Nate might choose to not make his first start the second game of a back to back. I'll guess that he starts our next home game after that on the 24th. That would be fun, that's the next game I have tickets to.
I hope he gets played for 20 min. I bet RUDY will be on fire. ROY played his guts out against GSW so I doubt hes going to be ontop of his game.
Im not saying Oden isnt ready by any means BUT...watch out for Derrick Rose. If DR gets by Blake and Roy (which will happen...a lot) the Greg better worry about getting into foul trouble trying to help out. I think Rose could be the fastest player in the league, with or without the ball. Dude can FLY!
I'm hoping that Nate finally gives Jerryd Bayless some run at point guard ... I'm not saying he's going to be able to keep Rose in front of him all night long, but he's a ball-hawk and might slow him down some ... on second thought we might be better served to have Nicolas Batum and his 7'4" wingspan guarding a burner like Rose?
I hear ya but I just dont know it will help all that much. He went 25/9 against us. I would consider double teaming him which will make somebody else beat you and slow down their offense
I see us putting Rudy on him for much of the game. Having Rose try to chase Rudy around all night should at least help to slow him down. That being said, he's the best player on the Bulls, so I'm not too stressed about stopping him. Damn. One more ping-pong ball and he was ours.
If Rose gets 26 and 10, but no one else on the team lights it up, Chicago looses. I would prefer Portland stays at home on the Perimeter guys. Their inside players are not that big an offensive threat, so our bigs can be really aggressive off of picks.
