Chicago Bulls Jimmy Butler on adjusting to Derrick Rose: "I'm going to have to get used to being wide open." - See more at: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1275391&start=90#sthash.dj9CAyLq.dpuf

Derrick Rose:

Of course I could have played. But I wouldn't have been able to play like myself, and those fans would have been mad about that instead."
He then went on to say that he didn't want to play until he could play like himself and that he had to be selfish about his decision.

Luol Deng:

They talked about his contract situation. Lionel Hollins was asked if the contract negotiations will be an issue this year for the Bulls and Deng. "No, it won't be a problem. Both sides know that Luol Deng is gone." Then he talked about speaking with Deng in Africa this summer, which one could take as implying that maybe Lionel had already spoken with Deng about the issue.

I wonder if he means pre injury better or last season better on that change of direction because he already had that as a weapon and if it's better it's not fair

I hope Teague stopped smoking early enough and Kirk got in a lot of yoga and stretching cause rose out there doing they ass dirty right now in practice

"He’s(Derrick Rose) made it clear to me that he doesn’t want big restrictions on what he can do,’’

-Tom Thibodeau

last season but rose has said he feels he is back to his mvp form if not better

Derrick about to have a dominant season

 

[red222]

Derrick Rose practiced often last season with the Bulls despite missing the entire season following left knee surgery. Still, Saturday had the feel of something different.

"I was attacking a lot, getting to the line," Rose said.

On the first day of training camp, coach Tom Thibodeau noted the same thing.

"His change of direction is much better," Thibodeau said.

And if this isn't music to Bulls' fans ears, not only will Rose participate in Saturday's night session, he will do so with an intensity not seen last season.

"I got confidence in my knee," Rose said. "There’s no testing anymore. It’s going out there and playing hard and attacking."

Rose did admit to a more involved stretching routine that might've developed even if he hadn't suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in April 2012. Such matters typically develop with NBA experience.

But for one day at least, the most analyzed left knee in franchise history allowed Rose to regain his explosiveness and power.

"He attacked all day, in fact from the start," Thibodeau said. "He made that clear."
