You should all anoint Beasley the savior today. He shot 1-13, but the Bulls screwed up and Rose sucks.
Please note the sarcasm. |

QUOTE (steve9347 @ Jul 8 2008, 08:27 AM)  This thread was ABSOLUTELY hilarious to read through. People already talking up B Easy and down on Rose. Guess what? It took Beasley 21 shots to score 28 points today. Whoopteedoo. That was against a team that had zero interior defense. Derrick Rose is a point guard. Did you really think he'd work well with a bunch of scrubs he's never played with before? You all were on board with Rose, even though PGs are going to take longer to develop than a 6'7" SF with range (and that's where Beasley should be playing in the NBA). If Rose scores one more point this Summer League you shouldn't be concerned. It's freaking Summer League. You know... it was a game where Kasib Powell scored 15 points, Keith Langford scored 13, Tyrus had a double-double. It means jack spiff. Calm down! You know, I'm gonna have to take exception to this. You make it sound like a majority of the thread were freaking out over Rose having a poor day. I think Zoom and I were the 2 most involved people in this thread for yesterday's game and neither of us were "talking down on Rose", and I don't remember too much negativity from anyone else. So, I just read over the thread again and I mean, maybe there were a few "damn, Rose looked bad there" or whatnot, but I absolutely do not think anyone was talking down on Rose. Just calling it like you see it. If the guy made a bad play, he made a bad play. I think you're allowed to comment on that, but in no way were people bringing up how we should have taken Beasley or anything like that, which is what I feel you're pointing out here. The most inflammatory comment I may have made was like "we should be dominating this game... I wouldn't worry, but it is sort of depressing watching us suck." Yeah, so I said watching the game was disappointing. Well, it was. But, I also said not to worry about it. Basically pointing out the fact that it's only summer league, and I think that's how most people felt yesterday. Hell, I think the only person who made a slight comment about us regretting not taking Beasley is a guy who has been documented as always wanting Beasley over Rose... |

It's freakin' summer league, I wouldn't get too worried about either player. There are plenty of games left before they even start counting. Most rookies are going to look good-to-great at times and struggle at others (though Russell Westbrook is off to an awesome start, maybe we should have taken him
 ).

QUOTE (Serbbojo @ Jul 7 2008, 04:34 PM) so far im not impressed by Rose QUOTE (Serbbojo @ Jul 7 2008, 05:01 PM) wow rose just bounced the ball off his foot QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 7 2008, 05:02 PM) And Rose just dribbled it off his foot... haha QUOTE (Serbbojo @ Jul 7 2008, 05:13 PM) Rose just doesnt look like hes tryin to do anything. Hes look at the basket like twice throughout the entire first half. QUOTE (Serbbojo @ Jul 7 2008, 05:21 PM) Rose - 5TOs QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 7 2008, 05:32 PM) 20 or 21 i think....as rose misses 2 FTs....oh and beasley has only played a quarter and a half...and hes been playing down low vs. noah check that 23 for beasley I guess it was just a lot of bitching and whining about how good beasley was doing. Seems Serbbojo was the guy bringing most up. I'd say you're right for the most part that it wasn't tons of Rose trash talking. Anyway, they are both rookies, in the end I think the Bulls will be happy. |

It's definitely not there. Either the broadcast hasn't started yet or the webcasting is down.

Derrick Rose is not playing in the game, due to the jammed knee he suffered late in yesterday's game. However, Tyrus Thomas is playing (it was speculated that he had played his last summer league game as Del Negro just wanted him to play a game or two to get comfortable with Rose).
I think its a good thing we get a little more of Tyrus. The more practice in game type situations the better, imo. |
