If I had known that Derrick Rose, he of the multiple knee surgeries, was going to average nearly twenty points per game at age thirty (remember, he’s had multiple knee surgeries, his knee tendons were actually replaced with extra-thick rubber bands), I would have had to think long and hard about his OFFICIAL DTB EXCLUSION…

Derrick Rose 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Let’s say Derrick Rose continues averaging 19 for the whole season. That could easily happen, for sure. How many seasons of that would he need in a row before he had a good chance of entering the Hall Of Fame upon retirement? Leave your answer in the comments. Your answer must be an integer that…

Everyone already knows it, but I’m going to repeat it so that everyone feels all warm and fuzzy inside: Derrick Rose is playing the best he has since his last All-Star season. Doesn’t that just make you feel happy? If you’re not feeling it, try to forget about the rape allegations. I’ve been doing a…

Derrick Rose is averaging 19 points per game this season. That seems really high, considering how done everyone (especially the Jazz) thought he was last year, but it’s only a little bit more than what he averaged in New York two years ago. I don’t know why I have the impression that he’s been totally…
Read MoreDerrick Rose 31 Points/5 Assists/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/7/2018)
Seven three-pointers marks a career-high for Derrick Rose in that category. It’s also, somewhat surprisingly to me, tied for fourth most three-point makes in a game this season. Klay had 14, Steph had 11, and Redick had 8; then, a bunch people made seven in a game, putting Derrick Rose among the elite company of…

After Derrick Rose’s 50-point explosion a couple days ago, everybody (including me) was wondering: does this momentous occurrence mark the official return of Derrick Rose? Has he permanently regained his mojo? Will Bulls-era D-Rose reappear in Minnesota? Given that Rose took 20 shots in this game, the most on the team, my early answer is…

Derrick Rose opened his eyes and was initially surprised at where he found himself. Then, as his eyes became adjusted to the scene in front of him, the feeling of surprise dwindled and was replaced by…what? Anticipation? Expectation? A lush garden path, overflowing with flowers of all varieties, stretched forward from the bench he was…

Derrick Rose wandered a garden which he had never seen before. Where was he? How did he get here? It looked nice enough, with well-trimmed hedges around its perimeter, paths paved by flagstones winding through its wide array of botany, and an ornate fountain at its center. But there appeared to be no entrance or…

I wonder which team is going to give Derrick Rose a contract based on this little run of good play here in the playoffs. There’s no question that someone will at this point, because he’s been legitimately legit three out of the four games so far, but who will pull the trigger? -Chicago Bulls. This…

Derrick Rose, playing well against a heavily-favored opponent in the playoffs, helping his team get the W with fancy layups and big-time jumpers. What year is it? I need someone to tell me what year it is, because somehow I have traveled back in time a couple years and I need to get back to…
