gotemcoach:

He didn’t need to befriend every good player in the league or link up with anybody who became a free agent. Rose hasn’t found that he needs a nickname or carefully crafted image.

He’s a doer, a leader, charismatic in a way perhaps only Chicagoans understand — without smiling and clowning and dancing and posing, kind of like a young Dick Butkus. He has represented Chicago in a way even Michael Jordan couldn’t.

Jordan is an adopted son, Rose a native son.

“There just can’t be any basketball gods given the way this season went for the Bulls. None apparently interested in fairness, anyway.”

—The inimitable Bulls beat writer Sam Smith on this Bulls season

The old basketball based gods and the new. The old basketball based gods, well, a Bull walked among them. These new gods, however, have been a real pain in the you know what (earmuffs: the a$$). Someone gave birth to a smoke monster underneath the United Center and brought down the would-be kingdom. Too dramatic? Maybe, but HEY there is always next year.

HEY look, it’s next year! Welcome to the Chicago Bulls 2012-13 season which will begin at the ending— the beginding. Hopefully, Derrick Rose will be jogging in place. Most likely, Luol Deng will be out because of wrist surgery that he is putting off until after his England national team gets blown out by the Republic of Wadiya in the summer Olympics.

And Carlos Boozer. Send a raven to Gar Foreman and John Paxson requesting an immediate amnesty. In fairness, Boozer had a solid season but the taxonomy of an NBA team is based on salary, and 15 points with 8 rebounds leaves Chicago with a 3-year $40 million dollar-sized hole where their second best player should be. It is a legit question “who fills that hole if Boozer gets let go?” At this point doing it to make more room for Taj Gibson and Omer Asik feels like a good enough answer.

Given Rose’s injury and the time it will take to adjust to it once he’s back on the court the Bulls may not be truly whole until 2013. Even then you can’t expect Rose to carry the same offensive burden he has these past two seasons. It is up to Chicago’s front office to have the foresight to lessen that burden where and when it can.

A man has said.

Interesting Stats from '11-'12 (via reddit):

nbaoffseason:

Here are some highlights.

The Lakers had more alley oops than the Clippers by a margin of 15.

Serge Ibaka blocked more shots (241) than Andrew Bynum (116) and Dwight Howard (116) together. The second on the list is DeAndre Jordan, with 134 blocks.

LeBron James dished out more assists than Russel Westbrook, grabbed more rebounds than JaVale McGee, blocked more shots than Chris Bosh, finished fourth in the league in steals, 1st in +/-, 1st in efficiency and 1st in PER.

James Harden’s beard increased in length by just over a foot throughout the season (estimation).

“Flight. 3 pm. Pack for 3 games.”

- White board in Lakers locker room after Game 5. After Denver took Game 6, looks like they only had to pack for one. Close-out games are actually kind of confusing. (via nbaoffseason)

Rajon Rondo’s tip-off trickery.

via @Jose3030 & @mrtrpledouble10

Rondo is the oddest dude in the NBA. Not in that, “hey look at how odd I am” kind of way that Rodman or Ron Artest were. Rajon is genuinely just a different type of dude, he’s not doing it for the attention, in fact he hates the attention. He just does it for his own entertainment.
