Thibs: Kirk practiced, Jo didn't. Jo won't play tomorrow vs. Indy. Tweaked his groin.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h
Hinrich practiced and Thibodeau will decide if he plays tomorrow. Noah's groin sidelined him today and he won't play in Indy.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h
By the way, I think we all should pause and acknowledge this moment: Thibodeau acknowledged and revealed an injury.

Aggrey Sam ‏@CSNBullsInsider 1h
Taj "could" start, Thibs planned to use him more at the 5 anyway. Jo could probably go if it was the regular season, more precautionary.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h
No need to worry though: Thibodeau wouldn't reveal if Taj will start for Noah or how many minutes starters will play.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h
Noah slipped on wet spot on floor a few days ago. They're holding him out as precaution. #Bulls

Aggrey Sam ‏@CSNBullsInsider 1h
Slipped on a wet spot, but better now, appears to be moving well.

Aggrey Sam ‏@CSNBullsInsider 1h
Kiel's issue was his back, will play tomorrow. New Nickname

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h
Hinrich said back spasms have subsided, plans to play.

Aggrey Sam ‏@CSNBullsInsider 1h
Jo: "I probably won't play for the first couple of preseason games"

Aggrey Sam ‏@CSNBullsInsider 1h
Jo announced that he'll be with adidas.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h
Jo said he ditched Le Coq Sportif, may sign with Adidas.

Aggrey Sam ‏@CSNBullsInsider 1h
Then said he didn't sign yet: "I'm not with adidas yet"

Mike McGraw ‏@McGrawDHBulls 17m
Noah said Bulls are using a new offense this season, more of a read and react.

Mike McGraw ‏@McGrawDHBulls 13m
Rose on 1st game: "Right now, I feel like I’m prepared and I feel like I haven’t missed a step."

Flowers can attest that not playing was difficult for Rose. That was especially the case when Rose heard about people criticizing him. While Rose told the media he wasn’t paying attention to the outside world, Flowers said he and his roommates would feed everything to Rose, even if he didn’t want to hear it.

“He’s not on the Internet,” Flowers said. “He’s not one of those people who listens to all of the criticism out there. But I’m someone who comes to the defense of all of my friends. We heard everything that was said about him, whether it was retired players, current players or whomever. We saw everything.

“One thing we always do, we always try to give him an advantage. He might not want to hear it, but we tell him because he might use it as a competitive edge and gain from it. I believe he uses it. He might not say it, but he uses everything people say about him in a positive way.”

Whether it’s that ammo Rose’s friends have been feeding him or Rose just being away for a season, Flowers and Andre Hamlin, another of Rose’s close friends, have noticed a different sort of confidence in Rose leading into this season.

“Derrick told me his freshman year in college he was going destroy everyone and be the best,” said Hamlin, who is Rose’s chief of security. “Now he has that same drive, and now it’s even worse. The confidence he has now, I have never seen it before.

“The biggest thing is he’s prepared. He’s prepared himself. He was going to the gym two, three times a day in the summer. He’s been working his heart off. One thing he tells me is he’s not hoping to have a good season; he’s prepared to have a good season.”

Flowers has received that same message from Rose.

“Whenever I talk to Derrick, I see a confidence I didn’t see before,” Flowers said. “He carries himself in a different manner than even the last four years. He believes, ‘It’s my time.’ He’s prepared in so many ways to take that next step.”

It's about that time for Rozay's logo to appear over Gotham:

that's our cue to start parting these other nikkas like french braids as we represent the crew .

My Lord I'm excited for this entire season. The Bulls did us proud as a fan base last year, and if they can give that type of effort, show that amount of heart as a collectivist whole, and not become lax due to Rose returning, then the sky's the limit for this squad. It can not overstated how Rose just being on the court will open up the game for the likes of Deng, Buckets, Taj (I personally think he'll benefit the most), and even Booze's bum ass. It was cringe worthy watching the aforementioned players even attempt to remotely handle the load offensively. Now, the Bulls shouldn't need to manufacturer so many W's by committee every single night - everyone knows who the man is and the others can fall into their role and focus more on their strengths both offensively and defensively. The East is most definitely top heavy, but I don't give a single fukk about any of these other teams out here. I'm not going into any of these games thinking that the Bulls are about to catch an L (barring the inevitable injuries of course).

Let this season commence and let's fukkin' get it .
