If they had B Gordon, they would be down by 10 pts at least (because Deng would play much less efficient, not to mention how many pts BG would give up), so it would not matter whether Rose or anyone else makes a last min layup. I do NOT miss BG. See the Pistons lost to the Mavs by 5 pts when BG shot 1 for 16 plus 4 TO. Had the Piston not have BG, they would beat the Mavs. See the Pistons just beat the Hawks (which has one of the highest winning% so far) without BG (they defended Jo-Jo well). Had they have BG, they may not be able to beat the Hawks, because Jo-Jo would be on fire (all the Hawks needed was Jo-Jo to make 2-3 extra baskets to beat the Pistons in that game). Jo-Jo always shot well against BG when the Hawks played the Bulls in the past; or Hinrich became much less effective as a PG, because he has to guard Jo-Jo and other elite, tall SGs because of BG’s defensive deficiencies; then many fans on and on bashed Hinrich for not being a better PG. Name one PG in the entire L that can be a good PG if their coach forced them to guard those good/elite, tall SGs all the time and during the entire game?!

The depth of the bench used to be Bulls’ strength. However, this year team has no depth at all. Hunter and Gray are useless, and Pago and two rookies are minimal useful (all these players would not get much playing time even on the Nets or T-Wolves). They basically only have 7 NBA-caliber players, two of them (Hinrich and Tyrus) are injured, and Miller has not played a single good game.

They also need a better coach. VDN is the most inexperience and incompetent coach in the L right now.

Sounds to me like Derrick Rose is scared, maybe he should stop talking about the Hollywood career that’ll never happen, and practice that jump shot alittle more.

“The Bulls really need Kirk Hinrich back.” – said state of affairs.

Can you please correct “Achilles’ heel in the sentence, “However, the Bulls still fell victim to their old Achilles’ heel: namely, they were victimized by an opposing frontcourt player,” to “Walton’s foot?”

While I am highly disappointed in DRose for dropping the ball off to Miller on the last play instead of taking it to the rack himself, he made a decent play. Miller WAS wide open, and Miller CAN hit the fifteen footers. It was a decent play…but not the best. Rose should have taken it. When is he going to realize he needs to be the man, the alpha dog? Watch the second to last play again, the one where Salmons dunked it with no one around the rim. The Bulls were down three with thirteen seconds left. In this situation, you get the ball to Rose (did it) and let him drive to the hoop (did it) for a quick two (didn’t do it; he kicked it out to a not open Salmons for an unnecessary three). Not only did Rose fail to understand the situation (they DID NOT need a desperation three yet; thirteen seconds in bball is an eternity), but if you watch closely, HE HAD A WIDE OPEN LAYUP! THE LANE WAS WIDE FRIGGIN OPEN! Luckily, the Bucks defense is pretty terrible, and when Salmons got the ball, the lane was still wide open, which obviously led to his dunk. However, if Rose understood the situation and accepted his role as the alpha dog, he would have taken it himself on this play, and the Bulls would have saved an extra three-four seconds. He was right next to the rim! This is inexcusable! Blah! I miss Ben Gordon.
