It WAS nothing until Rose twisted it again in the showers. Then twice more exchanging meme faces with his son.

To knoxville who made some good challenges.
I'll say its enough that Rose MIGHT be the savior. He MIGHT be. and the point remains it isn't easy to find another PG who MIGHT be. There are a lot of isn't the savior, and unfortunately in this league you need a savior to win it all.
He has proven he has greatness in him, and he always attacks the basket int he playoffs. What do I need to see from Rose to believe?
1) He isn't finishing with the same touch he had as a younger player. He leaves too many low chance balls off the glass and does not have his former self savant like glass touch. It would be nice to see him stay healthy and play at least 60 games if that could come back.
2) This double vision thing, or his conditioning, consistency of effort. Hard to judge the progression of his shot, but his shot is something you want to see inch in an upward direction every year. Rose should be better now than he has ever been, because his shot should be a weapon by now. Is it or isn't it? Hard to judge his work with his "double vision."
3) He should watch Chris Paul to understand when he needs to be the guy, and when to let the team run itself. A point guard should have no agenda's, no plan heading into a game. Paul is the savior when his team needs him to be the savior. The rest of the time he feeds them and builds their ego's. When they need him most, his cape appears. I'd like to see more of that from Rose and not the inconsistency that is hard to figure.

Resting for the Warriors game? :shrug:
I don't think it's that ridiculous to sit out a couple days after you sprain an ankle. My guess is if this were the playoffs or something, he'd be playing.

its not snells on ball defense that is the problem. its his help defense, or lack thereof that is the problem. he never seems to know where he is supposed to be. that's the one thing Dunleavy does such a good job at is his help defense.
on a good note, solid W tonight for the bulls. jimmy was clutch down the stretch and kirk looked like he was 7 years younger out there tonight

That's fair I guess. Imo the entire team's help defense could be better. Jo and Taj know where to be, and Jimmy does too, but outside of these guys (our clear top 3 defenders) there's a lot of inconsistency. Snell definitely falls into that.

Oh hey we won! And Kirk had a good game! And if I had to guess its because he's not playing many minutes.. so he's fresh still.
Bulls are in first. That's all that matters yo.

Having mdj out there instead of snell will be a huge lift. That light still hasn't gone off for snell and I'm not sure if it ever will. I keep thinking it will and that he's just a late bloomer but man, it's hard to stay patient.

Snell now has a frustrating amount of offensive fouls on drives to the basket. I like that he's driving more, but he's got to be smart about it. He's making it too easy for the defense.

Yep. What's worse is when he's playing with confidence and has a better flow/pace to his game, he can get into the paint fairly easily. It's almost like when he gets in there he starts thinking too much or just the opposite, complete turns off his brain and runs through somebody. He has the ability to finish inside but he just needs to man up. I'd say 90% of snell's problems are mental/testicle related. If he gets that under control, he can be more than just an inconsistent 3D player.

he played 24 minutes, half the game. im pretty sure everyone on here before the season had been told that they would of been ripping their dick off saying that's way too many minutes for him. but when you play well, nobody cares
