Derrick Rose: Outta Here!

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I've been vomiting profusely ever since I heard he might play tonight
 
Didnt watch the game but he did pretty good statwise. Let him enhance the role from the bench and his value will get up.
 
Yeah, he wasn’t horrible. I think we’re seriously lacking guys who give max effort on the court right now, so as long as Rose always plays hard in his limited minutes he should be able to make some positive impact.

I expect the same out of Shump too, when he gets back.
 
Might have been our best player last night...him or Green...wouldn’t have won without him.

Hate the long term fit of that lineup...though if were gonna brick threes every night anyway, might as well have a guy who can get to the hoop.

Still did that thing where he drives too deep with no intent of shooting, leaves his feet and throws a terrible pass for a turnover. Though he only did it a few times.

I do think he could have a small role here of basically keeping Wade fresh for the playoffs...but I guarantee that second unit is gonna have even more offensive issues if he consistently plays alongside Wade in it.
 
Been touched on, but if Rose shows he can handle the minutes, and run the 2nd unit, now is the time to slide Wade into the starting 5.

IT3 and Wade are a much better fit because of IT's shooting ability, and a floor spacer with Rose makes much more sense with JR.

I'd rather start Rose than Wade. IT and Wade are a great fit together and let's face it Rose has started more games in this league than Isaiah Thomas. Thomas at least has experience coming off the bench. I'm not saying Rose should play starters minutes, but he should start for the sake of staggering the lineups so that Wade plays mostly with IT.

And I repeat, IT should play MORE minutes than Rose, but Rose should start.
