So you're just gonna ignore the entire Heat defense focused on stopping the only player on the Bulls who could do anything? Props to Russ though.

I think russ would have taken shots over lebron with or without durant they would have still lost though, and shyt russ aint letting wade go off either.

playing both sides of the ball matter fact the only player that is.

fukk outta here. Rose was the MVP & shot 35%.

Numbers kobe would die for in his last few finals.

Rose is better than Westbrook. Or was, considering his injury. Not a knock on westbrook, but Rose is a far better ball handler, shooter, and defender. He also plays much better under control.

He does choke on freethrows though.

Im objective enough to be real about OKC having better pieces than CHI.

If you can't be objective enough to see Russ put his team on his back against Miami tonight in a way Rose couldn't do last year.......then

:whoo:

you are entitled to your opinion but in no shape of form is rose a better defender or shooter than westbrook stop it. until rose guards the top 2 sg in the league and put the team on his back i think its extremely close

he's not better than rose but he's been playing his ass off in the playoffs. i used to hate his game but now i see why he play the way he does. he's definitely one of the best play makers in the league.

Here's why I'm calling Rose a better defender. He plays on a defensive minded team where he is an effective part of a full defensive unit. That's not easy considering how much mileage he gets on the offensive end as well. They're both prone to gambling, but except for L.bron these days, all star players gamble on defense. Westbrook has a bit of size on Rose, allowing him to guard more players, but Rose is there with necessary rotations. Rotations are far more important to overall defense.

As for shooting, I'm going with Rose. His form is better and his ability to get a shot off under any circumstances is scary.

Westbrook is a beast, but Rose was killing shyt before :deadrose:

I don't know about the shooting thing. That's REAL CLOSE!!!

Russy is probably a better 3 point shooter, but other than that it's extra close.

Eh, Russ' midrange is like where Rose's was his second year.

Rose's midrange regressed last year as he focused more on 3s.

I'd take an UNDER CONTROL Westbrook over Rose...but you never know what you gonna get when he steps on the court, nikka looks like a caveman and seems like he has brain issues when dealing with stress/energy/anxiety... sooooo in reality i'mma take Rose, assuming Rose will come back from his injuries.
