2013 NBA Playoffs |OT| Lakers started from the bottom, and they still there

So David Lee is playing with a torn hip flexor tendon. Kurt Thomas beasted on the Utah frontline with a broken foot. Half the Bulls team is sick yet played. Harden had the flu and was bombing threes.

And Derrick Rose still is sitting on the sidelines.

Was this Lakers sweep the most entertaining sweep of all time?

Also why are loserbros contaminating this thread for teams not swept?
 
Even if Rose comes back in early April playing 10-15 minutes a night off the bench they'd have won this series already. It was obvious they were making the playoffs. They could have easily treated the last month of the season like the preseason getting him in some games to overcome whatever mental issues he's having. It's ridiculous the amount of fight in the rest of the team and then you have him just sitting idle on the bench.

I totally agree. The guy has no fight and is worried how is PR machine might be affected by him coming back and potentially failing.

LOL as if Thibodeau gonna do this.

Like I said, Luol Deng play 40mpg despite his wrist fucked for 2 year now.
 
Rose isn't worried about his PR machine. He's just genuinely scared. Basketball is easy to him, but he's never had to deal with something like this. This is the same guy who doesn't like to give blood, because he's afraid of needles. This is the same guy that once asked John Lucas III to sleep in his room because he was afraid that the hotel the team was staying at might be haunted.

The Mavs should get Calderon because he is a pass first point guard. The catch is that they'd have to find players in the SG, SF, and C positions that can play good to great defense to make up for Dirk and Calderon's lack of defense. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with Jack, Tyreke Evans, Iggy, Dirk, and Dalembert as their starting five knowing Cuban.
