I bet I could hit more than him right now. I shot 37 percent in high school from three

He needs to get on that Tony Parker and DWade plan until he figures his s*** out. He's not gonna hit with that form.

What a waste of time.

He's either the most optimistic or the biggest knucklehead out there. Every time he hits a three, he will take and miss 3 or 4 more until he stops pulling the trigger. With the form he has, he's not going to get consistent rhythm and hit more than one in a row.

This loss isn't on him

It is not on him, he's been more aggressive tonight. At the same time I don't want to get too caught up on Jimmy and Pau having an off night tonight.

 

Rose's three point shot has been a prolonged issue and is something he needs to either fix or retire. He's 11 for his last 60 in three's, good for 18%, definitely will hurt the team more in the long run if you ask me.

He has no feel for it. The arc is ever changing, his wrist snap is inconsistent. I thought that was something he had been working on?

I'm just venting here. He's supposedly worked on it for the past 2 years, but somethings never change. I was about 45 minutes early to a Bulls Heat game 2 years ago, and I watched him practice that shot for a good 15 minutes straight. Even at practice, there's no consistency in his wrist motion, arc of the shot, or spin of the ball, and it bricked a lot more than you expect for someone had been boasting about his shot to the media (which he did big time around that time).

 

At this point, I'll be happy if he would just use it as a show me shot.

Even his lift is not consistent. Your legs need to be alot of your effort

The obvious reason the Bulls are elite is because of Jimmy's meteoric rise this year, and, to a lesser extent, I guess, Pau's production. When they're off, and with Noah being a zombie this year, tonight happens.

 

Rose was fine tonight. Stop expecting MVP Rose. Just hope he stays healthy, improves his shot throughout the year, and increases his flashes of brilliance.

Please start Taj and bring Niko-Noah off the bench together.

 

Pau and Jo don't mesh while Niko and Noah could be an amazing duo.

Rose isn't playing tonight, his knee is sore. Not this s*** again...

This is the time and the team to sit against, no worries

Thibodeau on Derrick Rose: “Had little bit or soreness yesterday. No MRI scheduled. "That may change” after he sees Dr. Cole. #Bulls

Assuming no MRI is needed I'm ok with this, everyone's noticed him being a bit gassed and worn out lately.

Don't sleep on this Bucks team. They are 20-18 despite playing a lot more road games than home games, good for 5th place in the east.

Pau dominated in the first half.

28 then Milwaukee cuts the lead in the 3rd quarter

 

40 after 3 for Pau.

@Schumouse: Gasol's carer highs are 44 points and 22 boards. Currently has 40 and 17

 

42 now

Finished with 46 and 18. Outstanding efficency too. What a game for him.

Read somewhere that Gasol is the oldest player ever to record at least 45 points and 15 rebounds in the same game. I'm as pessimistic when it comes to the Bulls as anyone alive. But the Gasol signing is easily the best non-LeBron back to Cleveland move of last off-season. NOBODY thought/knew he had this much left at age 34.

I went tonight and took away two things.

 

1) Pau Gasol's skill + height will allow him to age very, very well.

 

2) Snell wasn't scared. He went 1-7 but with little hesitation and his D was pretty good.

@BleacherReport: Report: Kevin Love expected to opt out of current deal and is unlikely to sign long term"
