After a horrendous 1-9 shooting night from three point range for Derrick Rose in Game 4 of the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, many fans are looking at Rose to be more aggressive and drive to the hole more. While it would be nice to see Rose attack the basket more in transition, in the half court it has been difficult as the Miami defense collapses on the paint any time Rose tries to drive to the basket.
What Miami has been giving Rose is some good looks from three point land. Rose has struggled so far in this series at making the three point shot, going just 5-22 in the series, but it’s a shot that he has to continue to take. None of the shots he took from three point range were bad looks in Game 4, he just wasn’t hitting them. In offensive basketball theory, taking the open three point shot for a 33.3 percent shooter as Rose is, is a good shot, especially when you consider his shooting percentage is hampered a little from all of those full court heaves.
