Nah It's not.In the past it might have been hard for rose cuz the bulls had below average offensive players surrounding him this year with the depth and shooters there's no reason why rose can't at least get 9-10 apg.

This team looked nice against the Knicks. They got off to a slow start, but once they got rolling 
. I was curious how the team would react to gametime speed and they handled it nicely. Should be a fun season if they can stay healthy.

They talked about starting slowly offensively and not making open 3-pointers. The Bulls talked sober talk. Coach Tom Thibodeau, for crying out loud, picked up a technical foul with his team up 24 points. An official turned and asked him, "When will you relax?" and Thibs, true to every instinct in his being, shot back, "Never!"

Besides that dribble dribble dominate the ball and set everybody for fancy assist totals shyt don't work. It don't win. Especially now with teams that actually play defense.
2 players are only great when they play to the strengths of they talent. Why in the hell should players as athletically gifted fast and strong as rose and westbrook scale back just to appease some lazy journalist who rather talk football anyway? And if cp3 and rondo could score and dominate a game the way rose and westbrook could, no doubt in my mind they would do it. They pass first cause that's they strength. Rose needs to play his game to his strengths.

Chris Paul 21 ppg in the playoffs 15.5 fga's.Derrick Rose 25 ppg in the playoffs 22 fga's
Chris Paul 8 30+ scoring games in the playoffs.Derrick Rose 8 30+ scoring games in the playoffs.
Paul Can dominate a game scoring he doesn't do that cuz he rather get his teammates scoring opportunities like a pg is supposed to.I'm not sure what you're talking about with the bolded since rose has been out the 1st round once in a significantly weaker conference.You can keep repeating those coli narratives like someone who don't watch ball
Winning has everything to do with the Team not one player

So rose can take off for 2 years , 3 playoffs in a row, and still have the same amount of 30 pt games as Paul
that's good to knowIt's not the individual scoring tho, which is why it's weird you brought that up. It's the difference in how a team can defend your team. It's a reason since the 90s since teams really started playing defense the high assist guys don't win, stockton, nash, mark jackson, even rondo who only got his 1 ring when he only avg 6.6 apg. The ball sticks to damn much and more read and react kind of offenses like the triangle and what pop runs in San Antonio and what thibs trying to run here is what wins. Not 1 guy setting everybody up.
But rose for his career is avg 6 - 8 assist per game. That is fine considering who his wing help has been and the type of offense thibs run.

Thing about Rose and them 3's is sometime they bad shots cuz he haven't got in a rhythm yet. nikka jus be bombing from deep after the jumpball. Hit u a couple layups/midrange shots before u start gunning from deep.
Yeah, agreed. He takes some confusing 3's still

BTW @ god shamgod , doc rivers seems to agree with me
I think Chris realized last year in the playoffs, holding the ball, getting double-teamed, getting down to late shot clocks every time, you're not going to win that way," Rivers says. "Movement, quick decisions, pulling it and swinging it and trusting the pass -- that makes Chris impossible to guard. And I think he realizes it now."
At the start of the season, Paul pushed back. He was used to having the ball in his hands for the majority of every possession, controlling the rhythm of the offense with his dribble. Rivers was asking him to give up the ball early and only sometimes get it back later, requiring a new level of trust in his teammates.
And then Rivers asked for even more. When Paul was sidelined with a shoulder injury for 18 games in January and February, Rivers urged him to consider giving up the ball even earlier, while still in the backcourt. Paul smiles thinking about the term Rivers used: the hockey assist. "Sometimes it's about the pass that leads to the pass," says Paul, a seven-time All-Star who was averaging 18.8 points and 10.9 assists through March 25. "It's been fun, passing the ball ahead to Blake, letting him push it and make plays. It's not always about the assist."

"I'm always talking," Gibson said with a smile after the game. "Because I remember years when we could never beat the first unit and now we got that momentum and we're winning a lot of games in practice and [coach Tom Thibodeau] loves it. We talk trash. [The starters] talk trash. But we all make each other better and there's never [any] hard feelings. We push them hard and they push us hard and it's going to show on the court and like it did tonight it showed on the court."
"Taj, he's being patient with his offense," Derrick Rose said. "He's taking what they're giving them. They kept giving him the jump shot, he kept taking it and making it. But it just comes with work. That's something that he's been doing the entire time in practice so that's why he's been bragging a little bit, talking about beating the first team. But he's in a good rhythm and the second team is doing a good job making sure that they're finding him on the court."
"That's one thing about our second unit, we're really talented, man," Gibson said. "We've really been taking it to the first unit in practice. And we talk a lot of trash in that second unit. So when you come into the game in this league you really have to have that kind of swag. You really have to be motivated to help your team and that's what championship teams do.
"That year we went to the Eastern Conference finals (in 2010-11) we had a second unit that had swag, that understood when we come in the game we're going to go do work. It's early, we still got a long way to go, but that's a good way to start the season off."
