LOL taking 32 shots

[Pelicans78]

But he's humble!

[redzero]

He's becoming more and more like Kobe. He's already gotten an undeserved MVP, and all he needs now is five championships.

[TE]

Glorified Westbrook.

[Pelicans78]

Is really humble or does he not have any personality?

[hitmanyr2k]

But he's humble!


I'll take 32 shots from my best player over 10 shots from my best player in an elimination game any day of the week :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Doubt away, but a lot of his misses were ones that usually fall for him.

lol judging a player based on one game.

[dbreiden83080]

That's ridiculous and in a game where Boozer was 7/10..

[TE]

I'll take 32 shots from my best player over 10 shots from my best player in an elimination game any day of the week :lol


He's a Mavericks fan.

Who would you give the MVP this year?

[dbreiden83080]

Who would you give the MVP this year?

Lebron

Taking his talents to South Beach took guts.. :lol

[024]

he's just doing what kobe does. chuck the ball and hope the media ignores your FG percentage.

[dbreiden83080]

he's just doing what kobe does. chuck the ball and hope the media ignores your FG percentage.

That was Iverson's game-plan..

[Pelicans78]

Dirk

Dirk >>>>>> Rose

[Pelicans78]

I'll take 32 shots from my best player over 10 shots from my best player in an elimination game any day of the week :lol

LOL depending on one player offensively. LOL about to get smashed in ECF.

[BRHornet45]

Rose will be Gilbert Arenas sooner than later. another glorified chucker who will either ....

1. Ruin his career with off the court thuggin n buggin drama

2. Ruin his career by blowing out his knees trying to make the highlight reel every drive to the basket instead of passing the ball to wide ass open teammates

[Pelicans78]

LOL one knee injury from becoming Rodney Stuckey.

[hitmanyr2k]

As long as he doesn't disappear like Chris Paul...it's all good to me.

[DMC]

Every Rose has it's thorn.

[dirk4mvp]

Because chucking his team out of the game is much better.

[Pelicans78]

As long as he doesn't disappear like Chris Paul...it's all good to me.

He will soon. Its called Game 5 of the ECF.

[hitmanyr2k]

Because chucking his team out of the game is much better.

You say chucking. I say going to the paint and being aggressive. I get on Rose is he's launching 10 three pointers...not if he's going to the rim. He took a couple of dumb shots in the 4th but other than that he missed a lot of shots he usually makes. Got no problem with it. I would have a problem if he took 3 shots in the 2nd half of a game and look disinterested.

[DMC]

Stern would die on the spot if it was the Hawks/Grizz Finals.

[hitmanyr2k]

Stern would die on the spot if it was the Hawks/Grizz Finals.

I would still watch :lol

[ogait]

I don't know if ppl watched the game or are just talking ... but of those 32 shots, something like 15 were in the 4th and most of them were when he was playing with all the bench guys since he played the entire second half. They really had no other choice other then Korver running trough screens and he was having an off night.

After Boozer and Deng came back they should have diversified the offence a bit, so I blame Rose and coach Thib for that.

But the point is, he didn't took away good shots from his team mates to get his 32 most of the time there was no better option.

[BRHornet45]

son I pray to God it happens because this crooked ass, joke of a "professional" sports league DESERVES to lose money.

He's taking his teammates out of the game. Bulls have a good supporting cast. Not anyone great, but pretty good players. Rose is just too dumb to utilize anyone else.

Chris Paul in the playoffs > Rose ever

Chris Paul is at home. I don't give a shit :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

That's on the coach. If he wanted a diversified offense I would think he would have (and should have) run plays for that. The Bulls didn't run their usual motion offense well tonight. Hawks did a good job of jamming Korver on the screens and I don't know where Deng went.

[redzero]

Rose will be soon, too. If the Bulls had a point guard who could properly utilize talent instead on one who does nothing but chuck, they could get further.

[hitmanyr2k]

Maybe if Chris Paul utilized his talents better instead of taking 10 shots in elimination games and disappearing in 2nd halves he'd still be playing.

[ChumpDumper]

son I pray to God it happens because this crooked ass, joke of a "professional" sports league DESERVES to lose money.lol why do you watch and give them money?

[Capt Bringdown]

But-but, he's a scorer.

[Pelicans78]

Not with the crap he was surrounded with. All of the Hornets starters would be backups on the Bulls.

[hitmanyr2k]

Well...that's on Chris Paul if he keeps passing to "crap" instead of finding a good balance of distributing and getting his own offense. Is there something wrong with Paul taking 15-20 shots a game? Did he have a broke hand or what? Sometimes I think he cares more about his stats looking "efficient" than winning games.

Im with you, hitman. Rose could learn to be more efficient but I wish Paul and Lebron were more aggressive. Both seem to care more about about padding stats and efficiency. I waited all night for Lebron to take over last night. I wish Lebron had more "rose" in him ...

I agree 10 shots is pathetic. That was a close game at halftime and he didn't shoot enough. That's why I want him traded.

[redzero]

Paul would not still be playing because the Lakers still had the advantage from a size perspective.

Maybe if he got to go against the eighth seed Pacers, he could still be playing. But alas, he had to play the Lakers and Rose got to shoot 35%, play significantly worse, and still win, because he got to go against the Pacers.

[ImDaNuts]

LOL @ people comparing Chris Paul to Derrick Rose. D-Rose way out of his league. Also, LOL @ that preacher saying Rose would do 'thuggish' things off the court....he's as humble as anyone and doesn't seem like someone who's into that 'gangsta' stuff.

[BRHornet45]

lol why do you watch and give them money?

son its a guilty pleasure and addiction. its the same reason why the WWE made $500 million last year yet everyone knows that it is scripted, sports entertainment. its the same reason ghazi allows his wife to have sex with strange, black men yet he knows its wrong.

but son mainly because of the smack talk

Please that's an act from Rose. That humble act is BS. He just has no personality. No charisma.

[Bill_Brasky]

I can see making a well thought out argument for someone else to get the MVP, but this Rose hate is beyond fucking ridiculous and petty. He's a great player and a class act off the court, and is the centerpiece of his team....without him they are shit.....

[redzero]

Please that's an act from Rose. That humble act is BS. He just has no personality. No charisma.

And he's too dumb to take the SAT himself.

The Lakers had size on every team. Didn't stop midget JJ Barea from kicking their asses :lol Size has nothing to do with your best player coming off screens wide open from 15-18 feet and still passing to an inferior shooter. I watched those games and saw Paul do this time and time again. Bellinelli could be shooting 0-for-everything and Paul would still rather force a pass to him than take a wide open shot :lol

:lmao gang signs? "OMG a black person is gesticulating!! Must be a gang sign!!" You racist piece of shit.

And son it's a well known fact that like 80% of NBA players smoke in the off season. So the fuck what? The fact that someone can smoke weed and still be a great athlete says a lot about how retarded it is that weed is illegal in the first place.

[koriwhat]

who gives a shit BR? really?

[redzero]

Paul did take wide open shots. I guess the only game you watched was game six.

Paul had 22.5 points on .545% shooting, 6.7 rebounds and 11.5 assists per game. I think that qualifies as "kicking ass."

[BRHornet45]

No it doesn't. If a player goes 7/10 in one half and then comes out and goes 1/3 in the next half that's a 8/13 game. Looks good on paper but is he REALLY kicking ass? Or is he disappearing and passing up shots to inferior shooters and watching his team get their asses kicked in the process? That's the typical Chris Paul game....hey, I was unaggressive in the 2nd half and watched Bellinelli go 1/10 but my numbers look damn good don't they? :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Back on topic, Rose hate is retarded, and if you spew that shit you are a troll or a hater, possibly both.

[ImDaNuts]

BR might be the blackest white guy on the forum

[redzero]

:lol

22.5, 6.7 and 11.5 is not kicking ass? :lol

If only Paul shot 0 for 9 on 3-pointers in Game 1. Or maybe he should have gone 4-18 in Game 3.

No, he would have really taken care of business if he had gone 6-22 in Game 4 and turned the ball over on a crucial possession.

That's kicking ass.

[Pelicans78]

The Pacers and Hawks wouldn't even have sniffed the playoffs in the West. They suck.

[Bill_Brasky]

wouldn't even have

"I can accept failure but I can't accept not trying". When your star player doesn't even try I don't give a shit about his numbers.

[redzero]

22.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 11.5 assists is "not trying," apparently.

If only he shot far worse, rebounded worse, passed less, and turned the ball over more. That's the kind of passion he needed to beat the Lakers.

Which do you prefer? Pretty numbers or disappearing in the 2nd half of games. I'd give Chris Paul all the credit in the world if he were putting up those numbers and staying aggressive for a whole game...but he doesn't. Hornets fans on this very board ripped him a new one for being passive all throughout the regular season and it carried over into the playoffs in 4 out of 6 games.

Look at Lebron. He put up golly-gee-whiz videogame numbers against the Celtics last year in the playoffs and then did a Chris Paul imitation and looked like he didn't give a shit as the Celtics beat down the Cavs. Numbers never tell the whole story.

[redzero]

lol

Maybe if you keep claiming that Paul didn't show up in the second half during the series, it will be true. I guess the Hornets won Games 1 and 4 because other Hornets were the ones coming up big.

But you can keep your inefficient chucking and I'll have my "not trying."
