Rose has the mid range jumper down, he's gonna be averaging 25+ once he's able to hit some three's.

The confidence of our team on offense is so high right now.

Rose has been great in the early moments. 6 points, 3 assists, one being on an alley oop to Joakim Noah.

Ben Gordon had an alleyoop...kind of, to Tyrus Thomas too.

The Bobcats remind of me of how we used to play when Skiles was running the team or 04-06. They aren't pretty offensively, but they crash the boards and play hard on defense.

Tyrus may be one of the worst finishing big men in the league, and even worse when you consider how athletic he is.

Rose with another terrific dish on a fast break. I wonder if D.J. Augustin is having a flashback from the Texas-Memphis elite 8 game right now.

It seems like only Rose and Noah have come to play. Rose seems like he wants to finish this game early so he can sit his ass down and rest.

He is. But he was working on finishing with David Thorpe last summer, so I think they'd probably work on the same thing this summer, and with enough practice, Thomas should become a better finisher.

I really wish Gordon would cut down on his, "I think it's about time when I should get a shot up" type of shots. I mean, going one on one is a part of his game, but he should never be allowed to do it unless there is less than 10 seconds left in the shot clock, his last shot was way too quick and it was contested, just a silly shot.

The main reason for it is because of his lack of strength, which makes it easier for opponents to put him off balance. And he just doesn't have strong hands to control the ball whilst absorbing contact.

If Tyrus can't simply go up and dunk it, he has all kinds of trouble scoring down low since he has no fade away. That's the one thing that Drew Gooden had in his offensive game that I was hoping he could teach to Tyrus. I thought I read somewhere that he was giving tips on how to play defense. That was probably a very short tutorial.

It might be time for Salmons to put the 3 point shot in the bag for awhile, and attack the basket because he has had at least 3 open 3 point shots he just flat out missed, he needs to mix it up a little more and just drive it hard, maybe that way he can get his rythme back.
