LOL taking 32 shots

[Pelicans78]

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.

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.

[redzero]

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

Chris Paul in the playoffs > Rose ever

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

Mavs/Heat

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.

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.

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]

That was Iverson's game-plan..

But-but, he's a scorer.

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

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.

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 ing 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 .....

[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 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

"Weed eyes and Gang Signs"

[Bill_Brasky]

"Weed eyes and Gang Signs"

'

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

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

[koriwhat]

who gives a 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."
