Chisoxfn Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) Eh I guess you have somewhat of a point. You have to get through Cleveland one way or another, why not just do it earlier? But you also have to realize Rose needs time to adjust and get his game back. So barring injury, he's better off playing any team other than Cleveland before the CF. Because our team would still likely be in the process of geling. Tough part about 4 seed is you have a much tougher match-up in first round (6 / 7 / 8 seeds are much worse than 5 seed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinted maybe next week it could happen Literally yesterday he said contact was "in the next 2 weeks". I saw nothing about it happening today anywhere.

Quin Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Broussard said that Rose is looking to facilitate once he comes back now that he knows he has Niko, Pau and Jimmy all capable of scoring 20. That would be best if he could facilitate for 3.5 quarters then become Point God for the last 6 minutes, if he still has it in him. It's Broussard though, take it with a grain of salt.

Broussard can eat a dick, and if Rose needed to see the team without him to know that Jimmy and Pau are good, he's crazy. Niko being dynamic was quite evident as well given his per minute contributions prior to all the injuries. That said, a distributing Rose in this lineup is as deadly as anything the East has to offer... Rose Butler Niko Pau Jo deep ass bench get the hoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I honestly think that Rose seeing them without him might have opened his eyes. It's dumb, but there were quotes from Taj about how he was raving about how Niko opening the floor so much and being so dangerous. He's been conditioned to really not trust his teammates to be this dynamic on offense, maybe now he'll finally learn. Closing lineup of Rose - Butler - Niko - Pau - Noah could be terrifying. Niko and Rose running around the perimeter with slashing ability, Jimmy and Pau posting up, and Noah up top running some ball distributing duties will open up the paint for Pau to go to work. Throw in Snell, Dunleavy and Taj along with situational Kirk/Brooks and you might have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
