Chicago Bulls Season Thread 35-33 -- vs kings 3.21/3.23 vs knicks/3.24 knicks

He needs to move around and call for the ball when needed, stay attacking and play making, our pg needs to take charge. our offense runs through him, he needs the ball in his hands, would like more attempts from him mid range as well,
I hope they up his usage more than what we've been seeing. 

Rose is still the engine to this team. I know he's taking his sweet time but he's gotta help the team win as a whole. 

He's really passive and being the exact opposite as the guy who we all came to love as an NBA player, that dude that put it all on the line every game, years ago. 

He's truly taking his sweet time prepping himself conditionally wise. 
 
Its hard to watch and frustrating.

But to be perfectly honest, id do the same.putting Millions in business over basketball imo. Im not going to go so damn hard and put pressure on my known frail body to the point that im pretty sure im getting injured. A year becore my contract year at that. I dont condone it but i do understand it.

See i dont want him posessing those thoughts as our leader, chicagos known basketball player. As a player we want that scrappy flu game jordan with heart i fully understand that and am with yall on that side of thinking.

But as a buisnessman, where my next multimillion dollar cobtract depends on me being in tact and healthy. I understand it. Do i like it? Na not at all. But i do understand it.

And i think thats whats going on.

Hes preserving himself imo
 
Agreed. He's being conservative until the marquee games where he'll have something to prove himself against the best, but these regular teams, he doesn't have much interest in them. 

It is pick your poison but on his end of the stick, I completely understand what he is doing but it's just the selfish side of us to want to see him be great. Lol
 
Will Perdue just reported post game, that JO was scheduled to start with Pau but soreness in his knees kept him out of today's game.

I still say we should go JO/Niko or Pau/Taj.
We saw the awkwardness of having JO/Pau out there last year, maybe they'll play better off each other this year, but I don't see it.

I didn't want to say it, but you can see Fred is still trying to figure the NBA coaching game. The mixed report about him and JO having the starting/reserve conversation, and now the tinkering of line up's and lack of motivation from his players show that he's still feeling the team out.
 
The Bulls have 4 days rest and next game with be on Friday. 

2 games in 7 days. Hopefully this will help them.
 


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Looks like JO won't be starting tomorrow. Fred is opting to use Niko against the smaller Williams.
 
Jimmy on Brian Roberts chucking up 3's on a blowout victory over an opponent....

This the type of ishhh I'm talking about! Jimmy won't let this go.....time to take out the trash and avenge that loss o a sub par team.
 
Tough, hard fought victory at home :nthat:
Good effort all around, especially the second unit.

Big games from JO and Jimmy :nthat:
 
JO with 18 rebs in 23 mins 
smokin.gif
sick.gif
 that's what we need from him

Bunch of garbage writing. Theyr saying doug is a major defensive liability which may be true and he needs to work on that, but this kid is going to be something special possibly if he can refine himself in different parts of his game.


JO with 18 rebs in 23 mins :smokin :x  that's what we need from him :pimp:
:pimp:.....cant believe jo put up 18 ,thats great but very unexpected. Rose 10pt game again. Smh i hate that thats happeninbg to him but if we can push through the post season with his numbers looking like that, then it is what it is a W is a W.

Yeah true 2nd unit looked great but the fact our starters cant pull away ftom a squad like this worrys me and questions our identity as an eliteam. We have to get it together and concrete ourselfs as a top tier team. Sick of these losses to these inferior teams, especially when we just lost to them by 30pts previously
 
So, Derrick Rose will still have problem with his vision with up to three months. 

Read that the Bulls medical team rushed him to do surgery immediately instead of the proper care of observing the injury prior to surgery. 

Bulls medical team is at it again. 

smh
 
^

knock that ishh off!
For years Derrick disregarded the Bulls medical staff's opinion and seeked other opinions, I find it hard to believe that he just took they're advice without consulting other opinions.

Either way...another solid win, despite giving up a big lead down the stretch again...keep piling up those W's.
Jimmy with a big block at the end :nthat:
 
It is what it is. Maybe he's had a change of heart or whatever he's going through, as we all know the Bulls' medical team isn't the best, reference to Deng and Asik
 
What's wrong with Drose? While he had a good game, he twisted his ankle and did not return into the game...
Is he actually made of paper? Hope it does not take too long to recover.

Ankle sprain. Probably be a day-to-day evaluation. Will be keeping up on it since tomorrow's game is in Phoenix, hopefully Phoenix medical staff is a DRose fan and will help Rose, lol

I think the Rose 7, those soles are too thick to be playing basketball in. They're bulky looking. 

Btw, Pau Gasol has a 'Player Option' after this year.... You guys think he'll opt out?

I think Drose should sit out as long his ankle is not fully recovered. Don't want him have the same case like Kyrie in the playoffs when he kept on playing and damaged his knee of his other leg which was even worse.
I don't know the design of the current Drose kicks but his kicks has been constructed for maximum court feel and not much about cushioning. Maybe his kicks should get better cushioning units as his jumping and acceleration creates much force to his knees.
Jordan XX9 might be the better choice which is has been worn by Jimmy and Westbrook.

Yeah, we've seen this before in 2012 prior the ACL injury where he had all these leg injuries, which then lead up to that point.. *Knocks on wood*

The shoes, DRose 7, I feel are bulky and yeah, while they are contructed for maximum court feel, the cushioning is lacking so therefore, Adidas used the BOOST sole as the cushion part. 

Derrick Rose, for him personally, I think something like Kobes but mid tops would work.. Something like the Huarrches 2K would be great for him. as the reasons you've stated. 

Or maybe they should go back to the DRose 1.....................................................
 
It actually does make a difference.
Some shoes are not made like any other.

Flexibility, manuevability, arch and support can make all the difference with shoes.

As far as DROSE changing shoes, that's on him. I'm just discussing about what shoes would probably excel for his style of play.
 
taj fell off |I


i always felt he would have been way more productive as a starter.
playing with the bench he doesn't get the ball in the right spots and has no continuity in minutes

mirotic is still a year or two away from being a legit starter in the league
