I always was :leostare: at that.


Derrick faced off against Bron in 2010 (vs. Cleveland) and in 2011 (vs. Miami). In the Cleveland series, Bron couldn't stay in front of Rose. Chicago still got they ass whooped but, Rose still put up a fight. In the Miami series, Rose got fukking bullied :russ: Even if he managed to get behind Bron, the entire Miami D collapsed on him every time. The nikka played abysmal.



.456 .333 .818 3.4 7.2 0.8 0.0 26.8 (Rose vs. Cleveland 2010 Playoffs)
.350 .233 .813 4.0 6.6 1.0 0.2 23.4 (Rose vs. Miami 2011 Playoffs)




Looking at these numbers makes you wonder :ld: Did Rose play like a bum because of Bron or because Miami was so :wow: Before nikkas act like Bron wasn't guarding Rose :skip: I remember Bron d'ing up Rose plenty of times in that CLE-CHI series. He couldn't stop him.

From what i remember Rose got a little tired towards the middle and end of the series between the Bulls and Heat. He had been carrying the Bulls for a while at that point, they were defending him really physically and he just seemed to get worn out. I do also remember Rose taking both Wade and Bron to school earlier in that series and during the regular season
