Let's face it, we'll never see Rose in a State Farm commercial.

He's beefing up his resume for an interview with the National Board of Assists. That Don Stockton is a stickler for details.

2323, remember that time when I called you a blind, bitching Rose hater?
Yeah well, pretty sure everyone knows that now.
Keep the laughs coming.

Is it even a certainty he can read?

Read playbooks? Sure he can. Read a book? Who cares?

I'm sure Rose has the basics of reading down.

So, does the playbook have numerous omissions that involve Rose passing? I'm just wondering.

Rose passes the ball all the time. It just so happens that in that game probably only 1 of them resulted in a made shot.

Right. And it's not just a coincidence that Gasol and Noah had 8 and 6 assists respectively. And those are amazingly high numbers considering how much Rose dominated the ball. Imagine how many more they might have had with any kind if ball movement.

Pick and pop with Gasol. Rose passes to Gasol. Defense rotates to Gasol because they doubled Rose off the pick. Gasol hits open man. Man hits shot. Assist for Gasol. Nothing for Rose because he doesn't pass the ball.

Your explanation is that the offense is designed for Rose to not get assists. Lol. Ok.
At what point do you explain how Rose makes others better? He is a PG after all.

They ran that exact play quite a few times down the stretch of the GS game, so yes, I suppose in that case it was in fact designed for Rose not to get an assist if Gasol didn't shoot immediately.
At what point do you realize that this play does not work if the other team doesn't double Rose off the pick? At what point do you stop basing an entire season off of one game? At what point do you realize that Rose is not averaging one assist and eleven turnovers per game?

I haven't even been going at the 11 turnovers but if you want to bring that up, it would be fair to do so.
Ròse was 4/12 on threes. And the misses were ugly.

i agree he was a bit selfish this game and could have passed more
but i don't think Rose will quite have a game like this one ever again

think about it though: we had Hinrich, Snell, Noah starting
who exactly is he gonna trust to score?
Gasol was the only real option
