D Rose is averaging 38.2mins a game... Good or bad?!

[imnew09]

Cmon Thibs... Rose just got back for the playoff and you're giving him 38mins a game.... He gotta save those energy for Cavs man!

A bit misleading as one game went to double OT.

Without that one game he's averaging a little under 35 a game, still high for a guy coming off serious injuries but not intolerable.

Butler averaging 44.7...

Not misleading at all... He played 39 minutes tonight and went OT last game....

You post makes it seem like he averages 38 mpg in only 48 minute games, which isn't the case.

Semantics I guess.

[gyu]

anyone notice players' minutes in the league is going down in general? players used to do 38+ minutes averages for the whole season

[Collie]

They can't afford not to play him.

[bobopenguin]

so if he goes down next game, who's fault to blame?
(i hope he doesnt, i like him)

bad. I didn't notice Rose drive once today. he just dribbled around the perimeter.

then instead of giving the ball to the red hot Jimmy Butler to win the game, Rose dribbled around the perimeter again and turned the ball over with 1 second left, then to make things worse he gave up a layup.

I hope the Bucks can force game 6. Less rest for Rose, the better.

[bdreason]

People always talk about the Bulls depth...




then Jimmy Butler plays 48 minutes.

[Eric Cartman]

Bad for the Bucks, and the Cavs.

Great for the Bulls, he has learned from his tentative ways of the past.

Now it's pedal to the metal, free with no regard.

I don't wanna jinx him but he's def still not out of the woods. I dunno how any bulls fan can't just think he's gonna crumble at any moment.

The Bulls def got more talent than they ever had, though. Everyone was saying Gasol was done.

Considering people were criticising Rose for not playing at all over the last few years, I consider this good.

[SpanishACB]

Rose strikes to be as someone extremely limited intellectually

but since he's shy and antisocial he doesn't appear to be the borderline he is as often as he should

agree?
