It's infuriating to see the Bulls playing their hearts out while Rose sits at home

Very mentally weak for a "superstar". Kobe wouldn't ***** out.

Rose is bitchmade like Lebron and Wade and Bosh. True warriors like KG, Kobe, Noah, CP3, KD, Westbrook etc are dying breed.

Get off Rose's johnson![/QUOTE]
:applause:

[QUOTE=DuMa]Hes not sitting at home. He's sitting on the bench with a suit on.
Bulls players hasnt talked about him returning early. They have complete trust in him to return when he is ready.

This thread is done[/QUOTE]
:applause:

[QUOTE=bagelred]Has anyone posting on this board ever tore their ACL? If you did, you'll know its a slow return to full strength. It simply doesn't feel right and it's hard to trust your knee. It's a slow process. It's not like a broken bone that just heals and you're good to go........[/QUOTE]
:applause:

[QUOTE=maybeshewill13]Players who did their ACL around the same time were back months ago.. And he's been cleared to play by doctors months ago. Expensive, team doctors who have only the team's best interest at heart. Dude's a straight bitch.[/QUOTE]
pretty sure iman shumpert tore his acl on the exact same day

[QUOTE=KingTut]His teammates got his back.[/QUOTE]
:applause:

[QUOTE=Ikill]Rose was playing through multiple injuries last year and he was playing through injuries in the 2011 playoffs. Its exactly why he tore his acl last year cause he was playing with injuries that didn't allow him to play freely. If he isn't fully comfortable with his body than he is increasing the risk of getting injured again. He probably should be playing now but i understand why he's not considering what happened last year playing games when he wasn't ready to.[/QUOTE]
:applause:

[QUOTE=(e)]8-12 month injury. It's been 11 months since surgery.

Fckin haters man. Sure, Rose has been cleared, but if he doesn't feel right then don't rush back.

I'd rather have Derrick Rose for another 10+ years, rather than him rush back to become Brandon Roy 2.0[/QUOTE]
:applause:

It's funny to see non-sense spewed about Shumpert's return and comparing it to Rose like they are the same situation.


Just stop. Rose would have to play twice the minutes and have 1000x more workload and pressure.

branden roy #2??????????? is this real life??????

Also funny seeing Kobe fans talk about Rose when Rose is clearly one of Kobe's favorite ballers of the next generation and they both play like alpha dogs on the court.

[QUOTE=monkeypox]This doesn't even makes sense. Brandon Roy had a degenerative issue that was known about before he was even drafted. Goldbricking for an extra 5 months wouldn't have saved him. Derrick Rose had an ACL tear and says he's physically fine, just dealing with mentally being ready. The only reason why he's not playing is because he doesn't feel like it. Brandon Roy would eat Derrick Roses shoe to play one more game in the playoffs. The guy wanted to play so much he came back on busted knees. Derrick Rose cares so little that even when physically healthy he doesn't want to play in the playoffs. There's no comparison.[/QUOTE]

How do knee issues start? Maybe returning too early from a previous injury?

Do you personally know Derrick Rose? You know he doesn't care and he just doesn't feel like playing? GTFO.

There is absolutely nothing wrong by being completely cautious with something like this. If he doesn't feel right, he doesn't feel right. I wouldn't want him on the floor thinking about his knee.

Now, if he rolls through training camp and isn't ready to return...then there is an issue. But people acting like he has given up on his team or don't care are retarded. Many players would of benefited from taking their time coming back from a major injury.

any workload is better than none. Face it, dude is a softy. He has been cleared for 2 months and has been going full bore in practice for nearly a month. Dude is mentally weak and its a shame. This bulls team could challenge the heat IMO

So Rose was ahead of Rubio in October (Was shooting jumpers while Rubio was shooting set shots), and yet Rubio returned in December while Rose is still MIA? Lol.
