The Chicago Bulls Thread - Feat best 3 guard rotation of ALL TIME

[domin8tors]

probably seen enough of the bulls this year to suggest that we are an offensive force. does anyone have concerns about our D though. the new style seems to be leaking points especially late in games ?

I have always loved D-Rose but this has me 50/50.

I understand the injury toll mentally and it now has him thinking that he doesn't have to go full speed anymore. He (Rose) can take a step back and play team basketball, instead of bursting to the rim and putting the body on the line....

On the other hand, The City, Fans and the basketball world have stuck by him and now he cant really be bothered in playing full time. I do believe if you aren't putting in 100% then you shouldn't be out there...It has me questioning if Rose is putting 100% when out on the court.

In saying all of the above....What does Rose owe anybody? He owes Nothing imo. If he doesn't want to play then move on so someone else can come in and shine.

Rose should not be allowed to speak to the media. Ever.

The kid is not the sharpest took in the shed and I think that he often says things in the worst way possible. He's not exactly articulate.

He's my favourite player in the league, but he should not talk.

You think he just got his words wrong...I like the way you think

How about a new TV show

"Derrick Rose says the darndest things"

 

[jod23]

Storm in a teacup. Obviously when he is on the floor, he gives 100% commitment. I think all his words were taken out of context and im not worried about it.

Started well against the Raptors. Second quarter so far has been horrible. Turnover after turnover.

 

[bkozican]

Rose shooting Josh Smith numbers at the moment

 

[RoosterLad]

That Gasol chap is proving to be a handy pick up.

 

[jod23]

Pau kept us in it for a while there until our defence turned up. He is going to be a great pick up all season.

 

[kane249]

Rose hamstring injury *sigh*

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Great win today, best win of the year, third quarter was brilliant once we reigned in the turnovers.
Pau was ridiculous, D looked more like last year in patches, rookies struggled.
Gee it's a roller coaster with D Rose, every minute is heart in mouth stuff.
Hamstring is better than a knee, but without his speed we become more workman like...

 

[jod23]

He is playing it down now like it was more cramping in his thigh. Will have an MRI but he has said he wants to practice tomorrow.

 

[stewie griffen]

Minor hamstring, day to day...

Although so was lu with a spinal tap

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

We are having trouble getting going against the mediocre teams, lose 99-90 to the Pacers at home, disappointing after the great win in Toronto, Jimmy was the only one who got going with a career high 32 points on 10/17 shooting.

Dropped one to Boston at home as well (although they pushed the Cavs yesterday)

I agree with Noah regarding the hysteria re D.Rose and that it is smart to manage him and be conservative with him for all injuries, the tough bit is how much he is missed when he doesn't play.

Big road trip coming up - Go Bulls.

I officially can not stand kirk

Just a nothing game, over dribbling, horror shooting...

Sigh

I actually dislike him as a person now. That's what its come to.

Ditto.

My man-crush for Jimmy Butler grows by the minute, though.

 

[domin8tors]

anyone else concerned with the lack of D this year. ?

 

[hayes]

Not at all. A lot of new faces, as long as Thibs is our coach it will come.

 

[jod23]

Yeah exactly. Not too worried.

Annoyed to drop bunnies at home against a depleted Celtics and Pacers though. We should be 9-1 instead of 7-3. Tough road trip coming up. Wonder how much Rose will play.

Wish I could find the article. I read it about how Noah is better off starting with Mirotic and then Gasol leading the second unit with Gibson. as those pairs compliment each other more so then the current line up. and after today's game seeing our performance without Gasol we actually won the board count which is almost a first this season. I know that it's early on and the team still needs to learn the ropes but I think that Thibs should tinker with the line up a little

I doubt Gasol would ever drop to the bench. He has started the season extremely well but you are right, we havent won many rebounding battles this season. We did today.

It's just a matter of structuring the sub patterns so gasol comes off after 6, then Noah rests to start the second and we play pau for 6 and so on

Bulls weeeein!
