The reckless abandon part frightens the hell out of me. I know that's his game, but I'm hoping for a bit more cautious abandon. I'm not asking Rose to drive like he's in a school zone, just be aware of the black ice.

I'm over here analyzing this sh*t when I have legit work to do.

That part of being a Bulls fan is over for me.

I am not going to miss Deng standing around and looking helpless in clutch time in the playoffs. We needed more offense oriented depth.

Yeah, and we didnt get it. Our wings are not very good or are unproven as our only real hopeful is a rookie. I'm not exactly optimistic in that regard. I hope McDermott and Snell can shoulder the load, but i'm not impressed with what we have now. Deng is still better than anyone we have currently to play alongside Derrick.

I get the feeling, but its who he is. How he plays. If Rose doesn't conquer his fear he'll never be the same player.

And at some level, it will come down to his body is able to hand a pro career continuing or not. Over protecting that test for a year or something - like Jamal Crawford saying he was tentative for a whole year after the injury - really won't do any good to answering that.

Thibs feels the same way.

No point in changing a style of play thats gotten you an MVP and made you who you are.

Its critical to add nuance to that playing style however.

It's going to be in a few, if anyone is watching ESPN. 2 stories away.

-Rose looks better thank some of his peers
-Went full out, was kinda winded
-"looks better than ever" like he never left

sc (via brian windhorst):

rose was impressive - ahead of teammates - he felt good - sometimes in front of teammates
rose: my confidence is very high - through the roof
rose is relieved to come back on the court - scouts said bouncy
coach k said he looked good
rose got winded a little bit earlier, asked to be taken out because he was giving the most energy on the court compared to others
when he was on court, he looked terrific. no sign of even him missing last year
he clearly trusted his knees - really great first day for rose.
paxson & forman were here today

i didnt really understand it when brian said it but i think he meant like rose was giving the most energy + in that context, i think brian was meaning that rose was playing in a faster pace than his teammates at times.

One of the reasons Bulls like Waiters.

Now that's interesting. I know Waiters played relatively well last year in limited mins as a PG. Bulls see him as playing PG next to Rose at SG?

It's more Waiters can create with the ball allowing Derrick to play off ball..

Rose got winded in large part because he hasn't been playing.

Nothing wrong with that Brian H. No need to create a story about him playing harder than anyone else.

Practice. We're talkin' about practice.
