Thoughts On NBA at midseason

Does he not blow by people? He passes first and shoots second. He is a Pass first point guard. Maybe you can comprehend that some day.

Also, so you know, 12-15 ft range is a joke in the NBA. Any player, not 7 ft and 300 lbs is required to have that coming into the league. If you cant hit a 12 foot shot, you arent playing. Rose could shoot 12 ft. Heck, he could shoot to about 18 coming into the league. He is isnt finding a 12 ft shot. LOL

Seriously, Dr Chicago, you need to stick to giving out loser Saluki picks. Your knowledge of NBA hoop is lacking if you think one of the better young point guards in the league is now just "finding" a 12 ft jumper.

You obviously haven't watched the Bulls then because Tyrus Thomas doesn't have this, he thinks he does, as he always 'leaves' his wrist cocked after a shot like it is money, but no.

You are pretty classic.

Also, comparing Derrick Rose when he was at Memphis to John Wall at Kentucky is absolutely nuts. Kentucky is so much more loaded then Memphis was, Wall having 2 more assists means nothing. Kentucky has 7-8 guys that can score 20-24 pts a night if they needed too. Memphis had maybe 2-3 and had a unit that had played together for 3 years straight. Rose was a missing piece to that puzzle, Kentucky was built in four weeks.

Yeah, that memphis team was awful. They had three other guys get drafted. They were a veteran team that made it deep the previous year without Rose. Why don't you go back and watch some videos and come chat with me then.

You really havent said anything here. Earlier, you said that Rose is "finding" a 12 ft jump shot midway through his second year in the NBA. Somehow we are now talking about Tyrus Thomas holding his wrist out. Please explain how one has to do with the other. I don't know what game you are watching where Derrick Rose can't hit a 12 foot jumper or is just finding one. Either way, unless I take about 10 valium, I dont think I can dumb myself down enough for us to discuss this.
