Rose Dunks On Oden

So...

…does that mean we can no longer say “he’s injured” as an excuse?

Someone needs to sit Derrick down (Vinny, I’m looking at you) and show him film of his best moments last year and then show him film of him moving side to side on the perimeter this year. That’s the kind of play that should be happening 2-3 times every game; in addition to multiple layups and drive-and-kicks.

He should only have to use that jumper 5-7 times a game to set up the drive. Although it would help if he could shoot the three (.000 on the season? From our starting PG? C’mon…)

He's been playing better, though its been quite unnoticeable since the Bulls have been

getting killed.

17 pts, 5 ast, 3 rebounds 46% fg, 93% from the line in his last 5.

The Bulls just have to make sure he maintains his aggressiveness. Rose needs to shoot 20 times a game and everyone needs to play off Rose.

I did not see the game last night,,,but SHIT he dunked that with TWO hands over

Oden. Wade said last year that Rose was more athletic than him…so Rose has to learn how to use it. I agree with Rose Colored Goggles Roses jumpshot should be used to set up his drives. I believe that Rose will eventually add the 3 pointer to his game.

Lebron for the first few years in the league shot bricks, but he eventually added the jumper including the three pointer. I think we forget that Derrick Rose is only a Second Year Player and has the pressure of playing for his hometown and now has to live up to all of the hype surrounding him.

It is an adjustment for a young man who is starting on the path of manhood. I think he will be fine.

Like others I am very concerned about Vinny.
