Chisoxfn Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Rose needs to get back out there and more minutes but next year is the year that I expect Rose will take some major steps forward and ideally be closer to his MVP days than anything we have seen since. Rose was such a bad passer for most of this year, that I don't expect him to come back and be elite but I expect him to be focused and significantly improve our on the ball defense at the PG spot while also being able to help the overall pace of the offense. I would hope we get him back out on Friday against the Bucks and just ease him from a minutes perspective, although I presume it won't be until next week.

I've always enjoyed watching the Clips, but GS is pretty fun too. Not very hateable either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've really been historically dominant regular season wise. SRS (simple rating system) measures average point differential combined with strength of schedule. The Warriors are at 10.62. That's better than, and in most cases considerably better, than all the great Laker teams (including the Shaq/Kobe ones), all the great Spurs teams and LeBron's Heat. You've go to go back to the 1997 69-win Chicago Bulls to find a higher SRS. That team had a 10.70 SRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 So last night's game sucked. Really bad game from Thibs. If you had never watched an NBA game and asked "who doesn't belong", you would have said Aaron Brooks. He was forced into more minutes iwht kirk out (whom we looked better with at point). But I'd preferred MOore get more burn because he just doesn't turn it over like Brooks. That said, we should have lost, and easily could have won. HOrrendous FT % and 3pt %. Just an outlier game.

chw42 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Something really weird just happened in the Bulls game. The official blew the whistle and then JR Smith shot a 3. They counted the 3... Apparently, they blew the whistle because the shot clock didn't reset. Then you'd think the 3 wouldn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is crazy talented. He's not a guy that can flourish anywhere. But get him the right teammates, coach, system, etc - you got an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well, should be fun losing to LeBron in round two once again. Really should've dealt Noah after last year's peak season for assets. The Bulls would be foolish not to shop Gasol after his rebirth. He won't likely repeat this performance next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasol has a no trade clause. Also, good to know the regular season is only an indicator of the playoffs when the bulls lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody outside of the blindest of homers could look at these two teams and where they're at currently and think the Bulls can win. Those two trades earlier in the year locked up the east.

As good as the Cavs are offensively, they're not good defensively. Regardless of which rose gets back, Aaron Brooks is just not capable of defending or getting to his spots in the offense against 25/30 teams in this league. He is the worst PG we've had backup Rose since CJ Miles. The fairy dust is over, they need a legit backup since, they usually don't have a starter.

They're in the top 10 in defensive efficiency post-Mozgov last I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
