Rose and Deng shouldn't have to play 43 minutes to beat the Pistons. Not sure wtf the Pistons are thinking by fouling to extend the game with 30 seconds left down by 13.
Korver is in a big slump, I hope he isn't hurt. They need to start running plays for him like they were a month ago to force him to get into a rhythm. Playing Deng and Rose this much isn't going to work.
Rose 29/7 assists/2 steals/1 block Boozer 27/11 Deng 17/8/3 steals Brewer 11/6 assists/3 steals/1 block
That has crossed my mind as well. We need Kyle to bring his offense most nights if we want to make some real noise in the playoffs
Yeah, this team won't make it out of the first round if they don't get scoring from more than Rose/Deng/Boozer. But on the plus side, the bulls found one guy that Bogans can lock down...
Nice win. Once again, sometimes in Jan you come out lethargic. They turned it on in the 3rd to blow the Pistons away. This team seems to play to the level of the competition of late. Rose is getting to the line like a champ now. He has that superstar quality of improving his game when there are deficiencies. No 3 point shot? OK, I'll develop that. His D is better than last year. Now he's getting to the line. 10, 19 and 9 FTAs the last 3? Nice.
Consider how lucky we are. It's like we have two teams to watch...the first half Bulls who we swear and yell at providing an outlet for our built up frustrations of the day and the second half team that provides the happy ending which sends us to bed with smiles on our faces.
