Rose was never on Penny or G Hill level. Arenas is a good example. Anyways Simmons is right, Rose is mentally not ready. He never had much heart. He's facing too much pressure thanks to Adidas and the media/social media.

didn't help having that huge "comeback" campaign with Adidas

Pretty much.

This, plus the Bulls just stating months ago that he'd be out for the entire season would've prevented 80% of this.

Also doesn't help that his teammates are all looking battered up, yet they're still playing. A perfect shytstorm.

I look at Iman Shumpert. He came back months ago and look how long it took him to get back to normal. Rose has an even bigger responsibility so if he doesn't feel like he come back and effectively contribute then so be it.

This. Shump came back in February and it took this long to resemble how he was last year. And he doesn't even get a lot of minutes at that. Plus he mostly plays off the ball. Shump does a fraction of what Rose does on the court and it still took shump a ton of time. nikkas don't get it but I respect rose sitting out.

Iman shumpert stats are just like last year, cept he's shooting the 3 better.

Rose will come back and struggle because he's not used to the game speed and rust. Rose is a chump, come back play 15-20 mpg and ease yourself back kn

If Rose was gonna come back it should've been at least 2 months ago. Shumpert wasn't the same defensively when he came back. Physically he wasn't the same. He's been a streaky shooter since he's been a Knick so I'm not refering to the stats. I'm refering to this physical skills. Some of the cuts, runs, etc. He plays like he's not favoring anything or he's trying to avoid certain moves. Rose is still at that phase where he's thinking about it.

I can tell most of y'all never even played sports or been hurt before. It usually takes around a year to just get back to NORMAL everyday things, not even thinking about ball. Rose should set his own timetable, why the fukk would he put his knees in the hands of someone else? :why:

But I do say that he should have had a different role this year. Like a face of the franchise or 'assistant coach' or something like that. I only saw dude on the bench at games like four times
