Funk needs to reel him in.

[SpongeWorthy]

Rose doesn't need a screen.

[Careless]

Did boozer just accidentally steal a ball?

14-6 without noah

 

probably only about 10 games left without him

[bcl412]

9-0 against the division and 3.5 games behind Boston and 1 game behind Miami. Considering the injuries and no shooting guard I'll take it.

[Careless]

I think 46.5 is just about perfect.

 

18/1 to win the title is what seems crazy to me.

 

I put 20 apiece on Cleveland over 30.5 and New Jersey over 24.5

Yeah... How are those working out?

[SouthSideRyan]

Weirdo. I'm not touching Cleveland obviously, New Jersey is just about on pace.

[bukie]

On a positive note, the second place team in the Central is about to go 9 games under .500. The Bulls could potentially clinch the division by win #40.

[BigSlick]

some interesting things just looking at the standings:

 

Bulls are 9-0 in their division, and honestly, if they play hard in every single one of their future division games, they probably should go undefeated in their division. Has that ever happened?

 

The Timberwolves are winless in their division, oof. At least they got Kevin Love racking up more meaningless stats for them. Good for him.

 

The Wizards are winless on the road. 0-20. Holy crap.

rose off to another 1-7 shooting start. i'm concerned. he's getting into iverson territory

lol kurt thomas with 16 points with 7 minutes left in the second quarter

It's like Skiles burned the scouting report on Thomas. The only thing he can do on offense is shoot a wide open 16 footer.

 

To be fair, it's not like he played for the Bucks or anything last year. Oh wait.

Monta Ellis is a better comparison. Everyone on the RealGM bulls forum was mocking him last year (ellis) for his hollow scoring average because he was a chucker and shot a low percentage. Well this year Rose has scored and shot slightly less, but has a slightly lower shooting percentage than Ellis. Rose does shoot better from 3 and gets to the line more, but still.

 

The theme seems to be slow starts. I normally don't bother watching the 1st quarters of games for whatever reason, and when I turn on the tv and load up the box score, Rose is seemingly always a 1-7 or 2-9. And then at the end of the game its something more respectable like 8-20.

Another key difference is that Derrick Rose is a lot better at basketball than Ellis.

[SpongeWorthy]

Also, being compared to Iverson isn't necessarily a pejorative. He and Larry Brown's commitment to D were pretty much the only reasons those woefully untalented Sixers teams were competitive.

 

A lot of those Warriors players have put up pretty fantasy stats and haven't won dick. They're a glorified And 1 team.

haha stacey king talks soooooo much [expletive] about the bulls' opponents

[17 Seconds]

noah just said he hopes to be back before the all-star break

[Soul]

It's down to 10, they just aren't caring enough

[ELCABALLO45]

Kurt Thomas just abusing the Bucks.

[Soul]

Kurt Thomas just abusing the Bucks.

Yeah, don't know what got into him.

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah, don't know what got into him.

 

This will probably sound dumb, but last year with Milwaukee he would have these "spurts" where he would play above his head. Must be doing it here.

[Soul]

Down to 7, must be the poor body language.

[ELCABALLO45]

I just realized Douglas-Roberts has 29 right now. Ouch.
