span> scored 22 points and looked at close to healthy as he may get before the playoffs, but a depleted roster contributed to a disappointing 87-84 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a>. </p>
<p>In the post-game press conference Thibs addressed all of these issues and more, and used the phrase "do your job" more than once to sum up Monday night's failure. Here is <a href="http://www.csnchicago.com/pages/video?PID=rqugehLhQ04tAnfmZ099TG9Ve9LgmD73" target="_blank">Thibs giving it to the media straight, via CSN-Chicago</a>.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Chicago Bulls</a> played without All-Stars Derrick Rose and <span>Luol Deng</span> on Monday at the United Center, and it showed. The Bulls fell to the lowly <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a> 87-84. <span>C.J. Watson</span> had a great look at a three-pointer to send the game to overtime as the clock expired, but the shot missed and Washington grabbed an unlikely victory. The win moves the Wizards to 15-46. Chicago falls to 46-15.</p>
<p>Forward <span>Kevin Seraphin</span> finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks to propel the Wizards. <span>John Wall</span> had 16 points and five assists for Washington. <span>Maurice Evans</span> added 14 points off the bench for Washington.</p>
<p><span>Richard Hamilton</span> finished 9-of-20 from the field to score a team-high 22 points for Chicago. Hamilton also added fie rebounds and five assists on the night. <span>Carlos Boozer</span> had 16 points and 13 rebounds in the loss. Watson finished with 17 points and eight assists.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Chicago Bulls</a> are playing without their two All-Stars tonight against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a>, and so far, it's clearly showing. A sloppy first half has mercifully come to an end at the United Center with Chicago trailing Washington 43-39.</p>
<p>Forward <span>Kevin Seraphin</span> leads Washington with 10 points and six rebounds, five of them coming on the offensive end. Washington's starting backcourt of <span>John Wall</span> and <span>Jordan Crawford</span> each finished the half with seven points. Rookie forward <span>Jan Vesely</span> has six points, three rebounds, and two steals for the Wizards at the half.</p>
<p><span>Carlos Boozer</span> and <span>Richard Hamilton</span> each have nine points for Chicago. Boozer has added six rebounds and has done his offensive damage on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. <span>Taj Gibson</span>, <span>Joakim Noah</span>, and <span>Ronnie Brewer</span> each have four points for Chicago.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blogabull.com/">Chicago Bulls</a> are without both <span>Derrick Rose</span> and Luol Deng Monday night, but they shot a solid 55% from the field in the first quarter anyway, and they hold a 23-19 lead over the visiting <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a>.</p>

<p>They were hampered by seven turnovers in the quarter, however, and that issue has limited their opportunities to put some distance between themselves and the Wizards.</p>
<p><span>Richard Hamilton</span> leads the way for Chicago with nine points on 4-6 shooting from the field. <span>Carlos Boozer</span> has six points and three boards, while <span>C.J. Watson</span> has three assists.</p>

The injury occurred when F <span>Charlie Villanueva</span> delivered a hard foul on Rose late in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>After the game, Rose explained a bit of his frustrations:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>"It’s basketball. Hit me in my face. I think he didn’t go for the ball. Whatever they called it, they called it for a reason," he said. "I was mad. Sick and tired of people trying to take cheap shots at me. I’ve got to say something.</p>
<p>"I really don’t know [why he gets cheap-shotted by opponents]. Probably because I don’t say anything, but I’m a man. Situations like that, you have to say something," he continued. "You’ve got to. He didn’t even aim for the ball. At least aim for the ball. I felt like he didn’t and that’s the reason why I got mad a little bit."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Derrick Rose currently leads the Bulls with 22.5 points and 7.9 assists per game, despite struggling with injuries for the majority of the season.</p>
