I never said he didn’t improve, I said the halfcourt heave argument is a bit silly. League average is at 35 and a bit so he’s still below average. I love watching Rose play but he takes too many threes a game considering his %age. And considering the fact no one can stay in front of him on a drive.

@Mogias, Roses stats for 3-pt shooting for his career, Rookie season 22%, sophmore season 27%, this year 33.3%. Teams now have to consider him a 3-pt threat. I doubt that you will be around to read this. Lets hope that the Bulls stay focused for the Cavs game, a potential “let down” game.

Just a small note, Rose has had 19 such heaves on the season, over 312 or so quarters. They’ve dragged his 3pt % down 1.5, without those he’d still be a below average 3pt shooter. Just wanted to say that cause I find the whole thing an insignifcant argument.

That said, last night was an entertaining game to a non-Bulls fan, and an impressive win for you guys. Well played.

The Ball finally dropped in the right place for us here in Chicago I am so glad that Rose was there when we won the first overall pick. Timing is always key and it all worked out.Like its been said I love it when A plan comes together. Thank you DRose and DoAll Deng for bringing the fun back to Chicago as well as winning we are all winners here and now the fun has finally come back home here in Chicago.

Great post Antz. It is a recurring thing for the words statement game to come up for our Chicago bulls the statement games have been played each and everyone of them win or lose ,our Bulls have said it loud and clear even the other side of the world knows now The Bulls are here and they are real as can be.
Now last but not least the playoffs are a new kind of monster but so are the Bulls they have beat the odds of winning the east and Rose has won the Award not just being cocky its his, there is no way he does not win it after last nights game. Great post on the Bulls also. Enough said peace

Great win, after last night’s game I felt like the Bulls are not the underdogs against the elite teams.

When I read that Rondo is on the NBA All-Defensive 1st Team last season, and I was wondering about DRose’s numbers against NBA top elite point guards(Westbrook, Rondo, Paul, D-will, Kidd, Curry, Nash, Parker, Billups and Wall). So I did a little calculation:

Opponent averages: FG%:42.3, REB:4.5, AST:8.6, PTS:13.6

Rose’s average against the elites: FG%:43.4, REB:5.2, AST:6.1, PTS:24.7

Rose’s record against the elites(only if they played in that game) is: 16W-5L
(there might be errors in my calculation since I was in hurry, but I’m 95% sure its accurate)
