“Still the same,” Rose said. “Just happy we are winning games; putting every game behind me and keep working out and it will catch up one day.”
But Rose was effective drawing the defense and passing, Gasol getting most of his open looks on Rose passes and Butler and Rose a virtual mutual admiration society. In fact, Butler credited Rose for being able to break out with a six for 10 shooting second half.
“That’s all to my point guard,” said Butler. “Derrick telling me to stay aggressive, keep shooting. I know how hard I work at this game; he knows how hard I work at this game. That’s huge, him being a brother to me, a leader of this team, telling me to stay aggressive, keep going, don’t stop shooting open shots and it will turn around.”
“I wanted him to shoot more,” acknowledged Rose. “He still didn’t shoot enough for me tonight. But it’s what, the eighth, (ninth) game, still working on it; he’ll get there.”
Clear as day that Rose and Jimmy, as the de-facto leaders of this team, have a mutual understanding that Jimmy is going to try to hold the fort down as Rose continues to try to be patient & wait for his vision to clear up.... Rose obviously still isn't right. His eyes are still uneven and he's still wearing that fukked up ugly ass mask. Some days his vision is better than other days, which explains the inconsistency.... He's been consistently however playing the point guard role each game (even when he dropped 29 on OKC) largely using himself as a decoy to get others involved when he just don't got it going.
Obviously, we all want him to be a 100% as soon as possible, but like Fred said when asked why he's playing if he isn't a 100%? "This team is simply better with him on the court".
I pray to God that Mask is gone by the Warriors game tho. Them dudes are on some other shyt :mjkuficry:.

I didn't know he was that much of a liability. I mean he certainly looks the part, but damn.....
