Is Derek Rose a choke artist?

I never really watched him until this playoffs series, but heard good things about the rookie tho... The games I watched I get the feeling he is choking??
Chicago Bulls #1 I think
 
Yeah taking a team that didnt even make the playoffs last year to (maybe) defeating the reigning champions ... not to mention having the best rookie playoff debut in history ...sounds like straight choke job
 
I did not mean to diminish him as player at all. Choking happens to the best still, I don't know what's up with guys calling me names. Man this is the first day I posted in about 4 months too...lol

How is he choking though? I mean, do you know nothing about basketball?
 
Rose has been known to defer in the clutch, and it's been said he needs to learn to be more assertive. That being said, he's killed lots of teams this year with his penetration late in a game (for layups or kickouts), destroyed my raps late in 2 games this year, and made a couple nice plays late in games today.

That said, he's only a rookie, and only has up to go. As long as he doesn't turn into Stevie Franchise / Starbury, this kid's for real!
 
I watched him play the Pistons, and I recall him being quite good for a rookie.
Seriously all I watch is like 3 OTs this series, he lost possession ... I don't know it seemed like every time he tried to drive to the basket... I started to think, maybe he is nervous, choking or whatever.

This is more like what I was expecting for a response. People get angry behind keyboards around here.

Well, you were expecting a detailed response, and we were expecting you to see the "NBA Playoffs" sticky.

Amazing block by Rose. Huge. Henrich or whatever choked instead.

HAHA I was logging on to say that, but he missed the freethrows before my laptop charged up!

Seriously though, in the 3 OT I think Rose played quite well.

He did kind of choke last year with Memphis in the National Championship by missing free throws at the end that allowed Chalmers to hit the game tying three.
 
yeah blocking the potential game wining shot while falling backwards flat-footed....what a fucking choke artist mannnnn
