I'm surprised that people are ragging on Derrick for his personality (of all things). Even if you can't appreciate his refreshing humility and wonderful lack of pretentiousness (he'd rather eat Skittles and watch Dexter than talk trash about other teams), you can at least appreciate his breathtaking moves on the court. I was at the Bulls vs Lakers game, and I feel truly blessed to be able to root for such an amazing athlete.

Hell, they should be posting up Taj more, in the same Boozy fashion. He used to start the game well for us and I hope he can bring that instinct to his bench minutes.

Maybe Booz and Taj can share notes on their up and under moves.

I’ve been reading alot on how Taj isn’t playing well. I think he’s playing just fine. He’s rebounding the ball when he gets his minutes and really doesn’t need to score if the Boozington/Rose combo are going off. Of course I would like him to make that open jumper, or post up more. All in all Taj is a very solid back up. He can start on any given night and give us quality minutes. I think as the season progresses Taj will be more comfortable coming off the bench. So as of right now I wouldn’t like any trade involving Taj or any other rotation player because I think the Bulls are playing as well as any other tram considering the competition they have been playing against.

Side note
If Rose keeps playing like this I vote his nickname be Clutch. I’ve been calling him that name in my home for a little while now

To the inflammatory article in question: They're doing what drives web traffic, which is a make noise. How many Bulls fans will hit that page just based on the title? To the issue of Rose and free throws: I have a theory that the longer he goes without "getting calls" the greater amount of them he'll get over the length of his career. He doesn't squawk at the refs, which leads to fewer calls, which leads to greater respect from officials, which leads to more calls later in his career (like when the Bulls may be in a position to contend for titles). At the very least he'll only get better at drawing fouls as he gains more experience. Last note - the whole issue of Rose not drawing fouls has become a hot topic around the league which can only help the issue. Who knows, maybe some refs will even read that steaming pile of words and keep it in mind for the rest of the season *wink*.

“Oh, and they’ve played the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, too.”

Minor point: correct me if I’m wrong, but the Bulls have not yet played the Heat have they?
