Ofcourse Noah has to do something annoying and arrogant as he has to every time he scores a basket.

An exciting play, but not a great basketball one.
Never leave your feat for a pass etc.

These guys are the best basketball players in the world. They make plays that aren't appropriate for amateurs. The best of the best make plays that aren't appropriate for other pros.

He also had a sweet behind the head pass to Gasol that was awesome.

Oh this is becoming a trend in the NBA

I guess it's annoying if you're not a Bulls fan. Those antics come from the same place that his hustle does, so I'm not complaining.

[Sc0pe92]

Thank god he didnt pull a brandon knight.

[Ice Man]

His knees seem to be fully recovered, to judge by that cut to the left. That was ... devastating.

Hs ankles must also be fine.

But if he would have came down with it and travelled, then it would have been a terrible play. Good eye to see the Noah, but should have never left his feet to make the pass in the first place.

Well, that's Derrick. He has always liked the jump pass, and this year even more than in the past. You'll be seeing plenty of those on Thursday.

That advice applies to people like us. Certain players are exceptions to this and Rose is one of them.

The thing is he was initially going to Gasol and mid air figured noah would be the better play. It was a sick pass.

A nice assist indeed. It's a good thing the defender didn't fully commit and cause the turnover.

Hope rose plays on Thursday

While leaving your "feat" for a pass is always a big no no, it was still quite a "feet" of athleticism pulling off such a pass.

Are you sure he changed his mind? It almost looked like that was the intent all along, the fake pass is what froze the defender.

[Getembuck]

Has anyone questioned what greg monroe was doing on that play. Yes the initial fake out was fine, but what was up with the delayed throwing his hand up in the air when ball had been delivered.

[Lolo]

So many critical posts on this thread. Can't y'all just enjoy the nice assist? The Rose dislike is so high around here that people are complaining about a jump pass not being a technically sound basketball play. That's absurd. BTW... Rose jump passes all the time.

Next is the triple clutch pass

An exciting play, but not a great basketball one.

Sure, don't make a habit of it, don't go around jump-passing, but sometimes you leave your feet to shoot and you decide you want to pass instead, or you attack the basket and the angle you saw closes up, so you pass instead.

Nice. NICE. Noice.
