Your 2nd eye provides for depth perception, so I have no idea how he can really shoot effectively with it and I'd also think it would significantly impact your passing ability (which in Rose's case was never a strength). Defensively I'd also think you'd have issues since peripheral vision is off, etc. You can tell he is extremely uncomfortable and playing very tentative.

 

Gotta save those eyes to watch his homeboy bang the same chick, er, I mean, watch his grandkids graduate!

I am just impressed the guy is playing through it. I can't even give him a hard time right now.

Do you really buy it? I'm iffy. I would think if you really had double vision like that you'd be suffering from nausea and vertigo/balance issues. I don't think I couldn't stand walking around the house, let alone playing professional basketball.

If that is the case, then it truly is a damn if you do, damn if you don't. I already feel like with all the griping / hard time everyone is giving him for his performance, its basically like, saying, we made fun of you for not playing soon enough, now you just suck (cause you came back too early). I give Rose a lot of credit for coming back from his last two injuries relatively on time. Even the fact that he was willing to start the year coming off of the bench. Problem is, Bulls front office totally screwed up by continuing to ignore the PG position. Our backups are brutal and when you have Rose playing with one eye (who is also brutal), we are just in a bad spot.

 

This team has to find a way to find a good passing point guard who can play a bit with rose (who isn't the best passing point guard anyway) and help when Rose is out.

our mgmt saw how bad Aaron Brooks was last year and gave him a raise.

ya that made no sense

Doug McDermott promoted to starter

Bring Pau off the bench

McDermott is now starting for Snell, but I wouldn't mind our lineup being

Rose-Butler-McDermott-Mirotic-Noah.

I would put Gibson in over Noah, but we need a true center starting. Can't have Gasol and Noah together.

Noah is such a perfect bench player

Rose is so bad of a player as a watcher and spot shooter. He needs to handle the ball more

Go away, Aaron Brooks.

Oh Derrick, please get it back.

Bulls/Thunder tonight.

 

OKC 137

CHI 108

Seem reasonable?

 

Yea pretty reasonable

Pretty good win there actually. In the first I thought OKC was running away with it.

Some vintage Rose in the 4th there. Good stuff. Butler, as always, with a quiet great game.

Yea pretty reasonable

always have to expect the worst with this team

I had chills watching that 4th quarter. Rose was on another planet.

Rose finally started to handle the ball. I dont like the Q1 Butler ISO stuff at all. Once they started passing it all opened up

Butler played Durant very well

Butler played Durant very well

He had a great 2-way game. Terrific defense and efficient offense.

Noah was fantastic too.

 

The only bad thing for us this game was Mirotic. 2 points in 15 minutes.

I see Derrick still enjoys playing elite PGs.

Niko wasnt terrible but definitely wasnt as aggressive as he should be. He was getting killed on defense initially and then disappeared

This.

It's no surprise that after missing all but 12 minutes of preseason in a new offense, Rose started out s***ty. He showed flashes of being... what... 80% of what he once was to end last season and in the postseason.

 

If Rose can be 80% of THIS KID CAN GO UPSTAIRS then we have something cooking. What Jimmy did last night keeping KD mostly in check while also getting his... I'm drinking the sauce again.
