Rose in January

by masputo on Jan 27, 2010 11:25 AM CST

Derrick Rose has played 13 games in January:
23.3 ppg
6.46 apg
4.53 rpg

**2.69 TO**<--needs to go down

FGM-A
131/257 - 51%

3PM-A
2/4 - 50%

FTM-A
39/57 - 68% <--needs to go up
only 4.38 attempts per game.

our record so far in January?
8-5 - not great but 3 of those losses were very winnable

one step further:
If we look at the last 3 games of December our record is
11-5 in our last 16. Counting those 3 games, Rose is still
at 23 ppg.

in those games, we have quality wins over spurs, rockets, suns,
celtics, and hornets.

I'm sure all of the above was known by everyone here, but I
just wanted to once again point out how awesome Derrick Rose
is.

I'd like to here any thoughts on the way the bulls have played
recently.

I'd agree

I knew he was good, very good, but this stretch of late is unreal….

I think he’ll always be a somewhat high TO kind of player, though I do think perhaps those would come down once he has more guys who can score beside him—because right now there’s an awful lot of the game he has to force his will and sometimes that doesn’t always work.

I think his D is underrated actually these days, he’s far from uber echelon PG’s but he ain’t bad by any stretch and has taken what at the face of it seems like a leap forwards.

The scoring has been great and seemingly very efficient, which makes it better.

The assists are phenomenal considering he’s mostly passing to a Kirk, Noah, Taj as 3 guys who are more D players than anything (Deng and Salmons are more balanced players—though obviously John hasn’t played his best ball to date).

But yeah I am seeing him BECOME the franchise player. I was too young to remember MJ—since I really started watching the Bulls as a kid when Scottie came on board (his rookie year) and you know me being a kid I didn’t see those things anyway….

But this is fun. I hope he keeps it up.

Sadly....through thick and thin....
