I think a lot of this is he is still gaining confidence in his body. I haven't seen him drive and use floaters, stop and fire a midrange shot, which is something he was literally lethal with early in his career. He also has gotten to the basket at times at will (when he wants to) but hasn't had the touch that he will gain. I've seen more to be excited about then not, but it is going to be a long process with the biggest factor being his health and staying on the court. If he can stay on the court and play, we will see him look more and more like the player of old. I don't think he'll be that exact same guy / as good this year, but I still think if he plays, we'll see a guy that by seasons end is 85 to 90% of the guy he was.

 

For me, the Rose of the last 5 games has looked like crap. The Rose in the 3 total games prior did not have trouble driving.

 

It has to be the hammy, and hammy's take forever. This just sucks.

Bulls look like a rec league team of 40 year olds playing high schoolers. Can't keep up with the speed. And Kirk doing his best to cost the Bulls another game.

 

Tired of Hinrich. I can take him for about 15 minutes a game but 30 is just way too much for him.

I have to admit, he has his moments. There have been a few times this year where he's been instant offense, hitting big threes. Or making a good defensive play. The game last week against the Mavericks, he makes the bone headed play at the end, but he made a ton of big shots to get the Bulls back in it in the 4th.

 

It's just the glaring mistakes. Mistakes veterans should not make. I think he had probably 4 TO's in the 4th quarter of the Warriors game. Just terrible passes and decisions. After about 2, I don't know why Thibs doesn't replace him. I guess since Brooks isn't a great defender. I'd like to see more Noah-Taj-Mirotic-Butler-Rose line-ups to close games. I feel like Hinrich and Gasol are too slow when you need a really big stop.

Ha Dennis Rodman bashing the Knicks...

 

"I learned that in probably 15 minutes when I was in Chicago," Rodman said. "It's not that difficult. It's a triangle."

 

And Dennis is not a smart man.

So the Knicks are absolutely terrible, and they all hate each other, and Melo wants to beat up Tim Hardaway because he shoots too much and doesnt play much defense, which the rest of the team also accuses Melo of(irony alert)

I'm loving this. This is what you get for chasing money Melo. Thinking that Knicks roster would amount to anything is ridiculous.

 

With Butler playing the way he is, I'm almost glad he didn't sign with the Bulls.

I only saw highlights last night but surprise more people weren't talking about Rose. Saw quite a few aggressive moves during the highlights.

 

Ha, it was the one game I think I've missed.

 

Was nice they had that 4 day rest for him/Taj. Now, granted Lopez was out, but apparently Gasol/Taj looked great.

I only get national games (decided not to buy package this year since so many games are nationally televised). Looking forward to catching Friday. I never watch live...always on tape delay so stay away from all sites on gamenight. Obviously had a shaky first half but Rose apparently led back the 1st half charge and than Taj / Pau dominated 2nd half. Thing I liked was Rose seemed to be consistently in the paint. Key is to stay on the court for him...more games he strings together, better condition he gets in, better timing, more confidence, etc.

I mean, at this point, you can just bank that if it's a game at home, it will be the bulls down like 10-2 or 12-4 within the first minute before adjusting.

I think we are getting close to going on a nice run. Say a win 12 of the next 15/16 type of run.

I hope so. Every time I see our record I think "we've lost 8 times?" and remember those terrible boston/pacer games.

I'm not worried about their record at all, just keep getting people healthy and Derrick up to speed. Toronto and Atlanta will fall back to the pack at some point, Cleveland is still the only team to worry about in this conference from a Bulls fans perspective(assuming a healthy team).
