Who in/ Who out West All Star Reserves
Yesterday, the East All Star team reserves were posted. Today we are going to go to the left coast and see who was rightfully choose and whose name was picked from a hat.
It is considerably harder to chose these All Stars, because the West has more stars. I like to argue and put my guys in the game, but this year, most of them were originally selected. Shame on West’s Head Coach George Karl thinking the same. He picked a solid back up squad that on paper could dominate the East’s reserves if the bench teams played a pick up game.
Rose, the first Bull’s All Star since Jordan
Chicago Bulls fans finally have someone to be proud of. Derrick Rose was named as a reserve for the NBA All Star game.
In his 2nd year in the NBA, Rose is the first Chicago Bull to be named to the team since Michael Jordan in 1998. In case you can not do math, it has been 12 YEARS.
1 win away from even record
The Bulls are finally playing up to their potential. This potential isn’t polished enough to win the NBA championship yet, but they have been making head way towards a winning season. Three weeks ago, fans were ready to stick a fork in them for the entire season.
Fortunately, the team bounced back and have been playing solid team ball. The shocking thing is most of this turn around has been on the road. Last night, the 21-22 Bulls beat the aging champions of the 25-18 San Antonio Spurs to be one win away from a .500 record. The win was the 3rd consecutive road win in the middle of a 7 game trip to the west coast.
Bulls lead Rockets from start to finish
In the 4th game of their 7 game road trip, the Chicago Bulls went to Houston to let the fuel out of the Rockets. This is exactly what happened as the Bulls won 104-97.
Chicago jumped out to a 10-2 lead and never looked back. At times it looked like the Rockets were going to refuel and take the lead, but they didn’t have enough fire power.
