It's on NBA.com as streaming video and its a pretty good matchup. One observation is that the 3-point line has been moved back pretty surprisingly far.

I guess I've just been watching too many NCAA replays on ESPN U, so it looks further back.Quote:

Derrick Rose hasn't been doing so good, only has 2 points and is making questionable passes.
Beasley hasn't played much in the 2nd quarter, maybe the sternum.
Chalmers looks good.
And Noah sucks.
Chalmers is making Rose his bitch again.
Derek Rose has not looked liked the 1st pick. He's dribbled off his leg two times already and only has 2 points. Then again its only the first game.
Chalmers is locking down Rose big time. Rose looks frustrated.
Did Calathes play, if so how did he do?
He had a DNP, surprisingly.Quote:

Orlando, Fla.- The much anticipated match-up between Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose proved to live up to its billing Monday, and it was Beasley's Heat that came out victorious, 94-70.
Beasley, who is playing with a slightly fractured sternum, had the upper hand early, leading Miami with nine points in the first half, while playing just over eight minutes. Rose, playing with a sore right knee, managed three points on 1-of-3 shooting in 15 minutes of action in the first half. Demetris Nichols led Chicago with 11 points in the half.
Chicago, led by recently hired head coach Vinny Del Negro, trailed 48-34 at the half.
When the second half began, the action began to pick up between the two top draft picks. Rose displayed spectacular speed on multiple buckets, scoring seven points in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Beasley exhibited his solid shooting touch, lighting up the nets for 14 third-quarter points, extending Chicago's lead to 20, 73-53, at the end of three.
The Heat, who led by as many as 27, shot 42 percent and had only 10 turnovers.
Although his NBA debut was impressive, Beasley didn't dominate every play of the game. Late in the fourth quarter, when he drove baseline and went up to dunk, Chicago forward Cedric Simmons rejected it, drawing quite a reaction from the standing-room-only crowd at the RDV Sportsplex.
Nonetheless, Beasley led all scorers with 28 points on 9-of-21 shooting, while grabbing nine rebounds.
The Bulls struggled from the floor, shooting just 37 percent, and turned the ball over 18 times. Rose finished with 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting, dished out four assists but had five turnovers.
no big problem the stats Rose put up this game are similiar to his career stats on memphis so no worries, same with Beasley... Both Played in their levelQuote:

Wow Beasly was good 28 points im looking forward to see him in the league:D
I give props to chalmers for sticking under Rose's skin, but lets look at game 2
Game 2 Pacers vs Chicago
Derrick Rose 9 Points - 7 Assists - 6 Rebounds - 3 Steals - 1 Block
Game 2 Nets vs Heat
Mike Beasley 9 points (2/15 ouch) - 0 Assists - 7 Rebounds - 1 Steal - 1 Block
I've watched most of both games and so far Rose hasn't looked dominant at all. It's way early though. Chalmers has looked good. Beasley got skunked badly by Williams.
Ya I agree with Rose not being dominant, it almost seems as he is still nervous or somethingQuote:

Comments were on how bad Beasley's attitude was, disinterested, when he ran up against a good defender. What has impressed me the most about the Bulls is Noah sucking.Quote:

SAS would have given them Luis Scola for that pick, most likely. The Bulls should have done it, or at least drafted better.Quote:
