DRose played "revenge basketball" last year

[Nazrmohamed]

that whats wrong about drose...you see 18-4-4 on 47% shooting and your like damn what a resurgence! And if you actually watched him play he was usually the most negative guy on the floor with his atrocious defense and his lack of point guard play.

True but at least now hes in his best role in Cleveland. Come off the bench well rested and just be the attacker you want to be while we they rest LeBron. The Cavs got alot of weapons

[bigtimeRC3]

derrick rose is the most overrated player in history. even when he was healthy, he had no skills. he just ran too fast and got layups. he cant shoot, pass, do anything good. chris duhon could run the point guard position better than him

[dakomish23]

I can't count the number of times he took his frustrations out on the bottom of some poor rim.

While ignoring teammates, specifically KP, in the process.

Hey, he had something to prove!

He had KP in the corner, Lee on the wing and Melo up top al wide open and set up at the 3PT line

Nope. 1 on 4

Although Rose did nothing for us, I hate when ppl use this gif...down 4 with a few seconds left...nothing else to do, yeah he could have passed to KP but they weren't going to foul him for the 4 point play...lol

[NoLayupRule]

D-Rose played revenge ball on the knicks and jackson for sure

what a joke

selfish and lazy

i know he's gonna rip it up for Clev but for us he was pure caca

I agree. This gif is like the Melo not passing to KP with 2 seconds left against Sacramento.

There is plenty of Rose awfulness to draw from outside of a time crunched, hopeless situation.

[Knickerbock]

Drose and Lebron will be running the fast break.. with Wade trailing the play.

Instead of Lebron or Wade finishing off an ally oop..

They will watch rose take the ball down the court himself... and run into the only defender there.. and end up attempting a ridiculous layup attempt..

Still the right play, though, right? If anybody can draw a foul and make a three it's a 7'3'' shooting giant waiting wide open to shoot as a desperate defender comes running at him.WTF was he doing going in for a layup?

Stat padding.......which is what the discussion in this thread is about. It's clear as day now that this little **** was here to do his own thing, no wonder we were such a **** mess.....once again bum ass have beens using the Knicks to get a payday...happens all the time and now we have evidence if you just take what Rose said as a Cav and see the correlation with the way he played for us last season.

Except that Melo heave would of won the game and he was double teamed outside the 3PT line with a few seconds left

You're down 4 under 5 seconds and you go for the 2 on a fast break against multiple defenders, with 3 teammates running with you?

KP was ahead of him

But you're right about one thing - there were others to choose from

[Thugger HBC]

That's the wrong gif to shyt of Rose. He literally blew by all of them.

No clue how people are making excuses for this play. KP was in front of him

Most PGs see that and kick it out to him for that 3.

[NYKAL]

He's good as a combo guard off the bench. Cleveland is a good fit for him

what is the combo exactly ? he does one thing. inefficiently.

Combination of fragility, low intelligence and selfishness. Never seen a point guard so opposed to passing. KP has to be happy he's elsewhere. His inability to play team ball, if total lack of defense, can't see how he'll be a positive for the Cavs.

Most players benefit playing with Lebron. Even a guy like JR Smith was able to improve his image. Somehow, I feel like DRose will be a disaster. I can see a buyout or trade before the season ends there. After that, I expect DRose to either retire or go to China.

So glad this scrub is gone.

[Kurt Rambis]

He might look better due to playing next to Lebron & better defensive schemes. Not because he'll play better. 'You don't change the spot on a leopard'

Same goes for Melo too.

[MrOrange]

Yeah, revenge on the Knicks worked out just fine...

Just like JR

Yes but JR's game is actually useful along Lebron. There is literally nothing useful that Rose can do on a LeBron led team. I am not even sure Rose can do anything useful on any NBA squad anymore.

The Lebron Lazarus tour is definitely in for it's biggest test yet. The other guys at least fit in well as shooters and/or defenders. DRose can do neither.

Wade was able to make it work, but he has 10,000x the basketball IQ to figure out how to play alongside Lebron.

[Knicks Byke]

well basically all he has to do on that team is make a layup and he's good at that.
