Bulls' win over Warriors was mostly about Derrick Rose, and a little about Anthony Randolph

Quick postgame entry from: Bulls 115, Warriors 110.

First and foremost ...

Derrick Rose.

That was impressive. I realize that winning a game at Oracle isn't quite the same as getting a victory on the road in Utah, but my goodness.

He's awfully good. Guess the only question now is whether he'll be Chris Paul-Deron Williams good.

...

Not to take anything away from Anthony Randolph. Impressive, too. And reason for optimism.

What I liked most was how p.o'd he was after he missed the layup.

...

Can't say I ever begrudge Larry Hughes anything. He's tough to root against, and he had a real nice game.

Which brings me to my next point. It's not just dumb luck when a so-so 3-point shooting team comes into your building and goes 10-for-23.

Those weren't 10 hand-in-the-face 3-pointers that went down. Those were 10 good looks _ and then some. And they were good looks because the defense didn't close out.

...

I've got to believe that Bulls victory had a lot more to do with Del Harris than Vinny Del Negro.

...

C.J. Watson already has gone above and beyond and contributed more than anyone should have reasonably expected.

But Nellie's got to tell him that he's either got to kick it ahead on the break or pull up for a 16-footer, because  everything else in transition isn't working.

The problem with not converting when you have numbers is that, by mathematical principle, when the other team gets the rebound they'll have numbers.

...

An uneventful four minutes for Marcus Williams. Oh, boy.

...

Just like Stephen Jackson to turn the ball over eight times on the night he goes 13-for-20 from the field.

...

Nothing but respect for Lindsey Hunter, still hounding and almost 38.

...

By the way, this is for another time but worth keeping in mind for those who like to monitor minutes.

When Jamal Crawford shows up and Kelenna Azubuike gets healthy, two guys a night are going to get hosed minutes-wise for the Warriors.

After every game, Nellie's going to get ... "Coach, why didn't (insert name here) play tonight?"
