Come on. You already know you need a player who can break down players in the playoffs without rose who can do that. Gosal isn't young anymore to carry a team and Butler isn't a 1st option. Playoffs are different.
But on Rose I think he will come back better. Apparently that knee has been a problem most of the year. You could tell which games he looked bad in to. He would usually take 7-9 3s that's not his game he probably wasn't felling right. But in games where he went to the basket he showed he still had that speed. The repair can have him fresh for the playoffs which will result in him attacking again.
You're talking as if Rose is a legit go-to player like he was years ago. He's not.
And did the Spurs not just win a championship recently, without a legit go-to player that can break down the defense? I don't really count Parker as that anymore, he's capable of doing it, but that's not why they won a title.
Oh please, Rose coming back better than ever is a myth.
Gasol is better than Rose. I don't know how anyone can seriously argue that.
