Anyone want to talk about the game rather than the guy who is just pretending to be interested in other teams so he doesn't get LeBron like hate when he signs with the Knicks this off-season?
I know a lot of people hate to criticise the guy but Rose was bloody awful until that stretch in the 4th, he took 10 long two pointers during the game and hit none of them. It's a terrible shot that you don't want anybody taking unless it's wide open, least of all your point guard. He's shown signs of being better at creating shots for others this year but this game that wasn't on show. I've got no problem with Rose taking shots, but they have to be like what he got in the 4th, attacking rather than settling.
Deng had an off night too, his three just didn't look good nor did his free throws, he missed a few pretty badly. Really impressed the other guys stood up to carry the team when our best two offensive options couldn't hit anything, Taj Gibson's jumper is money so far this year, even if his post moves seemed to result in turnovers more often than scores.
And Noah yet again single handedly dominated the boards, the Bulls have won the rebounding battle every night so far. His numbers will come down when Boozer comes back but damn, the Bulls are surely going to be the best rebounding team in the NBA.
I don't know about anyone else, but I feel like this game sort of made up for the Knicks game, that game we probably should of won but they hit crazy shots, this game we couldn't hit a thing but somehow stayed in the game even with Melo having a good night. 3-3 start given the schedule and Boozer out isn't bad at all.
