The Bulls Finally Win!

The Bulls trounced the Washington Wizards tonight getting their first win of the preseason. I was never worried about them losing, but it is nice to get a W. So here are some thoughts.
-Rose still looks like he's rushing on offense, I get the sense he is taking on too much burden offensively. Yes everything HAS to flow through him, but he does have some other weapons. Noah on the high post, Deng slashing and posting up, and Korver camping out behind the arc. I would like to see Rose look for others just a little more, which should lead to easier opportunities for himself.
-It was great to see the Bulls get back to dominating the boards. I know the Wizards are a bit undersized, but tonight's effort was much closer to what I expect during the regular season with Noah going for double digit boards and the Wizards being out rebounded by 16. Early in the season if the Bulls have any chance of winning with Boozer out they have to out rebound their opponent, it's the one big advantage they have over most teams.
-Gilbert Arenas seems completely uninterested in playing for the Wizards. This is a guy who was expected to do anything at the University of Arizona. He was a second round draft pick. And he turned himself into one of the top stars in the League by playing with a HUGE chip on his shoulder. That chip is gone and what remains is a guy who stands out by the three point line and waits for someone to pass him the ball so he can jack a long jumper. It's really sad to see. Gilbert was a very entertaining player and personality before injuries and crazy took over. I'm rooting for him to get his passion back and form an explosive exciting back court with John Wall.
-As for Wall, he is much better than I thought he'd be. He might as quick as Rose, which is really saying something. He is a solid defender and is a better passer than I was expecting. Right now he is not as good as Rose (Rose is an all-star after all), but moving forward who knows. Two years from now these two could be battling for best point guard in the league! That being said, Rose will always be my favorite player.

Other NBA Notes
-The Miami Heat may average close to 110 points per game. Which is really amazing because they will definitely hold their opponents to under 100 points. That's a significant difference. They're still not winning 70 games though.
-It's nice what the Indiana Pacers are doing bringing in Darren Collison but they are still a lottery team and they still don't play any defense. If they win 30 games it will be a successful season.
-Vince Carter scored 25 points tonight, and he won't do it again for a couple of months. The Magic are screwed if they are going to rely on Carter to score 20 a night, completely screwed. My prediction stands, JJ Redick will be the starter by the all-star game.
