iamshack Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) Oh, and for the "nobody can hit a mid-range shot" and "guys just chuck threes now" crowd.. The 5 remaining teams in this year's playoffs just happen to be the top 5 teams in 3 point makes this year. Suck on that Phil and Charles. It's a new game/age/era. If you don't like it, you can always youtube 1994 nba. But J4L, that's because NOBODY can hit the mid-range shots now. If there were some teams that could, it might disprove what you're saying.

DBAHO Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If Dwight gets Bogut into foul trouble often enough, that could be an interesting series. Warriors should win in 5-6 though. I think Daryl Morey is pretty glad that he didn't match that Chandler Parsons poison pill deal also, has worked out very well for em bringing in Smith, Ariza and Brewer instead.

chw42 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Bernstein wrote about a rumor that Rose and Jimmy aren't getting along. Rose was aggressive in the first qtr of game 6, then he stopped doing anything after that and let Butler take the reigns. Bernstein thinks it's his passive-aggressive way of telling Butler to try and be the main man on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff reported some stuff as well. I feel like there could be some semblance of truth to it. Neither will admit to it. Rose has had issues with recruiting star players before. Maybe he just doesn't like sharing the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player or coach statements, no interaction between Rose and Butler to read into... Nothing. Nothing at all. Is there any real evidence out there?

Is there any real evidence out there? No, because no player or coach currently on the team would let that out. Stuff like this seems out of character for Jimmy, but Rose's alleged behavior isn't completely surprising to me. The guy's never willingly recruited superstars the Bulls were courting that were definitely better than him. Gasol or Boozer? Yeah that's fine, they'll be the #1 guy on offense. LeBron or Melo? That means he's no longer the main guy on offense. Rose has built a brand that he's from Chicago and that he represents the city. It would only seem logical that he wants to be the main guy to win this team a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only logical if you accept that Rose would rather be the best player on a mediocre team, versus being #2 or #3 and winning a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he still thinks he's best PG in the NBA. As humble as people think he is, he's got a lot of killer instinct. You don't play as well as he does (when healthy) if you don't have the mindset that you're the best and that you're the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
