It tough to tell with King and Funk being such homers, but this might be the worst officiated game of the last few years.
Good win. Hinrich was fantastic. 31 points on 8/14 shooting and 5/8 from deep. Not to mention some terrific aggressive Defense with 4 steals. Deng a solid night with 21 points and 8 rebounds. Tyrus is starting to stumble a bit from his prior stellar play. Hopefully he can pick it up again before we start blaming all the trade talk (just like with the non-Kobe trade and how it supposedly affected Gordon and Hinrich last year). Rose was solid. 18 points with 9 assists. Still, a bit high with the TOs at 7. Gordon did his damage early, but still ended up with 18 points on 6/15 shooting. I really hate Richard Jefferson because he always kills the Bulls. Today was no exception as he dropped 32 points. Same old Skiles, burying poor rookie Joe Alexander on the bench. Wonder if he would have started Rose from day one?
He picked it up in the fourth and had a very good quarter. I'd be shocked if it wasn't still 2 steps forward 1 step back with him for a while.
