3. Injury

Every Bulls fan holds their breath whenever Rose falls to the floor and it’s for good reason. Rose has been injury prone since the 2011-2012 season when he tore his acl. That season he only played in 40 of 72 games. In the  2012-2013 season Rose did not play a single game. Rose returned for the 2013-2014 season but he tore the meniscus in his right knee which took him out of the remainder of the season. Rose tore his meniscus again this season and returned earlier this month. So while it is a long shot there is always a chance Rose will go down once again. If Rose does suffer another injury it could blow the door wide open for a Bucks playoff come back.

2. Momentum

The Bucks are coming off a huge win against the Bulls. They celebrated after their victory as if they had just won the NBA Finals. Their morale has to be at a series-high while the Bulls are probably feeling pretty salty about the loss. The Bucks can ride this momentum wave and turn the series around in their favor. If they can manage to take the wind out of the Bulls’ sails then they have a very good chance at taking the series.

1. A Miracle

The Bucks are attempting to do something no other team has done before. The odds are stacked against them. Their backs are against the wall. All signs point to the Bucks being knocked out of the playoffs. But maybe, just maybe, with a little help from the Big Man upstairs, the Bucks may just pull this one off.
