Of the Hinrich rumors, that might be the one I like the most.

I live in Denver and they would REALLY like to get Kirk at PG, maybe more than any team out there.

It's scary to think 3 of our 5 starters could be out there...

But I expect Gooden to start at the 4 to start the year at least. I know it’s 2 quarters of a Summer League game, but this still isn’t encouraging.

Heat are running the pick and roll

much better. The Bulls just use the pg to bring the ball up and swing the ball to the other side. What the hell Del Negro, why dont you try that too???

did Rose even attempt an alley oop

in the 1st quarter (didnt catch it)?

by Jbonelli on Jul 7, 2008 5:06 PM CDT   0 recs

I mean, I guess...

Maybe a Rose blow by, all he has ot do is throw it up…im sure tyrus could grab it

by Jbonelli on Jul 7, 2008 5:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

You can't grab the ball if there's 4 people crammed in the paint with no idea what's going on

Alley-oops require timing, something Rose would not have with his brand new teammates.

by Ozzie Montana on Jul 7, 2008 5:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'll say it again. No spacing.

The one time he had space he made a move and took it to the rack. If you expected something other than this with Rose, you had the wrong expectations.

by Scotter on Jul 7, 2008 5:12 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Even Paul only attempted what,

2 alley-oops per game last year?

People, this is the first half of the first game of summer league.

The dire prognostications are a little crazy.

The only thing that concerns me (very very very slightly) at this point is that Rose keeps getting beat off the dribble. That was the achilles heel of our perimeter defense last year. Rose is supposed to be quick enough to guard the opposing point one on one. If he is going to be paired with Gordon over the long term, he needs to be a great defender.

He got beat off the dribble a lot at Memphis too. He has the physical ability.

But, he simply isn’t good at containing penetration right now.

by Scotter on Jul 7, 2008 5:15 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I tink its not so much Rose...

as it is Tyrus and Noah…they should be containing these guys, and Tyrus should be dominating. He’s a third year player, he should be dropping 30 in these contests, against sup par competition…post the f*cuk up, go for a hook shot…something

A wise man once told me:

“Some people are just fuckin stupid, and they’ll probably have 7 kids who grow up to also be burdens on society. If you keep struggling against the tide of stupidity you will fucking drown in it.”

I’ve taken it to heart, maybe you should do the same.

Hence, Pax spending a lot of time trying to deflate expectations.

Derrick has the capacity to improve defensively, but he’s not a great defender yet. He’s also not great at the pick and roll. But when people spent the past couple of weeks dreaming of instant gratification, it seems like some started thinking it was reality.

I’m not getting the feed right now, but if he’s guarding Mario he’s also playing against a very quick and competent guard, so that’s not an easy first game match up if he’s a little nervous to start with.

If nothing else, taking Rose will at least piss off Pat Riley.
