Last season Rose was awful in the second game of a back to back. He missed training camp. Will be interesting to see how they look tonight.
The minutes distribution will be just as interesting as the outcome of the game IMO. Will Pau get lots of rest? Will Portis see the floor? Will Kirk come in and do 10 minutes of dirty work? Or will things basically march on unchanged?
Bulls are shooting 56%, but so are the Nets. It's a bold new world. It'll take me some time to adjust to it.
