INDIANAPOLIS -- Derrick Rose summed up his night, and his team's night as a whole, in one fell swoop on Friday.
"I felt like I played like s--- tonight," Rose said.
Rose and the Chicago Bulls looked lifeless for long stretches during their 104-92 loss to the Indiana Pacers. While the effort wasn't there at times, what has to be more disconcerting for first-year coach Fred Hoiberg is that his much-hyped offensive system is struggling to produce on a consistent basis. The players still seem to struggle to figure out exactly what they need to do in different sets and also seem content at times to settle for jump shots.
