You know, it was a bad post on my part. I started by responding to you, but I ended up writing a more general response to anyone who's said that Derrick shoots the ball too much - and there have been a good number of them(not here). I feel like there are a lot of people that give point guards less leeway than any other position before saying they are shooting too much - not you, just other people. There have been games this year where Derrick would score less than he did today - maybe 30 or so - and some people would say he shot too much when most people - I know you've always called LeBron and Wade out - would never say those guys shoot too much if they scored 30. I was mainly going off on what I feel is a double standard for point guards and how much they should shoot during a game. I saw a complaint that other people have made and I directed my response at you when I shouldn't have, and the result was not a great post, so I apologize for that.
The one thing I will say in response to you, though, is that I feel like Derrick dominated the ball today because the rest of the offense looked terrible, rather than the other way around. His team wasn't doing anything for most of the game, it was one of the worst games they've played in a while. They don't usually play that bad, I don't have to tell you that. And if they do continue playing like that, and Derrick has to shoot as much as he today every game, you're right, they won't get far. Luckily I don't think that will be the case. This last paragraph is what I should have said originally instead of the rest.
One last thing - I never said you didn't give the Bulls as a team credit, just Rose, and clearly I was wrong about that.
