OT: Rose

[BlazerCaravan]

Bring him in as the sixth man like we did with Kaman, less minutes would hopefully make him last longer.

8 games instead of 4 isn't "longer" enough.

He played 9 last night... He'd be a decent end of the rotation player

Trepidation is part of his issues.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Both Rose and Westbrook won't have long careers. They go way too hard all the time. Guys like Lillard and Curry are going to be playing ball for years because they play the game in cruise control. Only accelerating when the opportunity is there.

That's what I said about Brandon.

Sigh...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That's what I said about Brandon.

Sigh...

Yeah...

The difference here is Lillard plays like an old man... Roy actually was an old man.

 

[handiman]

That's what I said about Brandon.

Sigh...

Yeah, Brandon Roy and Tony Parker make it tough to predict much about career longevity merely based on style of play. And no, Parker plays nothing like Lillard and Curry. He's every bit as frenetic as Rose and Westrbook, just not physically overpowering like them.

That would be a disaster

Roy relied on his athleticism? Yah no...

He absolutely did. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but his entire game was predicated on his first step (athleticism). Once he lost that he didn't have anything going for him because he refused to learn how to play off the ball.

[Fez Hammersticks]

Huh?

 

[Denny Crane]

Fixed it.

He played and played just fine.
