Rose averaged 25 shots a game in that series how was he afraid to shoot. The people that subscribe to this board don't know shit about basketball. You just say things and because most of you guys are pretty friendly with each other know one calls you on the stupid shit that comes out. Lebron James rarely checked Rose in that series. He only guarded him during a few possessions in the fourth quarter. But you like a lot of people here get your info. From Bernstein that would have had you think that Lebron James locked him up for the entire series he didnt. He rarely checked Rose. Check. Rose avg. 25 shots per game in that series but he was scared to shoot? You sound like a damn fool

I actually watched the games. When they put LeBron on him in the 4th quarter he was afraid. It goes back to LeBron's last season in Cleveland too. The search function works. I know simple math is tough for you but I would like to believe a painter can see.

He took 25 shots a game. How was he afraid to shoot. If you get your info. From Bernstein you would believe that James locked him up. James didnt even guard him the entirety of the 4th. It was only for a few possessions in the 4th quarter. Usually in crunch time. It's not about a search function it's about knowing what the hell you're talking about. You don't obviously

_________________

They were usually winning or it was a close game until Rose went into his shell. They didn't lose because he shot the ball too much they lost because no one else could score when Rose was guarded by LeBron the last 3 to 6 mins of the game.

Who gets their info from Bernstein? Are you insane? That is a serious question.

True, LeBron really only guarded Rose late in games. For him to chase him around all game would be tough. One reason why Michael didn't like playing the point. My issues with Derick are his assist to turnover ratio and his defense. Neither is near where it should be. His scoring ability has never been an issue when healthy.

Steve, if Kobe Bryant were a point guard on your team, would you release him?

_________________

No. I would make him a 2 guard or small forward depending on the team needs.

It never fails. Now the issue becomes conflated as a way of changing the subject. I never said the Bulls lost because of Rose. What I said was that he played terrible during that series. He did. His decision making stunk. He took a lot of shots and he shot a low percentage. He turned the ball over five times per game and had turnovers in critical situations. The Bernstein narrative has been that James locked him up. He used that as the basis for James being a great defender. I had to point out that James really didn't guard Rose. He only guarded him for a few possessions in the 4th. This guy stated that he watched the games and Rose was afraid to shoot. Was once I pointed out that he took 25 shots a game it became he was scared to shoot in the 4th quarter. He took shots in the 4th one of them being an air ball.

here we go with guess that guy. I have posted here for awhile. I don't agree with Elmhurst Steve about shit but this. He actually has made a legitimate point for a change and he has shown that he knows a little about basketball surprising considering that he is McNeil s guy

_________________

It means he lacks the mentality and requisite skills for the point. He doesn't distribute the ball to others well. He's much more interested in scoring than running an offense.

You don't get it. It's okay. Go tape some baseboard.

Dumb shot by Rose. Could have taken 2-3 steps closer for a higher percentage shot. Instead he shoots from around the 3 point line and I say around, because he was actually just past it, so it would have just been a 2 point FG.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

You said they lost because he shot the ball too much. That wasn't true. I pointed out that they were usually winning or the game was close until he started playing scared when LeBron guarded him late in games. It wasn't only a "few" possessions. My thoughts on those games can be researched. As usual you are wrong.

I might occasionally agree with LTG if he wasn't sini on ketamine.

_________________

No they can't you are king of the non truth. I guarantee you that you cannot find the quote where I said they lost because of Rose. It should be easy to find since this is the only time I've commented on this. You make up a lot of stuff and this is the latest example

_________________

Your thoughts are irrelevant because they are merely thoughts. The fact remains that James didnt check Rose much in that series.

10-ply

Everyone that watched the game saw the same thing. The Bulls were winning or the game was close and then Cleveland/Miami put LeBron on Rose and he played scared. My thoughts and others matter because we were posting while following the game. We aren't coming back years later and trying to say what happened based on a box score.

I was the person that first person to bring up the fact that he guarded him in the fourth not you the expert game watcher. Also the guy said that Rose was afraid to shoot once I pointed out that he averaged 25 shots a game a stat that you can only get by checking a stat sheet it became he was scared to shoot in the fourth.

_________________

had you really watched it wasn't that he was scared to shoot it was that he didn't attack James He Settled FOR Jump shots

_________________

WTF are you talking about? He was afraid of the ball at times. I remember a regular season game against the Heat where Rip Hamilton kept trying to give Rose the ball but Rose started playing Hot Potato with him. As far as that game and all playoff games my thoughts are on record so I really don't understand your point.

Yikes! My thoughts on these games have been on record for YEARS. Now you're nitpicking because I didn't fill in every blank when calling you wrong for saying Rose shooting cost the Bulls the game.
