Is Rose afraid of shooting the ball seriously?!?! he needs to at least try to score, kinda gettin sick of him dribbling to the 3pt line then simply passing it away.

Rose actually made a shot!

He's expontentially better in transition than in the half court.

i jumped in late...can someone tell me how we/rose specifically look?

Bulls down 5 now. Rose has looked much better in terms of passing and aggressiveness (at least from the first half yesterday, didn't get to watch the second), he's still not scoring at all though. He's not doing anything in the halfcourt unless he draws a foul on the drive. Looks like a pretty boring night for Thomas/Noah from what I've seen, seems to be a lot of the non-roster guys doing the damage.

Right after I say that a really nice drive and finish by Rose, went around the guy trying to draw the charge and layed it in.

So what does Rose's statline look like ya think? Are we winning the game or not?

Down 6, got mostly scrubs in now.

If I had to guess right now I'd say something like 7 points and 6 assists for Rose, though I missed some of the game. Stats should be up in an hour or two.

Rose played very well in the first half, should have had another 4-5 assists if it weren't for the scrubs blowing easy lay-ups/shots.

Bulls down 10 now, Tyrus/Curry/Gray in right now.

Um, yeah, I think I had the scores reversed this whole time.

Yep, I did, my apologies. Hard to keep track when they show the scoreboard like twice a quarter (just started showing it more often recently). Bulls up 5 with less than a minute to go.

Westbrook & Green also had good games. Courtney Lee shined for the Magic. That's a pretty good sign considering Westbrook, Durant, & Green all played significant minutes. That likely shows he can be effective as a scorer against starters in this league.

BULLS WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, according to the recap 18 of Lee's 27 came in the 4th quarter when the game was already over and OKC had put in the scrubs. Still a good sign for him that he could do it though, did a lot better than Beasley today, who couldn't handle Sean Williams.

Stats

Thomas- 17 points and 7 boards with 2 steals and 1 block and 5 turnovers, 6-13 from the field. Either he made a bunch of baskets when I was gone or I couldn't figure out the number. I only remember like 6 of those points, pretty good line outside of the turnovers.

Rose- 9 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 3 turnovers, 2-9 from the field. Really solid outside of the scoring.

Noah- 4 points, 3 rebounds, 6 fouls. Only 15 minutes.

Langford- 19 points, 4 turnovers, somehow 3 blocks, 6-7 from the floor. Nice shooting.

Nichols- 16 points, took 13 shots again, 3 turnovers, 3 boards, 2 steals

Gray- 5-7 from the field for 14 points, 5 boards

Curry- 4-7 from the field, 10 points and 6 assists, mostly in garbage time
