I'm choosing to remain on the optimistic side of the 2013/14 coin here, but that one stung a little. However, can we all stop with the silly "Derrick Rose is terrible now" nonsense? Yes, he looks rusty, and is clearly not making good decisions at the end of games. But he's still one of the very best players in the NBA, and still capable of doing things no one else is capable of. And if you honestly think the Bulls would be better off with Nate Robinson as their point guard, then I honestly don't respect your basketball intelligence.
Derrick will be back to normal soon, once he's had a little more time to be back to game speed, and an early loss to the Sixers will not actually be the end of the season. I know it's not fun to lose 16 point halftime leads to really bad teams, but the Bulls will be OK. It's a long season everyone, the Bulls will still win 55 games and be one of the top 3 teams in the East.
- I'm a little more worried about the Bulls' depth. My Dunleavy pateience meter is getting very small, Kirk does not look good, I like Nazr but he isn't good for more than 8 minutes a game. I'd like to see TT work Tony Snell into the rotation a little more going forward. Theoretically, he's supposed to add 3 point shooting, which the Bulls have been awful at so far this year. So far they're 13-56 on the year, good for 23%.
-Speaking of Tony Snell,why not bring him in at the end when you need a 3 late? What are you hoping to accomplish by leaving Jo in the game there?
-I know it was probably moot at that point, but good job catching the ball, Dunleavy.
-I don't like this new, calmer, collected TT. While I do like that the rotations are under control more these days, I don't feel like a TT team from the past few years blows that game quite so easily. Also, how about some more actual plays? The offense is looking surprisingly Vinny-ish lately.
-Keep doing what you're doing, Boozer and JFB. Hopefully everyone will be on your level, soon.
