EastCoastNiner Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) The guy's been a choker his entire life. Whether it's when he played for Memphis, got owned by LeBron, consistently fails to get to the line. etc. If he was playing in a smaller market on a poor team, he'd be absolutely exposed as just a scorer. Keep getting benched in the last minute because your own coach knows you're not that good. Try shooting better tan 40% as well. The only reason he doesn't get crap from people is because he's humble, or he'd just be another Arenas, Francis, etc. Edited April 13, 2012 by BeeBeeSee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Uhhhh. Wtf? The guy's probably a top 3 PG and maybe a top 10 player, but putting in the top five or anywhere near it is absurd. He gets so much undeserved credit and hype that it's ridiculous. Care to tell me I'm wrong about the facts I stated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abro Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Always have said D-Rose is overrated, but idk if that much lol. Whatevs though I'm not gonna complain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abro Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I do agree that he is not top 5 player. And honestly people.. Look how good his team has been doing in his absence with basically the same squad as last season. Not MVP either imo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason he won the MVP is because the media wanted a new face to win it. If it were coaches and GM's that were voting on it, Rose would never sniff an MVP.

Newman Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I don't actually see many people ranking Rose high anyway...I am sure most (including me) would rank CP3 above him in the class of point guards. The thing is that he was the only offensive weapon we had last year and he carried us through many wins last season, which is one of the reasons why he got MVP. I don't think people should use the record of us playing without him as an indication of his importance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've always thought he was overrated as well but this team has no chance to win a championship without him obviously. All you have to do is force the man to jumpers an you'll be fine cause he's so damn broke and inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 He's overrated because the media handed him an MVP award he didn't really deserve but he's still very good. I [expletive]in hate him and the Bulls but he's a great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep getting benched in the last minute because your own coach knows you're not that good. Try shooting better tan 40% as well.I've often pointed out his less-than-impressive shooting numbers, along with some of his performances in the playoffs last year, but you say "entire life" as if he's been in this league for six or seven years. He's 23 years old. And he certainly was not even close to 100% yesterday. Is he overrated? I think so. But he's still a beast and can improve significantly.

Gooner Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Overreact much? Dudes been sitting for the last month. You can't just walk in off the street and play at a high level. He needs to get healthy and get his rhythm back. Edited April 13, 2012 by Gooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 He has been out a third of the season, you cant expect him to just walk in and automatically play at a high level. He's going to need a few more games under his belt to get comfortable. If you've watched him play you would know that he's a step slower and a lot more timid attacking the basket. He's not playing to his strengths and that's because he needs his rhythm back. And as for people taking knocks on his jumpshot, he's actually significantly improved since his rookie season. I wouldn't really call it a weakness in his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 ^Even Chris Paul hasn't been playing at a level that we've been accustomed to watching. I would take Russell Westbrook over him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
