Derrick and Larry
Tremendous Upside Potential —
Did anyone else notice that Derrick Rose took his last shot tonight eerily close to where MJ took his final shot in a Bulls uniform on the same court? For that reason alone it would have been sweet had Rose hit that shot, taken with about six seconds left in the fourth quarter and the Bulls down one. The ball of course bounced back to the corner for the much maligned Larry Hughes, who somehow hit a miracle fadaway at the buzzer. On this roadtrip, the Bulls will take a win any way they can get it, even if it's as weird as this one. ...

Last night, they beat a hobbled Jazz team (who were without stars Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer) in dramatic fashion as Larry Hughes (yup, that Larry Hughes) hit a shot at the buzzer to put the Bulls up 101-100 and seal the victory. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
