Rose's shooting form changed

[Unbiased_one]

how is 15 preseason shots any kind of argument? Like I have always said, the preseason is not a good way of analyzing players at all.

Preseason stats don't matter, but percentages should. Hoop is still 10 feet off the ground, eighteen inches in diameter, and it's still a game situation. None of that changes.

That said, 15 shots is not a statistically significant number.

There is a lot less defensive pressure during the preseason.

Based on what? Everyone out there still plays hard. If anyone has ever played pickup basketball and organized basketball.. you can't just turn off that "competitive" switch in your brain unless EVERYONE does (see: ASG).

Of course he is, always has been, just won't get any playing time on a stacked Heat team.

he actually might get playin time this year
especially with Spo trying to keep the big 3 healthy and rested and the older veteran role players more rest

It was said that theyre going to try to utilize him more
He can still shoot,and his size length can only help out
if anything another great shooter to space the floor and lessen the load

I kind of want to see him break Chalmers record of 10 3s in a game
James Jones with 30+ points,and player of the game Thatd be interseting to see

His jumper looks much more fluid than his pre injury jumper, I like it.

Barely anybody plays hard in preseason barring people trying to make a team or trying to prove something

Look at for ex the way Bulls,Pacers,Grizz play rs game to teams like
SA,MIA,LAL
nowhere near the same

Teams can and do play harder certain games and situations(playoffs)
No team is going hard all day every day except the Bulls which is stupid

Look at the Heat during their 27 game win streak
they were constantly down at the start of 3rd,4th quarter
taking plays off,playing lax,not going hard all game
Cavs-Heat,Heat were down 27 and then still won
They would play lose,easy and then turn on the pressure
just look at the way they play rs games compared to playoffs,totally different

Wll someone at least post a f*cking link to some preseason highlights? 2 pages deep and not a single person has posted a link to demonstrate this 'changed' form.

Clearly 15 shots isn't a scientifically significant number, but it is encouraging, and with his changed form, that leads me to believe his shooting has improved. Whether that is true or not, time will tell. You guys are so eager to prove someone wrong or school someone.

His mid-range was automatic in his second or third year but then it got worse when he tried to incorporate 3-point shooting into his game. Then that kinda went down hill when he started focusing on his FT's.

Hopefully he will be able to put it all together this year and reclaim the MVP title while being the best player in the league.

Thats quite a task, man.. Better start with being the best PG in eastern conference.

Don't mean to rain on your circle jerks, but he hasn't played a single real game yet
