ROSE BUSTS OUT

Preseason NBA basketball is one step up from the Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals. (being sarcastic, but you get the idea…they don’t play much defense in these games)

I honestly don’t know how this Bulls team can come close to making the playoffs this season.

So you are not impressed by those highlights?

Yes, but I can find some of the same kinds of hilites for other players who won’t amount to squat in the NBA this season. It’s a practice game where most guys are just trying not to get injured.

But I do think Rose will be a very good player. I just don’t think he’ll perform like this when the regular season begins.

Picked up Rose in my fantasy draft last night. Hoping for big things from him and Beasley.

I don’t think scrubs trying to make the team break ankles like Rose did, nor do they have his speed. He can get to the hole and finish with either hand. That is a rare skill.

“break ankles”???? Seriously??

I’ve been a Rose pessimist since he was in HS but I gotta admit that he was very impressinve in the Mav’s game. He was running by dudes like they were standing still and hitting some tough shots (admittedly not starters). My only issue is all his moves started with the right-to-left cross-over. That’s gonna get old. But he’s SO much quicker than anyone else on the court.
