    ...is the most exciting player in the NBA. I haven't seen anyone this explosive since Allen Iverson's rookie year.

    You just now figuring this out? A few of us caught on 4-5 games after the season started. I think Rose could end up being the next megastar.

    On an unrelated note, Beasley is somewhat underrated in retropsect I think, especially his athleticism. He is smooth and a good athlete don't get me wrong, but he isn't as explosive as people have made him out to be during college. He has good skills but at 6'7 he is currently more of a undersized power forward even though he can dribble and hit the three occasionally.

    For anyone that cares, this game is on WGN. Rose just made a two-handed overhead slam look majestic.

    Just saw that. It's a shame the bigs on that team suck so bad.

    What the hell. Hinrich closes and Rose sits?

    The Suns had a chance when they cut it to 105-101, but then they crumbled. I don't know if I've seen the Suns win a game this season. I'm bad luck to them.

    Same thing for the Raptors.

    FWIW, one of the Blazers announcers said he thinks Terry Porter's job is in jeopardy. He's probably just babbling though.

    I find it interesting that they played Hinrich over Rose for most of the fourth quarter.

    Me thinks they might be pumping up Hinrich for a trade.

    Hopefully to us.

    The way I see it Hinrich is making himself more valuable to the Bulls in each passing game. Especially since that they were in a slump when Deng & Hinrich were out but improved with the return of the pair.

    They won't win much this season with Terry Porter as their coach. I don't know if you saw his hack a Bowen strategy the other day. The Sun's player were literally saying WTF is he doing.

    I think rose tweaked something after that 2 handed dunk, he was wincing after it and didnt come back in.

    if they had just kept aldridge instead of trading him for tyrus I think they woulda been a very good team this year but on the flipside they probably wouldn't have gotten rose bc they wouldve been better last year so meh I love hinrichs game wish we could have him here instead of alston

    This is exactly what happened. He asked to come out of the game. It was his foot.

    If Rose ever develops a solid 3-pt shot he will literally be unguardable.
