I'll tell ya what, the media is on Isiah and the Knicks like white on rice.
But why is Brown coddling him, saying "I called the wrong play" and saying nary a word as to Rose tucking ball between his legs and taking a 5 count? As to Isaiah signing Rose, Larry says "a no brainer, he has lots of game."
Most of us on the board are point guards, or at least internet point guards. Jomal was a Greg Kite or Kurt Rambo type power forward i cant remember, WOW is a poor mans Charles Barkely and i think you are a shooting guard. Perhaps Jomal you could insert a King whose style you represented and WOW certainly a purple n golden would fit you better. Altho you play hardnosed, so how could we find a Laker other then Kurt Rambo?
Back to the point guard point. Are not point guards to be the smart, enthusiastic, team first gung ho types? Not that perfection is required as that wont happen. Turnovers will, including bad passes occasionally. However you never, ever want your point guard to have a selfish and or blase spirit or roll over and die. Rose is not only the ball distribution guard, but he was brought over for his *veteran presense*, *ball handling*, *know how in game ending situations* At a frippin 16 million a year.
Back to the play, maybe...maybe...maybe the ref burned Rose on the count. If so, it's somewhat forgivable. If not, and to add injury to insult 10Xs, if blunt head Rose is lying thru his teeth about the ref buring him on the count, then remove him from the team for 20 games starting now. Why am i picturing him after the play with shoulders shrugged, no emotion or care whatsoever. Getting ready to launch into Excuseville in the post game interview.
Yes Skander as to the articles, it's no longer just a bad Isaiah move. As the writer said, this smells very fishy. Is Isaiah up to his neck in gambling debts?
With all the preseason camp cut guys, Euros, walk on wannabes, CBAs etc clammoring to get a spot on an NBA roster, that Rose is taking up a starting spot in NYC of all places at the highest pay available is...
Can i get some outrage?
