Cavs Struggles with D Rose

[Donovan Caronna]

So recently I have noticed that the Cleveland Cavaliers back up point guard Derrick Rose has not seen much playing time, even though he just had a great game just three nights ago with 14 points. But over the past few games he has only but played a total of 8 minutes. I sure don't understand this and even Coach Lue said he would be taking Jae Crowders minutes off the bench. Isaiah Thomas went like 2-17 tonight and I feel like they could use D Rose more.

Thanks for your call, we’ll be talking about this in the 5th hour of the show

Donovan, it's a worthy topic, but probably best-suited for the running NBA thread we have somewhere around here. That's where you are most likely to get some response on it.

great game

14 points

Hmm ...

 

[Buck]

14 pts for a backup is pretty good

Pretty good is the Hornets scoring 49 in the first quarter against the Pacers.
