| Frustrating 2 days for Derrick Rose & the Bulls |
Bench Production: In the last two games the bulls have scored a grand total 37 points in the second quarter and whats worst is that they have given up 66 points! Whats crazy is that the Bulls have outscored Both the Knicks & the Celtics in the second half of both games. We need someone to step up off this bench and take command of this second unit. I was thinking that maybe that guy could be C.J. Watson but so far its been Korver. We all know its not gonna be like this when boozer gets back but we need someone now. Plus can we just stop playing Scal all together? I know he only played 7 Min's against the Knicks but while he was on the floor for those 7 minutes the bulls were outscored by 12 points! even more amazing he only played 3 minutes vs the Celtics and they were outscored by 7 can he please stay on the bench were he belongs
Derrick rose: Rose eased up on the shot attempts and become the facilitator (14 ast vs the Knicks, 9 vs the Celtics) & he was still able to make his usual array of highlight shots. Rose still did force some shoots but its basketball everyone forces some bad shots every now and again. He did get lit up by Tony Douglas on Thursday but some of the shots Douglas was taking were ridiculous and they were going in he did a great job on Rondo the next night and he contained & didn't let him get into the paint. Derrick did turn into TOM (Turn over man) Flu in the Boston game with a bunch of horrible passes (but the bulls as a whole did that) Am i the only one confused to what was happening at the end of the Boston game was it an isolation play or a pick and roll that Rose might have brushed off. Other than that he played at a superstar level the last two games.
Who should be the starting Shooting guard?: Keith Bogans plays great D but lets be honest he hasn't mad a jump shot to save his life right now in the last 2 games he has a total of 8 points! Kyle Korver has made shots but his defense is suspect and plus for him is that he stretches the floor for derrick. Ronnie Brewer? The jury is still out on Ronnie but during the back to back he looked energetic. James Johnson? We really don't know which Johnson is going to show up is he the guy from the Piston game is he they guy that makes mind boggling decisions time after time?
Defense & turnovers: Where is the bulls defense the gave up 120 points to the Knicks while allowing them to hit 16 three pointers! no team is going to win doing that. they also didn't get after it defensively in the first half which allows them to make try to make all these furious comebacks. the defense needs to put together two half's on D and make sure they close out on shooters the 3 ball doomed the bulls these past two games. They also didn't take care of the ball. too many sloppy passes, too many charges and that equals too many missed oppurtunites but its almost a new team so hopefully after a couple more games things will get better.
Gibson and Noah: Taj had great games he knocked down the open shoot time after time he mad great passed and he played great defense. The knicks and the Celtics both relaxed off of him on pick and rolls and that allowed Taj to make them pay. so far this season he has definitely raise his game. Noah was he typically double double self he did it all ran the break blocked shots, and made jump shots. He even got the ball in the post and made a couple of nice moves. One thing that i liked about Noah was the face that he drove the ball to the basket and he was able to do that mostly because he making his jumper.His only mistake was when he lost the ball during a crucial moment in over time vs Boston.
