Rose, Bulls scrimmage

During a scrimmage, a team of Rose, Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas, Aaron Gray and Demetris Nichols lost a mini-game to a squad featuring P.J. Cousinard, Marcel Jones, Keith Langford, Chris Charles and Rashaun Freeman.

Sure, the game was only a few possessions long. But the opponents weren't exactly household names, either.

"I wouldn't say everybody's in their best shape, but we're not used to playing with each other yet," Rose said with a smile. "We have two-a-days (today), so I think we'll play a lot better."

Bulls fans don't panic. The the players they played against have nothing to lose. They want to impress each and every play. Now if this became a habit, then there would be reason for concern.
