Noah: Rose League's Best Closer

[daspurs]

at Heat fans. You have Wade and Lebron and the Bulls are still better than you.

You have dirk nobalski and no ring . Chokers .

[Giuseppe]

If Rose can beat Rondo, I'll stand down.

[Muser]

I don't mind the bulls, I just don't want Boozer to win a ring.

[Killakobe81]

If Rose can beat Rondo, I'll stand down.

Cully you my boy, but what does THAT have to do with a regular season award? He beat him in the regular season ...

And Rondo has played well against the knicks since Billups went down, but he is not better than rose.

I didn't either until this year. I have no choice but to root for that clown

Never much cared for him either and he was so hit or miss against the Lakers in the playoffs, mostly miss ...on second thought, I will miss him

he was always good at missing shots under the basket come playoff time ...plus he does playbyplay on all of his misses, (aww he got my arm!!!) every make (AND 1!!!) and every rebound (give me THAT!!!)

Plus he is a Dukie ...

Nothing. I don't do "awards." I just wanted to cite my belief that Rose is only better than Rondo if he beats him, OR, if they don't meet, Rose then proceeds to ring.

Failure makes the good ones want to get better. This year Rose missed a game tying free throw against the Clippers in December and it stuck with him. At the time he missed that free throw he was shooting about 76% from the foul line...not bad but not automatic either. Since that miss? 89% foul shooter the rest of the year even with his attempts increasing as the year went along. He learns from his mistakes pretty good. I hope he learned his lesson last night to stop with the low percentage chucking. If he had played a smarter game they wouldn't have needed any "closing".

I agree with this. He has improved his game in a lot of ways. Kind of ridiculous to hang the NCAA le game on him forever. Missing FTs is one thing... not exactly in the realm of calling a timeout when your team has none.

If Rose isn't the mvp, who is? Lebron?

Only one with even an argument is Howard.

Rose >>>> Rondo

Stop fooling yourself Cully

Rose >>>> Rondo

Stop fooling yourself Cully

I just wanna see it. If I see it I'll cite it.

It's my religion.

Otherwise, Rondo is tops.

If he played for the Heat, Spoelstra would probably rank him the third best closer:

1. Eddie House
2. Dwyane Wade
3. Derrick Rose
4. LeBron James
