Rose Embarrasses Tyreke Evans
When I was in elementary and high school, Allen Iverson was one of my favorite players because he could make any defender look like a fool with his cross over.
Now, Derrick Rose, my current favorite player, is doing the same thing as he broke the ankle of Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans Nov. 27.
Another sign Chicago is a threat in the Eastern Conference: winning record on annual west coast road trip
There have been many reasons to believe the Chicago Bulls are a real contender in the Eastern Conference this season including individual talent such as Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, new coach Tom Thibodeau with a defense emphasis and off-season pickups such as the $80 million man, Carlos Boozer.
Saturday, Chicago answered the hype once again early in the season, by leaving their “circus trip” on the west coast with a 4-3 record. The first winning record on the annual road trip since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were the kings of the court in 1998.
The pieces of talent and solid coaching are coming together to have the Bulls answer the hype, even though Boozer hasn’t played a game and won’t until Wednesday or Friday.

Bulls-Lakers Highlights
Phil Jackson is a Chicago Bull for life, even in the NBA Hall of Fame
Jackson won six NBA championships in Chicago and five, still counting, in Los Angeles, but there are reasons to believe in his heart he would side with the red and black over the purple and gold.

Laker bench unloads on Bulls for a 98-91 victory
Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson put up their usual numbers and kept the Chicago Bulls (7-5) in the game, but the bench was outscored 38-to-10, which was the main factor in the 13-2 Los Angeles Lakers 98-91 win Tuesday.
The Bulls hung in the game against the Lakers and at times looked as if they could pull out a win as Rose continually drove to the hoop and Noah set up shop in the low post. Rose’s acrobatic layups looked highlight reel material even if they didn’t go in.
But in the end, the game came down to the Laker’s bench hitting daggers while the Bulls bench threw sporks.
