Prove to me Derrick Rose is Good.

you're not mad but almost all of your posts resolve to name calling? that's childish

[DanielBoone]

so we're allowed to shift time and exclude bad games only when it helps Rose. Oh I wasnt aware of that, sorry. hurr durr.

by the way to bulls fans claiming NOW the team around Rose last year sucked, before the playoffs you all claimed they were super underrated and the only reason they didnt win 55 games was injuries.

you cant have it both ways and morph your current and past opinions to fit your agenda. pathetic

now that the bulls homers are clearly trying to divert the topic away since they cant make any real points or arguments (because the numbers dont back you up, not your fault) I'm gonna go ahead and chalk this one up as a victory to myself and leave. me 1-0 bulls homers. good game, i'm out

No one is excluding them. I'm saying the last (54 really) NBA games he's played, Rose has been a beast.

Therefore, its pretty easy to predict he's going to keep on being that and only get better this year as he's 21.

Gilbert hasn't been a beast in 3 years. Hasn't even played consistently in 3 years. See the difference?

You've been the one conveniently ignoring that Arenas hasn't played anything close to a season in 3 years. If it's ok to judge Arenas performance based on 32 games last season, it should be ok to do that to Rose post all star break. You can't have it both ways and morph your current and past opinions to fit your agenda. pathetic.

You've been ignoring every valid point made against your opinion, but whatever floats your boat dude.

Should have saved us the trouble and never came in, as all you've done is troll and make vapid comments.

1) But we're allowed to exclude the fact that Gilbert's been a shell of himself for the past 3 seasons, and only played 20something games before pulling a gun on a teammate?

2) Unlike Gilbert, Rose is actually capable of playing through an injury. He doesn't miss entire seasons for some b.s. reason. Rose proclaimed himself healthy to the media some random day late December, and since then we've tracked his statistics: He's basically been 23, 6, and 4 on over .560 TS% and a PER of 21-22. That stat line puts him in the same sentence as Brandon Roy and a sophomore Dwayne Wade, not a washed up Gilbert.

by the way to bulls fans claiming NOW the team around Rose last year sucked, before the playoffs you all claimed they were super underrated and the only reason they didnt win 55 games was injuries.

No, we've always claimed they've sucked, and the statistics prove it. Kirk Hinrich and his TS% of of 50.1% sure do a lot for the Bulls. Most of us didn't even expect to make the playoffs, but yeah keep stereotyping all Bulls fans

Beautiful. Thank you for pointing out the hypocrisy.

I might be wrong but I'll assume that you didn't see Gil play very much.

I otoh, saw every single game he played in last season and he's far from being "washed up".

And in fact,as the season went on he was starting to look more and more like his old self.


PS:Gil did not "pull" a gun on a teammate.

[Miklo]

This thread is getting ridiculous. Daniel Boone you need to stop lacing your posts with personal attacks and flaming in general. Everyone else, please don't lower yourselves to that level in responding - you're exposing yourself to the risk of a warning just as much as he is when you resort to personal attacks.

Everyone has been warned now, further drama will be handled dramatically.

Thanks

[DaeDae]

This thread is full of epic fail! Did someone really decide to score the debate and declare himself the winner?

[redshortz]

wow, anyways...

I don't really see what Bulls fans are getting riled up for. Derrick Rose is an awesome talent in this league, and quite frankly his game really speaks for itself. Don't dignify these haters with a response as to why this kid is sick! Quite frankly, I'm very surprised a thread like this was created to begin with...

"prove to me Derrick Rose is good"? The proof is right in front of your face.

[jcuuofd]

This thread is 24 pages of trolling.

No one kicks a dead dog. If Rose was not good people would not feel the need to trash him.

It doesn't matter. 28 games is still not a large enough sample size. If we're using selective games to pick out, we should use Rose's last 54 games where he played injury free..23 6 and 4 on better efficiency, better PER and on a better team is better than anything Gil did this season

[LarsV8]

You can put me in the Rose is overated camp. He is certainly a good player, but I think he is fool's gold as far as a franchise guy. He reminds me a ton of Steve Francis, and Stevie was a much better defender. I think he picked up a ton of hype coming from being the number one guy in a very weak draft and sustained it by being high usage and flashy.

When I watch him play I see a guy who will flourish in his youth but falter after he starts losing his athleticism and quickness. I dont think he is smart or basketball savy enough to adjust his game.

In my opinion, he is the fifth best PG in the league but the gap between him and tier above (Nash, Dwill, Rondo, C3) is much larger than the tier below (Billups, Brooks, Curry, Westbrook)

[Legendary 33]

Also, just wondering, why wasn't this thread locked 23 pages ago? The OP presents no basis for his opinion and deliberately started a flame war..

[ahonui06]

Daryl Morey would be proud of this thread.

Another brilliant contribution from a poster who rarely watches Rose play
