Felix Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That Clippers team has some good starters (and I know they were missing Billups tonight), but holy jesus are they thin. That's going to get exploited big time during this condensed schedule. Randy Foye, Brian Cook and Ryan Gomes are three of their first four off the bench? Ugh.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Didn't catch the last 3 1/2 quarters or so. Going by the boxscore, it looks like the Bulls were pretty impressive. 3-1 so far in games all on the road in less than a week is certainly nothing to be upset about. Oh, and Rose needs to follow LeBron's lead and just abandon the three. LeBron looks more unstoppable than he ever has now that he's not letting defenses off the hook with 3's and long jumpers (he's taken one 3 in 4 games so far). Rose could be similarly unstoppable if he does the same consistently. Edited December 31, 2011 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose could be similarly unstoppable if he does the same consistently. In a shortened season, I'm not sure I want to see Derrick exhaust himself by driving on almost every isolation. I'd love to see that during the playoffs, but after seeing what happened to Derrick last season, I'd rather have him ease off the accelerator a bit this season. Oh and Rip Hamilton needs to learn how to shoot again. He's missing almost all of his long-range shots. His TS% so far looks abysmal (I think it's like .450). I'm sure he'll break out of this slump, but he's not doing anything well right now except leaking out on fast breaks. Also, Ronnie Brewer is 3/3 from 3 this year. It looks like he really worked on that during the off-season. Good for him, if Rip keeps sucking, he can have more of Rip's minutes.

But the Heat aren't going to start out 8-7 this time around. They're 4-0 and look worlds better than they did early last year. I'd love to see Derrick not have to do as much. But that's simply not realistic. I guess what I'm saying is the Bulls need that #1 seed again if they have any chance of beating Miami in a 7 gamer.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I agree that Rose sometimes shoots too many 3s but he's improving and if he ever gets a consistent outside shot, he'll be virtually ungaurdable.I don't mind him trying to improve his long range jump shot.

chw42 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Rose tonight: 42 minutes 8-14 for 57% fg% 3-4 on 3 pointers 10-11 from the line 8 rebounds 16 assists 1 steal 29 points PER 37.81 TS% 79.69% Game Score 32.6 (absolutely insane) Offensive Rating 149.48 DRose has had two absolutely insane games so far. He had a 88% TS against the Lakers and now he pulls off an 80% TS game. The fact he had 16 dimes along with almost 30 points is incredible.

Yeah, Charlotte sucks. If Wade has a bad night, the Heat aren't going to win by much, even against the bad teams. Wade's been somewhat off the past two games and they've barely won against Charlotte and Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
