Thanks for the stream...but we had a 32 - 13 lead and now all of a sudden the MINNESOTA TWOLVES catch up and we are only up by four points "37 - 41." Ridiculous. The Bulls can't hold a lead to save anything. Come on Chicago.
Derrick Rose is just dominating on the offensive end of the ball. I can't wait to see him when he has a great offensive player next to him in Gordon. Rose is just so fun to watch.
We lose. Minnesota came back from a nice 19 point lead to win the war by 10 points. The Bulls are hella lucky these games don't count. We look really bad, but props to Corey Brewer, he had a great night. On our squad, Drew Gooden stood out the most and had a great game...If he can continue to develop his jumper, we will have a nice European style player on our squad....but as a whole, Minnesota made us look like scrubs. Haven't had a good game, just a good quarter and then we fall over. The Bulls need more consistent jump shooting for DRose to be even the slightest bit effective. It can't just be Ben Gordon. Even Gordon gets a bit streaky at times, but is still our best jump shooting scoring threat. On another note, maybe Vinny should help the Bulls (as a whole) develop a slashing game so that we can have a better chance of winning and maximizing DRose.
The thing about Gordon, is that he was streaky (but less streaky) than everyone else, while seeing doubles. We haven't really seen Gordon wide open much, this season will be uncharted territory with Gordon. Nocioni looked great tonight catching and shooting those Rose passes. I am really impressed with Rose so far. He is ready to go to day one, and I will be upset if he isn't getting 30+ MPG from the get go, because he is just so much better of a player than Kirk Hinrich.
