I think Rose scoring 10 points in like 3 minutes by himself disproves that. They've been the worst free throwing shooting team in the country all year. Took until the last 5 minutes of the season to catch up to them.
Rose was the one who missed the open layup with :30 left in OT. Would have made it a 2 or 3 pt game, I can't remember.
There are some talented players in the world... but you know the type... the jordans, the kobes... those cold-hearted players who get off on delivering a dagger thru the heart of the enemy. They want it more than anything and they deliver. Rose botched a gimme in a game where they let him have the lane when he wanted.
