The have played the Bulls twice in the preseason and won both. Guarding the point guard doesn't get any easier tonight with Derrick Rose in town. During the pre-game press conference Coach Carlisle mentioned his "electric presence on the court" and how his "skill level keeps moving up". Coach also talked about Joakim Noah and his ability to get clean-up points off offensive rebounds. Tyson Chandler and Derrick Rose were teammates this summer during the FIBA World Championships winning gold. This will be the Mavs first nationally televised game of this season and you can tell. ESPN has cameras everywhere from catching the players exiting vehicles to with us in the press box.
