I scoffed at the

’Who’s the Bulls best 6th Man?’ question posed to Comcast viewers tonight…

Where was the ‘None of the above’??

Kirk backs up Derrick so sure he can be the 6th man but only when Derrick gets into foul trouble. As for BG – he’s clearly a starter so no way he’s a 6th man on this team. If anything, Salmons is the best 6th man we have, assuming they have a healthy Luol, so that question was retarded.

I’m sure VDN’s answer would’ve been either Kurt of Timmay…

Backcourt 2.0

Mad bomber and Sweet D.

Derrick Rose colored glasses, gives you a "ROSY" outlook.

Best backcourt in the league next season?

If we keep BG, I could see it. This could make for an interesting discussion: who else would be in their class? Off the top of my head:

Stuckey/Hamilton
Rondo/Allen
Paul/Anybody with a Pulse
Anybody with a Pulse/Kobe
Harris/Carter
Chalmers/Wade

I’m a homer – when it comes to hoops, reason goes out the door with me – but I take Rose/Gordon. Two young, talented, complementary players.

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but seeing that picture, and in regard to recent events – BG Player of the Week, Rose ROY without a doubt – just made me wonder. If we sign BG, could we have the best guards in the league next season?

this is assuming, of course,

that Derrick’s recent play isn’t an abberation, and that he’ll develop in the offseason.

Rose is really improving there

I thought he was ok when it started actually. But then after that Sixer game with Miller the 2nd time he seemed to get tentative.

But recently him and Gordon have been playing better D to me. Of course theres last night. But also these past few games the Sixers and the Bobcats. Gordon had some key steals there and was showing a lot of energy.
I noticed when Gordon does that he gets juiced on offense as well then goes off.

Parker/ Ginobili
Bibby/ Johnson
Kidd/ Terry
Billups/ Smith

If both Gordon and Rose continue to improve I’d still like them over those players.
Especially with a lot of them on the decline.

I was just mentioning some of the other backcourts in their league

I take Derrick Rose any day of the week

Parker/Ginobili

is pretty damn good, as is Bibby/Johnson. But when you take age into account, I guess I “take” our backcourt in the sense that it’s the one I’d want to build around. But those two are definitely better.

As for next season, I think it could be pretty close. Definitely exciting to think about!
