Ric Bucher: "Derrick Rose is my MVP candidate"

Ric Bucher: "Derrick Rose is my MVP candidate"
​

• He was on ESPN Radio and he mentioned Rose is his candidate for MVP.
• He thinks Hollinger is delusional because Hollinger says Rose isn't elite because Rose doesn't quite to the line, but it is due to the lack of respect from the refs.

Lack of respect from officials? Blake Griffin is a rookie and hes go to the FT line 8 times a game. Rose is officiated fine..

lol.. Everyone gets bad calls against them, doesn't mean refs are out to get him or dont respect him. I could pull up videos of no calls when LeBron gets hit or even Kobe.

But this has been happening since his rookie year. We thought this was just the rookie rule in the NBA when it was his rookie year, but it continued sophomore year and it is continuing this year. The officials are turning a blind eye away even though the foul is right there and it is inexcusable.

It's not the refs fault that Rose isn't getting calls, it's Rose's. Every time the guy is going up for a layup, he tries to avoid the contact.

Unless you watch every Bulls game, you really have no room to talk. Derrick gets hit all the time in the lane and there is rarely a call made. I agree with 23Bullsaj on this one.

I cannot stress this enough this not last year, look to the present, this is a improper misconception of Derrick Rose.

 

[elcheato]

Of course you both believe their is a conspiracy theory, you're Bulls fans.. Every fan thinks their star player doesn't get enough calls.

When the majority of your game involves driving to the hoop and you're only averaging 5.3 free throws per game, it's not really a "conspiracy theory."

Durant - 9.5 FTA
Wade - 8.8 FTA
James - 8.8 FTA
Kevin Martin - 8.5
Anthony - 8.3
Westbrook - 7.9
Bryant - 7.8
Eric Gordon - 7.8
Deron Williams - 7.1
Billups - 6.8
Ellis - 6.5
Devin Harris - 6.4
Stuckey - 5.9
Ginobili - 5.7
Wall - 5.3
Rose - 5.3

What would you say the majority of John Wall's game is, shooting 3s? Tyreke Evans is below both of them... And uwp is right.. he does his best to try and avoid contact.

John Wall is a rookie getting as many call as Derrick Rose...

I watched the first six calls/no calls in that first video and they were all called correctly. Thus, I just lost all respect for this argument.

Oh don't even start with that BS, the first play in the first link you provided earlier proved that Rose avoids contact.

 

[uwp]

John Wall is a rookie getting as many call as Derrick Rose...

And? It just proves that Wall is willing to attack the basket and take a foul unlike Rose.

+1

Exactly. I've done this plenty of times.

No, it proves that Rose is disrespected and doesn't get as many calls as a rookie...

It actually doesn't prove shit, because you could look at it either way, the way you posted, or the way I posted.

Lol, I'd love an explanation as to how Rose is disrespected.

 

[dcpwner]

first, you guys are arguing with bks? Smart. He's right on this, unless u watch every game like we do u can't say shit. He doesn't get calls that exist let alone the superstar calls that refs give so many times.
