[Rush]

The Bulls dominated the Wizards pretty thoroughly in their first home preseason game this season to capture their first win. Derrick Rose and John Wall had a great duel, both playing well, and especially went at each other at...

Rose with 18 and 5 assists.

Good win, but it's just a home/pre-season win against a Wizard team that hasn't played much together. They really did a great job on both ends, but we all should remember that the Wizards are, and will continue to be, a very bad defensive team.

Asik with 10 rebounds and Korver adds 17 points in 19 minutes.

Yeah, Kyle Korver is looking deadly out there. I'm starting to like the idea of giving him dominant minutes over C.J. Watson. Especially with Bogans being as solid as he is.

People shouldn't sleep on Kurt Thomas either. The guy did a great job filling in for Bogut last year, and forced ATL to a 7-game series in the 1st round. I'm really liking the depth on the roster.

I hope Weaver and Lucas III don't make the roster... I'd actually rather have Scalabrine.

I agree on the Scal thing man I'd like to see him on the roster.

Korver > Watson

This preseason

Korver > Watson

That was expected man.

I try to avoid saying "this guy is better than that guy," but I do believe that Watson is ultimately going to have a more involved role for the Bulls than Korver will. I think Watson will edge KK in minutes.

Hmmm I don't know man I believe Korver will play a huge role for us. Of course he can shoot the ball better then anyone we have but his D has improved from past seasons I noticed.

 

[Bullsman24]

meh idk i think we can get away just using watson as a backup point. so rotations would look like:

PG: Rose (38), Watson (10)
SG: Brewer (30), Korver (18)
SF: Deng (36), Korver (12)

i just think we're gonna try to get korver out on the floor with rose as much as possible.

just speaking of korver, i forget who we just signed. did we just sign ray allen cuz this man is making anything he touches! not as much in the dallas game (he did have some nice shots) but he just dominated the other two games.

important to note is that the mavs played their starters through the whole fourth quarter so korver was going up against the mavs best defender during the fourth. obviously korver won't be guarded by someone that good usually because he won't be the best player in the lineup

Thibodeau is using Korver just like Ray Allen, and it's showing to be a really good role for him. He has such a quick release on his shot, it's really nice to watch.

Korver's shot is just a thing of beauty. Fred must be fantasizing about him already. xD But seriously, Korver in a Ray Allen role in this offense makes him a pretty deadly option if he's out there with Rose and Boozer. It's going to be so fun to watch.

i'm kinda hoping cj watson gets traded after a couple months. he's absolutely terrible. i'd rather have weaver and korver out there.

korv3r is my 3rd favorite bull. i love this guy.

why? i thought he was a complete train wreck
