Bulls definitely play with more energy at home. They really are a completely different team. They are still bad, but they don't look as completely pathetic as they do on the road.
Rose, Gordon and Noc keep them close through the first three quarters. Thabo gets some serious minutes, second game in a row. Makes me think they are showcasing him for a trade. I hope so anyway. Deng and Hughes are as worthless as usual. Gooden is out this game, along with Tyrus, so we go small throughout.
Fourth quarter, Hughes and Thabo both make good offensive plays! Rose looks like he can get to the rim, or get fouled, at will. Hughes plays no defense though. Deron Williams doesn't look as good as usual. He's still good, just not looking like he did before his injury.
Deng doesn't even play in the fourth quarter. Missed some earlier bits of this game so I don't know if he's hurt or Vinny just got wise to him. .
Rose takes Williams off the dribble at the end to salt away the victory! He and Gordon were our main men today. I love how Rose shakes his head during a post game interview after being told that he took over the fourth quarter. It's very refreshing to see a modest NBA star.
One negative is that we only had 16 assists in this game, even though we scored 106 points. Not really moving the ball around.
