While the OP is clearly just trolling, using Alpha to describe Rose at this point is beyond even something Artie would say.

Cool and then he'll just need a couple months to get his rhythm back

All good... let him take the 'meaningless regular season' to get back to MVP form for the playoffs.

Sounds like a GREAT plan.

Does "mvp form" consist of losing to LeBron and shooting under 40% from the field and under 30% from the three?

In the last 4+ years Derrick Rose has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee requiring surgery, a torn meniscus in his right knee, then a RE-tear meniscus requiring surgery 10 games into his return (from the first meniscus tear), an orbital fracture requiring surgery, and a plethora of sprains and strains to his hamstring, toe, ankleS, knees, et al.

... and YET he's STILL able to play at a professional level when any mere mortal man would have been forced into retirement years ago.

THAT is the definition of an Alpha. An unlucky Alpha, but an Alpha withOut question.

Meh, this is more of a 2:30 pm thread to get the 3-5 pages of replies.

Yeah he very well could be just as good in the playoffs this year as he was in the playoffs his MVP year.

Hard to imagine him being any worse anyways.

Rose's 2011 playoff numbers were on par with Chucky Bryant... only difference is Rose had Carlos Boozer and Keith Bogans instead of an All-Star / HOF Front Count like Kobe played alongside his entire career (drawing the double teams and taking attention away from Chucky, while opponents routinely double-triple teamed Rose).

40% from the field and 25% from 3

Unstoppable

Kobe shot 40% in 4 Finals series', playing alongside Shaq (who was routinely drawing the double-triple team)... 2011 Rose had Boozer, Asik, and Noah to take the Defensive attention off him.

Rose has never been to the finals. But we do know that in the eastern conference finals he shot 35% from the field and 23% from 3.

Kobe has had great finals perfoemances and countless great series against elite teams such as the Spurs.

Rose has never had a good performance for a series against any elite team in the playoffs his entire career.

Bottom line: Kobe had THE most unstoppable Offensive Big Man in modern NBA history (taking the defensive attention off him), and later an All Star FC (in Gasol / Bynum / Odom)... and he STILL shot 40% in the Finals.

Rose has had allegedly legendary defender Noah, the superstars (according to you) taj Gibson, Jimmy butler, pau Gasol, and more.

Butler and Gasol weren't on the 2011 Bulls... and Noah / Gibson combined aren't (and certainly weren't in 2011) anywhere even remotely close to the Offensive powerhouse that was Shaq.

[dwcmwa]

Awesome news, he was playing great before this latest setback and with the rest of the team rolling, the team's ceiling just got a whole lot taller.

They were on the team last year. He's had plenty hope over the years (according to you) and even when healthy, plays like absolute shit every time.

YOU brought up his performance in the 2011 playoffs... stay on point, Kobe Kid.

...with Noah and Dunleavy still to return, to boot!

His 2011 performance was god awful and all his playoff performances have been god awful. He's a shit player. Always was. Certainly always will be.

His 2011 playoffs performance was Finals Kobe-esque... we already established that.

Are you saying Kobe is god awful?

[xer0]

The bulls will be one of the WORST teams in the postseason (if they make it) as per usual.

Nothing alpha about rose at all, unless he buys a gay little convertible alpha romeao

[Laughing Man]
