the defense has been just fine....the turnovers are why the bucks have 51 points at the half....bucks have 17 points of turnovers

so that excuses rose for his? lol he looks great for the most part and its very encouraging but 3 turnovers in 12 min is way to high

Any turnover is way too high. Yes the team as a while was sloppy with the ball so I won't single out Rose, I will say the total team turnovers are way too high.

well ill put it to you like this....rose leads the team with 3 turnovers and he is supposed to be our "ball handler." and that's while playing less minutes than most everyone else. definitely an issue there. otherwise I like what I have seen from him so far

ESPN just stated the bucks are 2nd best defense in NBA? Surely, this cannot be true?

Aaron Brooks, our other, "ball handler has two. Again it does need to be corrected, but he is by far not the only one who has turned the ball over. So I wouldn't, at the moment, make an issue out of Rose's turnovers without addressing it as a total team issue.

Lol. I guess. And thanks for not ending your post "...don't call me Shirley". I thought it was pretty much guaranteed.

Well they were sloppy turnovers no doubt. The one where he dribbled off his foot probably won't happen again. I think Thibs will tell the team to stop running into Ilyasova so that charge probably won't happen again either. The one where he was stripped because he was triple teamed on a drive won't happen if the Bulls' offense adjusts to not stand around when Rose beats MCW off the dribble.

That said, the turnovers need to come down and very very few of them were actually forced. Milwaukee isn't down 20 already because of those turnovers and a handful of BS calls (though we did get a couple of them back) leading to FTs.

Serious foul trouble for the bucks. This should let the Bulls establish a bigger lead.

Bulls need to chill on those turnovers, that could've been a dagger 3

I see you Derrick

just cuz he hit em both doesn't mean they were both good shot choices. he still has no business shooting this many 3's IMO
