    Serious injuries will do that to a world class athlete. I believe it is a valid question to ask if Rose will ever again attain the foothills of his peak performance several years ago.

    Maybe he did the Cassell dance and injured himself.

    Other than Dwight, Morey can not land a superstar free agent!
    Failed twice with Bosh alone!

    it's because Morey got rid of Patterson, CH was never the same after that and became a cynic troll ever since

    For all of Morey's critics, I've yet to hear one suggestion on who they'd replace him with.

    I think they'll be a better team without him. He takes shots from Evans and Holiday on terrible ISO jumpers, and, in turn, Evans and Holiday do the same, which is why the perimeter for NOP is so bad.

    Yeah, given the way he's been playing, this may be an addition by subtraction thing. He's had an 8.6 PER the first 12 games. That's horrible. And it's nto like he's a great defender. And he's been playing 31 mpg.

    Of course, they won't be able to trade him anytime soon (not that they could have otherwise).. AND they really don't have a bench. I guess Austin Rivers plays more.. but he also sucks (though hes been better this year, but that's relative).

    Holiday and Evans already play 34 minutes a night.

    despite his struggles, he helps keep opposing defenses honest. now they have a huge hole to fill at the sg spot.
