No.... Thibs is more likely to think “My God, we are so close, we have to hold onto Jimmy. We can do this. I can convince him to stay.”...... while Derrick Rose is in the locker room naming the turds he pulled out of his ass.
One of the greatest performance ever. MVP fallen from grace to league minimum where no one but Thib wanted him to score 50 points against Jazz on a team with KAT and WIGGINS, 2 max contracts players and ROSE on minimum contract outperform them out. ALL this because JIMMY sits out because he got sit of those 2 MAX contract players playing crap Defense. WHAT A STORY. I watched the entire interview after the game too. They will make this into a movie like Linsanity
Love to see D-Rose bring his career all the back like this, but man, he's only a tweaked knee away from going right back where he was 2 years ago.
This effort by Rose scoring 50 in MIN will cement him as a T-Wolve for life up there. He has now been pretty consistent since last year. I wonder if with this version of Rose emerging Thibs will finally let Jimmy exit the building (literally and figuratively).
Great story of a possible resurgent career, but DRose is always in tears. I have never seen this dude smile. At the height of his bball career he was sad. He cries at Adidas shoe launch events, he cries at all star games.. he's always crying.
Although, the season just started, Jokic is on pace to average the 3rd highest assists per game in history, once again. Trailing Wilt's 1966-1967 and 1967-68, which were 7.8 apg and 8.6 apg. Nikola sits at 6.8, easily passing, last year's mark of 6.1. Another player, tonight might be returning to form, if he can avoid the injury bug. Won't mention his name to jinx him.
Rockets fans should not be talking about any team being ashamed other than our own. Rockets are the most shameful team by far this season to date. Anyways, Rose looked great out there. Looked like vintage Rose. He’s finally healthy and looks good.
The pels can't beat the warriors. They are scared of the warriors. The pels don't have the swagger of a champion yet, like the rockets did last year, like the grizzlies do, the spurs when they had kwahi and LeBron teams, OKC when they had kd. Most teams are just scared of the warriors. The grizzlies know they can beat the warriors and the warriors know this too. That gives the grizzlies an edge that the pels don't have.
