I'm not seeing the issue with the Gordon/Rose back court. They scored 50 points and got 6 assists combined and the Bulls won. When it came to the end of the game, Gordon had the ball to be fouled, and Rose had the ball to kill the clock. In fact, I think you might have a hard time finding more than a handful of better back court duos (in no particular order): NJ: Carter/Harris San Antonio: Parker/Ginobili Atlanta: Johnson/Bibby Phoenix: Nash/Richardson And the Bulls. EDIT Boston: Rondo/Allen LA: Kobe/anyone else Probably missing some team, but we're up there.
Looks to me like the entire team is shoot first: Rose, Gordon, Noc, Hughes, Gooden. Hinrich and Deng move the ball, but that's about it.
I think Gordon creates more than Rose. Rose gets Kirk Hinrich style assists...actually Hinrich was getting the same amount or more assists in less minutes than Rose is getting now. I still have skepticism whether Rose will ever be much of a creator. I don't know who Rose really reminds me of at this point. He reminds me in style of Wade, but Wade is a much better passer than Rose.
Rose does his fair share of creating but the Bulls do a lot of missing. We need a team that can play with intensity more often....we get an intense Bulls team at most two games in a row and then we play terrible.
