D Rose is done

[lakersrule]

Bulls fans saw last night what Lakers fans already know: Pau is not a fan of physical basketball.

Tony Wroten-17 & 5 with a per of 14.9

Pretty sure he's a role player

Putting Rose and Wroten in the same sentence is absolutely disgusting. Rose is contributing those numbers on a team that is 26-14.

Wroten is on the Sixers, they are a woeful 7-31.

Butler deferring to Derrick too much. He led this team. Defense fell apart again. Rose put up numbers but just keeping up with the other guards is not enough, you gotta stop them on the other end.

Honestly didnt believe Mike Dunleavy was such an important player on this team to spread the floor. Nico can do it, but he is not going Josh Smith and just shooting threes, he is posting and driving, sometimes when he should have shot that three.

They say rose and butler were 5 and 6th in all star voting. I am thinking Bucketts could use a break.

ya I miss Dunleavy and have seen enough of hinrich

I have LBJ at #5 right now in the NBA. He took a couple steps back. He doesn't take over games anymore. Once in awhile he will flash but he really depends on his teammates.

You're crazy man.

Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics - Box Score - January 16, 2015 - ESPN

Not done.

He looked great tonite

two games in a row with 10 assists. Thats the stat I want to see up to 12 or 15. But if the bulls dont figure out why they are getting massacred on the high ball screen they are gonna need to find a way to score 120 a night.

I can never understand how fans dislike this guy.

Derrick Rose has never really said anything negative about anything or anyone. He's been consistent and honest. People just expect to hear what they want to hear. Rose isn't a mind reader and even if he was, it seems he'd still only say what he wants. That's ok. I'd rather the dude be honest vs feeding the media BS. In fact, if the media wants to paint a picture of Rose, they'll do it anyway they please whether he says good or bad things. The media wants to enjoy the story of his return. I wish they'd go back and correct all the BS reports that suggested he didn't care about basketball because he didn't say he'd be back in 2 weeks from a 4-6 week timeline. Whether he plays great or not, I'm rooting for the kid. It's tough to play for spoiled Bulls fans who seemingly tend to forget that nobody really being in Chicago unless they are drafted there or old and about to retire. Tell me the last young All Star that wanted to jump ship for the windy city? Don't give me Ben Wallace.

The way Rose plays, it seems he's prone to injure himself with his quick stops and goes to fool the defense. This is taking into account that his legs have had to repaired.
