Why can't Derrick Rose be back in time for the playoffs?

[STATUTORY]

the entire Derrick Rose persona and superstar status is a media creation

the media was desperate for this guy to be a success from the otherwise bleak and down right apocalyptic streets of chicago

[mehyaM24]

rose should leave chicago and join a serious contender. yeah sure, he may not be the brightest kid in the world(and is somewhat overrated), but he deserves better. A LOT better.

JR Smith was reported to tear his meniscus (AND had a torn patellar tendon) in game 4 vs. Boston, and he was back the 6th game of the regular season.

Not that JR isn't awful, but you get my idea.

[nathanjizzle]

actually, their are reports that the bulls are expecting rose to return in the playoffs.

[pegasus]

If we make it to the 2nd round, and if Rose is cleared to play, but he chooses not to, I will be very disappointed in him as a Bulls fan.

He can get healthy all he wants by the beginning of next season, but there's no guarantee he'll be healthy by the playoffs. Play when you can.

The guy has barely played in 3 years and his haters are still mad as fvck

Yes, Rose will come back when he is ready to comeback. Its amazing that the OP's team should be right there at the brink of having its breakthrough year for championship and he's talking about Rose who hasn't been healthy in years. Either his priorities are totally schrewed, or D Rose owns him. or he's deflecting because he's scared to death about Westbrook in the playoffs.

Derrick Rose is a choker, mental midget, and most importantly, a bad role model for all the young-aspiring basketball players. Dude is done.

This is that Buddadiii guy.

[SpecialQue]

He's done.

or people actually want to see d rose play

People do, OP wants to see him fail

[Jameerthefear]

Derrick Rose is a p*ssy.

[Fudge]

I'm more of a fan of Rose than a hater, but he is quite the bitch.

Dude's such a weak-minded fcuk.

[Basketbolero]

Derrick Rose is a p*ssy.

You haven't been close to a real pvssy ever since your mother made the huge mistake of bringing your sorry a$$ into this world so i think we will ignore your take on that.

Drawn up manga pvssies don't count, BTW

I have a vested interest because I'd prefer Miami have a tougher road to the Finals, thus I want him healthy. Thats not wanting to see him fail at all. It's wanting to see him quit being a beta bitch and man up and play in the playoffs when his team needs him.

Noah was hobbling around on one leg and playing for the Bulls in the playoffs last year. Yet Rose sits out because of "muscle memory"

[Rose'sACL]

unless rose can play 10 games on limited minutes before second round, i don't think he should return.
