lostfan Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) Doesnt he have a history of being mediocre for Utah in the playoffs too? I could be making that up but thought it was always a knock against him. He had a reputation I guess cuz he'd fold against the Lakers, but he was 20-12 there, not exactly b**** numbers. And the Bulls would be beating Indiana by double digits if he was doing that. His rebounding is fine though. He gets them easily because he boxes out.

So don't use a post full of bait, to tell people to knock it off. It is kinda counterproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting him to take over once hibbard left, he didn't. He needs to back people up more, especially hansbrough when that's who is guarding him.

SoxAce Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 To guys like Felix and J4L, it is pointless to discuss pure basketball intellect about a player on a team in that city's message board. While I agree/disagree with what has been posted, it's just not going to go in favor here. Like I said before, it pisses me off how much Chicago people overrate Rose just as much as it pisses me off how much non Chicago fans underrate him. We can all agree that Derrick Rose is damn good, and will only get better. You can also throw away any post which says he's god when he's going to win MVP and not even be the best player in the league. (though how people are arguing he is over LeBron just proves the overrated point) BUT, he is definitely the most valuable on his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I didn't see anybody arguing that Rose was better than LeBron anywhere I've read in here... that he should be MVP yes but basically everyone concedes that LeBron is probably the best player in the NBA even when they say Rose is MVP. If the MVP went to the best player in the NBA, then MJ would have about 14 or 15 of them. I don't know... I mean you guys are taking things that maybe 2 posters have said and exaggerating it so you can chest thump or... something. What are you even trying to accomplish actually? I mean, really, I don't know. Edited April 23, 2011 by lostfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Pachulia got upset and started talking, Richardson said something to him, Pachulia headbutted Richardson, who then slapped him back. It was pretty ridiculous.

I mean, really, I don't know. From what I read, they want to be cool and different and think that throwing unproven statistics in our faces will make us say "you're right, the Bulls should totally offer D-Rose for CP3, because that would be brilliant!" Oh, and that I can't say that's a crazy idea without being a labeled a "homer", even though Rose is going to win MVP at 22 years old. Infuriating.
