Want to know why Derrick Rose struggled in game 3? More attention on defense than any player in NBA?

DRose has had everything thrown at him in this series except the kitchen sink. The Pacers started with Collison and Price on him, but in the last two games put 6'8 SF Paul George on Rose, then they put 6'6 SG Dahntay Jones on him, and every time Rose drove to the basket he was fouled hard by any Pacers player standing in his way. That includes big men Josh McRoberts, Tyler Hansborough, Roy Hibbertt, and Jeff Foster.

Not only did the Pacers put much longer and bigger defenders on Rose, but they also picked Rose up full-court on the inbounds pass and sent many double teams to get the ball out of his hands. Rose couldn't even get across half-court without a double team. When the Bulls tried to run pick and rolls, the Pacers trapped Rose with his defender and the big man that hedged out on the screen.

Rose has done everything any point guard could do under the circumstances. Scored 98 points in 3 games, attacking the basket and getting to the free throw line and hitting his free throws (90% ft)playing defense and getting his hands on loose balls (2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game), and he is hitting the game-winning shots and getting the Bulls the W (3-0 series lead).
