News Flash Derrick Rose is amazing!: Rose was Amazing in the first half especially in the first quarter he was every where his jumper was on and he got to the lane almost at will on his way to 20 first half points. (I thought for a little while that he was on his way to 50) But 31 shots I REPEAT 31 is way too many shots for your point guard someone else has to pick up some of the slack or its going to be a frustrating first month. The thing that surprised me is that some of derrick's shots were forced and he was noticeably fatigued at the end of the game which allowed his shots to be blocked. he missed all of his 3point attempts and he also stayed in foul trouble but it was mainly do to how aggressive he was on D. But he still had a great game
Lets Post Joakim Noah up: Noah was his usual double double self 12 & 19 (Which he will lead the league in) he hit one jumper he a couple of nice looking assists. One thing i would like to see is Noah posting up down low. His footwork has gotten better and he's proven to be very effective going over either shoulder. Somebody is going to have to post up on this team until Boozer gets back and i believe Noah can handle that.
The Old Bulls showed up again: By old i mean the jump shooting Bulls. One thing that shocked me was that we didn't even see any of that excellent ball movement that we saw during the preseason. the bulls can not afford that at all. they didn't go to the foul line a lot and when they did go they missed. Deng went 2-6 from the foul line that's completely unacceptable. The Bulls as a team went 13-22 for 59%.Why did the Thunder get so many fouls every time i looked up they were shooting free throws. Also where was Korver at? Was I the only person who thought the bulls rotation was weird I know it's the first game but don't we need to see korver and rose playing together. We didn't see any decent scoring of the bench i thought korver was supposed to provide that and what was with scal playing so many minutes?
Where was Deng???: Again Deng was trapped in basketball purgatory! he was on the floor but he didn't move with any purpose i even saw James Harden push him of the block once and i seen him try to post up Jeff Green Lou has to step it up! Whenever rose it out of the game Deng needs to step it up and call for the ball, he did have 13 points but if he played aggressive he could have had at least 25 points. He should have put Thabo in the rim on the fast break too but he went up soft and got it rejected
The Bulls D: Bulls played great Defense until 4:00 minutes left in the game then i have no idea what happen. the thunder got 3 dunks in a row and started fast breaking like the Atlanta hawks. Thibbs cant be happy with that effort!
