"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Quickest foul in NBA history?
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
sorry man I looked and didnt see any...I tried

did he use to play for the pacers?

Is it just my TV

When Rasho
easily boxes out Noah, you know there’s a problem
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Actually Gooden is covering Rasho
2 games in a row that VDN has Gooden guarding the center position and Noah on the power forward. Stupid move, he must have learned this in Phoenix were they had not center and played a small forward at power forward. Not really impressed with VDN’s matchup awareness.
Good to have a nice start out of Gordon
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Will watch his relations with Rose.

That was the worst defense by Troy Murphy

Anyone list Jarrett Jack

Is this bizarro world?
The bulls are going to the basket!
and Gordon hasn't dribbled it off his foot
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Rose was definitely the right pick,
I questioned him over Beasley but every game I love Rose more. He is gonna be better than Chris Paul in time. I’m so happy Pax got this pick right. Not to mention that Rose seems to already be making these guys better!
I hate to say it but Hinrich played a few to many min/game lately anyway. I think 36 min/game would be good for Rose/Bulls.
You are probablyt the first person
who admit it.I mean being for Beasley first.

(remembering the dunk on Rasual Butler)
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
I've dont ever...
recall Gordon going to the hole as much as he has this season. If he can get 6-8FT/game…he can average 24-25PPG.
He still can't guard his own mother
and doesn’t bother trying.
He's been pretty solid this year
on defense. Steals, staying in front of his man…he’s improved enormously since his rookie year.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
this is how they need to play...
against the lakers next…if they dont wanna get blown out completely…..if we play like this ..we’ll only lose by like 10 or 12……….
I hope David Thorpe is leaving him a voicemail

k gameplan
-Tyrus must be benched the entire game
-Ben Gordon will keep doing his contract year thing
-Luol needs yet another reminder he is a basketball player in the NBA
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
no he misses 18-foot jumpshots
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
you do know...
that this is a national WGN broadcast right?
NBA League Pass Broadband
is pretty cool, worth the money if you can afford it (I know I can’t)
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
maybe Ben Gordon is his mentor then..

We lack
that killer instinct. Every lead we get is blown on everyone trying to get off.
Hughes is getting hot.
I’m scared.
General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Sir Paxdorf.
What is the difference between Hughes and Gordon
a few inches I guess.
Seriously?
That’s the opinion of a blind man.
your all offense
Ya, he’s an old 29, and over 10 years in the league averaged only 15 pts a game and 31 minutes per game and will hit 10,000 pts, but take those 15 pts and look at the Defense, the steals and turnovers he causes and you got a player that actually gives you 18-20 pts a game over 10 years. Best Defender, Gordon can’t play D, most fans just watch shots, nature of the sport, but only less than 5% of 300 NBA players make it past 5 years. So his career 41% over 10 years out of position (good enough to play point gaurd and feed Lebron is so bad to whom? Who has better Defense numbers on the Bulls, Deng? Gooden? Nearly 6 rebounds a game over 10 years? The man he guards does not score, or he has a foul to give to make sure he doesn’t without hurting the team. We have no center, the forwards are poor on defense, Gordon has no defense, Rose has 10 games versus 10 years, just think you need to look at both ends of the court. Yes, he is hurt, but still playing, lets see how many years Rose gets, remember, 95% chance of not surpassing 5 years. It doesn’t look pretty, I admit, but when you add it up, you got somebody on the team you better use, for you have him for two years. More picks and rolls in two games than Gordon in 10. No superstar, but has achieved some rare things that 95% of NBA players don’t and you can’t take that away. Point guard in the finals for Cleveland ain’t bad when your not even a true point guard. I think we did better than Wallace.
Noce being agressive
I like
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Troy Murphy 2007-08 salary: $10,126,984
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
whoops 08-09.
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
I don't think we'd be seeing Ben Gordon playing this good if he already had his money
He’d be playing stupid, ballhog, stat builder basketball still. I suspect he might return to normal after he gets paid$$$$
He’s actually going to the rim with a strategy nowadays, instead of driving with no idea what to do if things get difficult and getting violently rejected.
He’s playing D and everything.He suddenly can do it all, where was any of this the last few seasons. Unless he finally realized the difference between his role as a 6th man spark, and his new role(at least for now) as starting SG with an actual brain. I knew he could do it, now the question will be how long it lasts. I’m hoping for the rest of his time in Chicago!
Ben is probably upset
about not getting paid, and realizing that he’s no longer the face of this team, and never will be as long as Rose is around.
by chicagodogg79 on Nov 15, 2008 8:16 PM CST up reply actions
I'd assume he wants to start.
If he wants to start and not be the amazing 6th man he’ll keep playing like this.
Personally, I just think that Derrick Rose coming here has lit a fire under him. It’s a good thing.
You must have x-ray vision
If you can see a fire anywhere in or around Gordon.
Anyone have another link?
That stoogetv just stopped working.
we got the lead with the big lineup...
where is Noah?
Guarding Troy Murphy
outside the 3 point line as per VDN, the Boylan clone
Even with Hinrich out
we have at least 2 too many players. I vote for Hughes and Gooden to depart as neither are in the Bulls long term plans, so they are just wasting time that could go to developing/finding out other guys ability to play with Rose. VDN more worried about winning a few extra games and his job than long term development of the team.
Jarrett Jack is shooting his way to Europe
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
The meltdown started when Ben Wallace would clown around and have a great time
while the Bulls would be getting slaughtered by 30 pts. He was a cancer to the Bulls, and I suspect he completely undermined Skiles and killed any respect Skiles still commanded as head coach. Even Deng suddenly took on the “who cares if we get killed AGAIN” attitude toward the end of BWallace"s tenure. I was happy when Noah called him out on it though. Now I fully understand how bad it was if a lazy guy like Noah called him out,lol. Just kidding
Derrick Rose's
role on offense should not be for ball reversal
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."

he’s got to take it to the hoop with some balls. Like Tyrus and his jump shot. Or a goaltend.

It takes more than one guy to rebound. It is about time someone else chipped in. Before he fell in love with 3 point shot Nocioni used to be a good rebounder

What fluid motion is this I see?
Is VDN actually getting through to these guys? They actually look like they’ve played together before. Nice, quick passes. Beautiful!
Interesting stat
at the half, Deng is 9/10 from the FT line
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
His offensive decision-making and shot selection has been great
Fewer super-quick and ill-conceived long two-pointers, and plenty of attacking the basket.
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /
You don’t know how high the sky is / the square mileage of earth or what pi is." - Nas
I don't get this...
is this a rebuttal? Some sort of smartass comment to apply endgame stats to midgame opinions?
"Worker bees can leave.
Even drones can fly away.
The Queen is their slave."
Thank you, sir
At the time I made the comment, Deng’s decision-making and shot selection had been solid. Afterwards … not so much.
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /

Loved the work by Noah-
active on the glass, defensively, developing some chemistry with Rose. A very encouraging game thus far.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
Noah's line at the half is really strong
5 pts on 4 possessions, 7 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl, 2 blk
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /
You don’t know how high the sky is / the square mileage of earth or what pi is." - Nas
At least he knows
what his game is,and he is not trying jump shots.

He's the best center on the team....though that says something about our frontcourt as well
I don’t know why others question his heart and commitment to the game (it boggles my mind that the studio guys think he doesn’t love the game of basketball, but Larry Hughes is some kind of integral piece to the team).

It's way, way, WAAAAAY too early to make any definitive statements about Tyrus
He’s 22 years old and has played only 10 games this season – sample size and development issues abound – but this is depressing and hard to watch.
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /

he needs to realize he could be a very good rodman type player....
but thats it….actually rodman wasnt that bad on the offensive end
Missed it by that much
HE only needs Rodman’s work ethic, nearly Jordan like, Rodman’s passion, off the charts, and Rodman’s basketball IQ, which was genius level. Other than that he is the next coming.
He is simply too stupid to become a player
at 22 years you can’t teach a guy not to be stupid, it is already too late.
Some prettiness mixed with some ugliness
Motto of the Bulls season?
Deng looks like an All-Star when he just attacks the rim. Also playing some great D on Granger. BG has been the benefactor of some great ball movement and transition game. They went back to the jacking crap routine and Indy got themselves back in the game.
The frontcourt has got to play better. Aside from Noah’s energy and those two sweet lobs from Rose, Gooden and Tyrus have been pretty moot. Tyrus had a very easy close shot that he mangled, that’s got to change or he’ll never get decent playing time. I’m glad they’re not running any set plays for him because it would just be bad to look at, but he’s not making any effort on offense to get himself into a rhythm with Rose and the other starters. At least make like Noah and get some garbage buckets by staying in the paint. Noce is filling in amicably but he gives up tons of size to Murphy (who is exploiting it….by taking 3s and long jumpers).
Oh, and Larry Hughes is still worthless. Why not play Lindsey Hunter with Thabo

Addendum
If they’re going to play crap lineups like Hughes, Thabo, Noce, Tyrus, Gooden, at least put Hunter in so there’s at least a PG by definition in there.

Hunter understands the complexity of the Del Negro Offense just yet
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
What the fuck is Thomas doing playing center
more Horseshit from VDN
Noah and Gray should play every minute at center, period.
Oh and this isn't cherry picking at all
Hughes a team worst -9 so far.

that is pretty amazing....
really does look like they’re coming together….over the past few games…plus rose is running the show….that might have something to do with it
Only 2 turnovers so far
Both of them on Noce essentially being his Argentian ball of fire self, so not that big of a deal. Notice there was no BG dribbling off his foot? Except for that horrible end of quarter play and BG throwing up a shot while triple teamed, he’s been on his best behavior.

"You’re caught up in basketball. Get caught up in life" - Starbury's Head Tattoo
Is it just me,
or are the Bulls finally starting to get their fair share of calls by the refs? I suspect having a (future) superstar, Rose, is for some reason giving the Bulls some credibility with the crooked(aren’t they all?) refs, The referee bias in the NBA is disgusting! Maybe the Bulls were getting payback for all the years MJ got all the calls (and no-calls).

There seemed to be countless calls that were never made while the Bulls (especially Gordon) were shooting that they’re getting now. I used to always think to myself that these would’ve been called for most any other teams (except the absolute worst).

Forget about the 15 point average for 10 years over 9,000pts, and look at the steals and turnovers he causes.
So, Tayshaun Prince must not be a very good defender
because he doesn’t average a lot of steals. To me, Larry Hughes’ steals are an indicator of him playing the passing lanes more than playing his man.

Rose is the Chicago Bulls offense. It's official. Gordon can't do as much w/o Rose.
Other than those 2, who else is there? Deng? Yeah right, he burned himself out in the off season by playing olympic ball for a sorry British team that is trying to get in the real games just to get destroyed by any other country. How stupid is that?

he won’t get enough press to get the word out on his awesomability
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
I'm already seeing it around the league.
He’s just too good. And he’s playing better then the other ROY candidates.
It really is just phenomenal;
I was a huge pro-Rose guy around draft-time, but I didn’t think he would be this good, this fast. T.J. Ford is one of the better points in the east and Rose completely outclassed him. Amazing.

Yep it's clear
he’s even better in the pros than he was in college
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."

by Juiceboxjerry on Nov 15, 2008 9:58 PM CST up reply actions
CP3 wasn't this good this early
but I agree
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Quick note on CP3
I want to say that I read (in a few places) on this thread that D-Rose is better now than CP3 was at the same age. Negative.
D-Rose, in his age-20 season, has a PER of 19 after 10 games. CP3, in his age-20 season (‘05-’06), had a PER of 22.14 in 78 games.
I’m as excited as ANYONE over what D-Rose has done thusfar, but let’s not reach too far into hyperbole territory or start deluding ourselves here. I love D-Rose, but it’s way too premature to try to put him in CP3’s class.
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /
You don’t know how high the sky is / the square mileage of earth or what pi is." - Nas
I don't think it's premature
to say his play, if it continues to improve as it has, could be on a level with what Paul did as a rookie. Rose will probably average more points and rebounds; Paul will have had more assists and steals.
The thing that’s so remarkable about Paul is how he has improved over the course of his career. It’s premature to say Rose will do that. But it’s not all that farfetched to say that their rookie seasons might be on the same level.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
OK, I don't disagree with that ... but that's not what I was responding to
It’s the comments that CP3 “wasn’t this good” at the same age that I was hoping to dispel.
Your point is taken, however it moves the narrative away from the point I was trying to make.
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /
You don’t know how high the sky is / the square mileage of earth or what pi is." - Nas
I don't agree,
CP3 wasn’t this good, this early.
I honestly think Rose will be better. He’ll age better [unless Paul does the Iverson thing], and he’s … just … man. I don’t even know how to express it.
Let's take it easy shall we?
Rose has played 10 games. Chris Paul had one of the greatest statistical seasons for any PG ever last year. Paul also had a worse team his rookie year. I’m in love with Rose, but there’s no need to go insane.

We should start a FanPost or something
Where each of us compile a list of players we’d trade D-Rose for. Those lists would be very, very short.
Mine would have more than one name, however – not only CP3 – but would certainly be short.

NO. This is a 20 year old kid playing with the poise of a 10 year veteran. It isn’t just about the stats here. He has already faced some of the best pg’s in the league and has not been phased. The only times he gets remotely upset is when his teammates aren’t trying as hard as he thinks they should. He is a born leader. In a couple years, maybe just maybe, superstars will want to be here just to play alongside him to boost their game and win a championship.

One thing that's kind of jumped out at me is that,
as awesome as Rose is, and as good as Gordon, Deng and Nocioni can be alongside him, this team could very easily and cost-effectively improve itself down low. You wouldn’t need to spend a lot to improve quite a bit. Unrestricted free agents like Paul Millsap and Pachulia would at least bring professionalism and NBA skillsets to the the interior.
It sounds like a downer, but really, it just means we could improve as a team very quickly.

I was SO uncomfortable when a lot of people in this forum were seemingly so satisfied at the thought of Deng being the future of Chicago Bulls basketball. The guy the franchise would build around. I am THRILLED to death that now he is for all intent and purposes the 3rd option on this team and that we now have a BONAFIDE SUPERSTAR in the making. I can view Deng favorably in the type of support role he seems to be settling into. Still think he’s overpaid, but what’s done is done. I just hope we can make a move and get a serviceable big…and somehow keep BG in a Bulls uniform….and let D. Rose do the rest!!!

I love D Rose too, but what talented player were your referring to when you said he was the best since 1998?
As much as I detest Larry Hughes’s game, for the 2nd time in a row, he finished strong after a disasterous start, actually giving up the ball within the flow of the offense on occassion, although his assist totals for his 36+ minutes in those games remained a big fat ZERO,
Noce is thriving playing alongside Derrick, 20 pts on 9 for 13, playing smart, spotting up with good spacing, driving to the hole and grabbing 11 rebounds while doing a nice job defensively with a (+/-) of 16, 2nd only to DR’s +20. For the most part this season, he has continued to disappoint the Noce haters with his solid play.
There are no words that can do justice to the brilliance of our flower child so far, other than it seems his teamates are beginning to recognize him as the second coming and are willing to ride him to victory.
Deng played a strong game despite going 4 for 16, as did Gordon who was 6 for 19. I love Tyrus but his shooting is bringing me fantasies of having more of an offensive threat at the 4, like Ben Wallace.

Noc was garbage on defense tonight when guarding his own man. His weak side help defense was good. He also had 5 turnovers.
I still think he’s the best complement to pair with Rose after Ben Gordon merely for the spacing and especially when we have the lead and Rose is looking to create. When we have the lead we can run the high screen with Noah, roll Noc all the way from freethrow line right to baseline to free throw line left as he runs out to the top of the circle while Rose penetrates and either takes the shot in the paint, drops to Noah for the flush, or kicks back to Noc for the wide open 3. This is difficult play to defend and Rose makes it all work.

First off … Rusty LaRue was awesome, but not nearly as good as Jud. What are you thinking? Come on, now. [And yes, he did change his name after he retired.]
What is sarcasm? What is not sarcasm? Is there a point?
In my defense, I did just read a post that equated Ben Gordon with Larry Hughes. It’s hard to tell.
9 turnovers
5 for Noc. lol
Rose plays 40 minutes with no fouls. Wow. I loved his defense in transition last night. He broke up 3 breakaway layups with three good defensive plays. One he just jumped up off one foot and did a spread eagle that really threw off TJ Ford. Another he faked like he was going up and then pulled the chair out from under TJ Ford who was expecting contact. And the the first one he just tipped the ball going up.
Rose is just amazing. Once he gets comfortable with his opponents we’re probably going to see him taking that high screen right to the rim for some nasty dunks.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
But I allow those TOs for Noce because his aggression was productive yesterday
How anyone lets Chapu get into the paint for easy layups and dunks that many times is beyond me.

Speaking of Noce
I really have to agree with everyone by saying he is the player most positively affected by Rose’s play.
The man knows how to pick his spots for Derrick to use him well.
As for his defense, Derrick has nothing to do with that. LOL
I was trying to remember the 5
1 was the charge in the 2nd half. I know he had some bad passes. And then he did have a ball stolen in the paint.
The charge was the worst because we had numbers and all Noc had to do was give the ball to Rose and he’d get it right back for a n easy layup.
