i almost wished rose did play…i didnt watch the game but…i think having rose play against pgs that may be better (or do something better) than him helps rose evolve his game. I think in preseason he played against jason kidd, and he went off because everyone was saying how rose could be good maybe even as good as kidd, and rose played like he wanted to be good now, or devin harris…although rose (and everyone else) was getting torched by harris i remember rose going right back at harris (too bad he got no fouls while harris got tons) and then of course the magical boston series….rose went at rondo (especially game one) showing him that whatever rondo could do, rose could do one more (litterly doing this several times, rondo gets a layup, rose a layup and a foul) eventually even playing some clutch defense in game 6 showing rondo “hey…i think i might be able to do this better than you too..”

Milwaukee Bucks center Dan Gadzuric, right, walks off the court with Brandon Jennings thinking how much of an ass Neil Funk is for ripping on him the entire twelve minutes he played, while going 4-7 from the field with 10 rebounds.

Noah get involved on offense. He even made some nice hook shots I had never even seen him attempt before.

Reminded me of the 1st few times people saw Rose and realized he’s quicker than anyone expected.

Derrick Byars needs to make the team. Like yesterday.

last night. There was a 1 on 1 interview with Joakim and Will Perdue on Sports Night last night. He talked about his rookie season and how out of shape he was. Didn’t mention being out of shape last season but said he has learned it’s not about just working out but also eating right and getting enough rest. It was a good interview. I checked CSN but they don’t have it on there yet.

Anyone know if Rose and Tyrus are still out? I’d assume so.

Noah played 34 last night and I know they cooled his mins in the 2nd half but is there a reason for this?

1- Is it just cause Brad is old and even when he dresses they only want him going 10min at most in preseason?
2- Is this the plan the training staff made for Noah because of last season’s 1st half conditioning problems?
3- Is there anyway this is a bad thing cause Noah is gonna have to play a lot of mins this year with Brad resting til the 2nd half of season… and Aaron out til Christmas?( are they planning to keep Richard on 12 man roster til Aaron is back?)

I havent read anyhting on this is people have heard anything I’d appreciate the info.

Deng + Gray for Stephen Jackson. Make it happen

Mmmm! or TT has been really bad except for a number of hopeful games.

If a real #2 pick was performing in Tyrus’s slot we’d be west coast “LA” type temperment glad to just see a low pick like Gibson playing slighty above average for pre-season, but would be strongly desiring our (Bosh,Garnett,Jamison,Dirk,Alridge) type real power forward to return to the floor.

We’re excited together with Stacey King about Vinny deciding between which of the average players to play?

Stacey King with his 6 inch vertical? the same guy who arrived in Chicago during Jordan era and proclaimed “Chicago was going to be dominated by Air Jordan and Sky King” trying to make a name for himself without an all-star players game, let alone a consistent NBA starter?

Well to his credit Stacey King at least had the moxie to put it out there (he had big guns backing him up in Pippen and Jordan!) This present team crew of young high paid guys are afraid of even their own shadows and act and play like they can’t back up anything…
