The Chicago Bulls has become a one-man wrecking crew in their opening round series against the Indiana Pacers. Derrick Rose is averaging an astonishing 37.5 points per game or an equivalent of nearly 40% of the Bulls scoring average in their two wins. Pundits believe this is dangerous because of the predictability in the offensive game of the Bulls but Chicago head coach Tim Thibodeu has no plans of changing the team’s strategy. He strongly believes that the scoring of Rose remains their strongest point in the playoffs, according to the Bulls official website.
“The game dictates the scoring. He’s the primary scorer. The ball is in his hands a lot. We need him to score and he’s done it. Now he’s playing more (minutes) than in the regular season, so he’ll get more opportunities to score. I’m comfortable with his decision making. He’s the leader. He’s earned everything he’s gotten. He runs our team great and I think he wants the challenge.
“It’s the playoffs. Wins are hard to come by. They’re a good team. I want us to play better. I want us to improve. But you have to give them credit, also. We’re not going to change our approach.”
