Marco Bellinelli and Nate Robinson started off slowly last year and people swore up and down that the Bulls would be a lottery team without Rose. Chill.

Yeah -- there's ledge jumpers every year. Typically it waits until the circus trip...but I guess the clowns are out early this year. :shrug:

I think it was until we got Rose that the Bulls are always under .500 on that circus road trip after Jordan retired (and some years didnt even win one game).

There are a lot of road games here in November, so coupled with Rose trying too hard and the rest of the team not really in sync yet, this is what we get.

With the way Rose played in preseason, though I knew it meant little, I wasn't expecting the turnovers to be like they are. Before preseason I figured Rose would take November to adjust because he would absolutely just try entirely too hard to prove he can still play at 2010-2011 level. So far that does seem to be the case. Also he seems to can't make the cuts exactly as well as he was before. I dont know if thats just adjusting/rust/or his knee doesnt allow it anymore. I'm not sure.

Not just last year, but the season before the bench surprised me. That has been one of the better things about Gar/Pax. They just need to work that same magic on the starting 5, which so far has been missing. In a league FULL of guys that would love to do nothing but jack up shots, we can't find a starting 2 guard, go figure.
