Who cares? The FIBA ball is slippery. USA players have never consistently hit threes in the FIBA tournament since they joined it. Rose was never known for his three point shooting but he's got two FIBA championships. And penetrates better than anybody.

And since when has shooting threes been a criteria for anything in the tournament?

[hawksdogsbraves]

You see it all comes down to muscle memory and... oh wait, that one doesn't work....

Well it's because he had a hurt knee and didn't practice shooting for 2 straight years so.... oh wait that's not right either...

Oh well it's just that the FIBA ball is extra slippery so it's hard to shoot 3's. That's right. The perfect excuse for Rose's latest failure.

He did nothing to help the USA win. In fact, you could probably make the argument that he hurt our chances, considering he played horribly and took up the spot of someone who could have contributed more.

The very fact that he was on the team was an act of cronyism from Coach K and Thibs, who used the tournament as one big rehab session for a player who wasn't good enough to be on the team by his own merit.

It didn't end up mattering because the rest of the world is downright awful at basketball, but the point still remains.

[SamuraiSWISH]

a) He's rusty, 2x years away from elite basketball
b) It's not his job on this team
c) He's proven he can shoot 3's, from a further line in the league
d) Relying on 3 pointers exclusively is fool's gold
3) He's their best attacker off the dribble. No one can stay in front

So why would Derrick be critiqued from a logical person for not hitting 3 point shots? He's still a better all around player than both of the sharp shooting PGs who had the better percentages from distance. Who cares? We dominated the competition, and Derrick while rusty was clearly coasting the vast majority of the tournament.

Did no one see him breaking ankles in the gold medal game, then proceeding to split a double team like he was Neo in the Matrix? More impressive to me than wide open 3 pointers.

Kyrie, Harden, Manimal, Unibrow were the key offensive players and most were from the start and they basically aren't shooters. Klay Thompson was a surprise and he was the biggest in the whole USA team but we should be talking about Rose.

And since when has the USA team ever gone out there to outshoot teams with a different ball that always disoriented our shooters some?

We need to investigate these "slippery" balls further, interviews must be conducted to ask players what they felt when touching those balls, how the sweat and hours of handling such balls affected their hands and stamina. These unique balls may be hazardous to their health, you never know. If Rose couldn't handle the roughness of their balls, maybe he shouldn't participate in international parties.

It's true: how long are we Americans going to put up with evil European balls that 'disorientate' our players, even blinding one of them so badly he only managed to make 1 of the 19 3 point shots he took?

Are you skilled in anything in life, at all. Have you become proficient at anything at all? If you tell me that they can change size and surface of anything your worked with most of your life and you don't have an adaption time, I know you are lying or you just are really bad at everything. Its not even a question. Everyday shooters can tell you if the distance between the grooves is off never mind the weight and texture.

Dresta, I think you favor the guy in your avatar. So asking if you ever touched a basketball in this century is not a question I'm going entertain. Ask anybody here if they touched the international ball and the official NBA ball if they are the same. Graviton is a little younger than you but he's never played ball either - or at least realize he was in a game - might have been in one tho.

http://www.slamonline.com/nba/deron-williams-claims-the-olympic-basketball-is-slippery/

http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98514&page=2 Some guys on this board, guys that actually go outside, were discussing this topic before.

Oscar Schmidt was the greatest shooter ever with an international ball. He was a level higher than any American ever was with that ball. Why do you think this was so? I'm sure Chris Mullin could handle him with an NBA ball and I'm sure you two geniuses will think its the court. Or maybe the ball has international evil in it like Graviton is hinting at.

Look the ball affects all NBA players some. Rose wasn't brought there to shoot. and he is trying to catch up with timing, legs, and other things that will take away from focusing on changing his shot calibration and hand positioning on the ball. If you watched he missed a lot of layups, but this requires you guys actually watching the game and possessing analytical skills. Would you put up that he's going to keep missing layups.

In the end, yeah, its not a big deal he missed a lot of layups, much less jump shots in the tournament. He was among the tops in the league in points in the paint at one time. When somebody pulls your coat and tells you there are better things to harp on - like the guys who were brought there to shoot and their bright futures, I'm helping you guys out.

He wasn't comfortable in the role they had for him. It happens. It's not like there aren't chemistry issues when you just throw a bunch of players out there together that don't have much court time together.

I am a very good shooter (they call me reggie at my park, how insulting) and I had a Jason Kidd type last month in a league I joined, where I couldn't buy a 3. Think Kidd at the end of his Knicks career, he literally couldn't hit a shot for a month. I was not comfortable with the role they had me in. Rose was not suited for that, especially since he is coming back to shake off rust.

I am not about to make up many more excuses for him though, if he sucks this season I ain't holding back :pimp:

Logic, does that work for you?

Why not look at Plumlee's assist numbers? You want something so bad you have abandoned common sense in favor of being a troll. What do you want me to say? That you wear it well?

As for being a Knicks fan and a Rose fan... I don't get it and never will. If Westbrook was on the Bulls or Pacers or Heat, you best believe I'd hate the shit outa him. But he is not. He is on a non-rival team, therefore Westbrook is my guy :pimp:

If they win in the Garden they are rivals. If the Knicks are contenders everybody is a rival. When that isn't the situation its not a big deal at all. If Rose stayed healthy he's likely better than Westbrook. But I give Westbrook credit, I doubt he will ever be MVP but I won't rule it out. Of the healthy players now, I would root for Westbrook. He's the heart and soul (blood,sweat and tears) of the league now.

Fam and friends in Chicago have been beneficiaries of Rose goodwill projects as well. You can like who you like, that's all good. I was getting at you because you where acting like you were once some protector of Rose at one point - I just didn't recall that. You already turned on him. Which is your choice.

Why not look at Plumlee's assist numbers?

I listed the other image for the splits and volume, not for the other stats. And why would I (just saying) compare a center's (one who played one of the fewest minutes in the tournament) assist numbers to a guard ? Compare them the other guards (Harden, Thompson, and DeRozan are guards who alternate playing SF for the tournament) or just strictly the PG's (Irving and Curry, even though Curry was a SG this tournament).

Well you shouldn't have. You didn't come close to answering anything. At any rate, every player on that list is going to have a bad series. When Rose was himself he didn't have a bad series. He had trouble adjusting but it was of zero consequence. You guys don't even have the decency to big up the guys who performed better than they should. They won you know.

Why are there six threads about Rose when several players showed different dimensions to their games (Klay, Kyrie, Faried, Cousins etc.) and have far less threads. Why are you, I would guess a grown man, following around Jameer from thread to thread bumping him as a troll/hater? Its your right but I thought you had more going on. My bad.

You were way more active in the nay sayer threads and on the nay sayer side than pumping up the win and the progress of Klay, Kyrie, Faried, Cousins etc.

Shooting 5% from behind the arc and 25% total is not "rusty". It's ****ing terrible.

And your silly ass excuse about the ball being slippery is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard on this forum.

That also might give you an idea about my age, which you seem to be overestimating. And in cricket the ball is actually in a constant process of change, and as a bowler you need to be aware of how the ball has changed and how to best use it to your advantage (yet somehow Rose can't adjust to a slightly different ball despite having weeks to practice with the damn thing). Or were you not talking strictly about sporting skills because i could give you a list of those too? I'm not usually one for self-promotion you see; i'm only bothering with this for your benefit.
Simple question. Was Oscar Schmidt that much better than any American with the rock in international play? Oscar was rocking 40, 42, 46 points and averaging over 36 ppg. He was on a different planet than Reggie Miller. It was not a contest. Since you believe everybody gets instantmatic acclimation why is it that Reggie Miller would return the favor with a NBA ball.

You could lose a competitive advantage due to grip, grasp, texture, release, non standardized size/weight in anything and everything you do. Are you really just learning this. If a player has to re-calibrate distance, release, grasp in a game of inches after he learned to flow on automatic pilot when shooting, he can easily over-think the shot if he has to re-calibrate. ESPECIALLY if he is just learning to get his legs underneath him. This isn't rocket science. Rose had some problems with the release of the ball. Its a giant deal to haters because they can get off. But most players go thru a spell when this happens.

You never seen players hollar at other players to just shoot the ball. I know for a fact that I cook faster, play wind instruments, string instruments, percussion instruments, play basketball/pool/bowling/ping pong better, DJ, work tools all more proficiently when the tools are uniform. I rarely have to think of my actions when utilize these things when at/near home.


FYI i don't favour the guy in my avatar, and nothing i've posted on this site would lead someone who knew what they're talking about to think that i did, so again, you're wrong. Also, i grew up in the UK, so have handled those balls plenty, used them throughout my youth, and never have i once heard a complaint of their being 'slippery' (unless an old, worn ball). They were generally the best balls around. Shooting with them is no different than shooting with an NBA ball. Funny that all these European guys can come into the NBA and be great shooters with the NBA ball straight off the bat despite.
Who? Dirk the best of the best was shooting 40% from two and 20% from three with a much longer acclimation period.


Rose wasn't brought there to shoot? As far as i'm aware he was only there to make the team worse for his own personal benefit. There are also others clearly more deserving than he is, and who would've helped the team more. I have a problem with unmerited preferential treatment, and so would you if you weren't a Bulls fan.
In hindsight, you can say anything, change the whole history of the world - that's fools gold - fairy tale nonsense. Rose was on the team because of continuity (he played well in the last games), and he did better in the tryouts and primarily because coach K is smarter than most. Things don't always pan out perfect - they almost never, ever do. The way you guys are carrying on about this nonsense shows and incredibly unbalanced negative view of things. One would think that the team struggled, lost and should be despondent. Its really hilarious. You guys rarely mention a positive when nine guys were impressive and one struggled. The one who struggled had great reasons to have struggled.

I know, that was early on last season. This is his real TS% from last season, something Rose still will never touch while shooting 38% from 3 on 300+ threes:eek:
