Derrick Rose's last 8 games he's putting up 20/5/3 on 47% in 29mpg.
On the season he's at 18/5/3 on 45% in 28mpg.
in comparison, his mvp season he was 25/8/4 on 44.5% in
37.4 mpg
he's pretty much what he was, just with a minutes cap and more offensive options that doesn't require him to facilitate/pick and roll everything anymore.
There's 1 good game on Christmas day if KD doesn't play
And that 1 good game requires the Clippers to show up for the game against a good team so who knows if that happens.
It is pretty disappointing. If they just
had to cater to the knicks and lakers so bad (despite knowing how bad they both were projected), then they should've just had those two teams play each other.. and then pair up the actual teams that you knew were actually going to be good to face each other in the other time slots. Last night's wizards/bulls game would've been a great xmas game treat.
clips/warriors i can understand. spurs/okc i understand. cleveland miami... ehh but i can understand it too. and if not wizards/bulls, you could've taken either or both and made whatever pairings with the mavs blazers or rockets.
