Why is Derrick Rose out tonight?

[anotheridiot]

its real simple people, consistency from jumpshots are all in the jump phase. he is tired, sore and his shooting slumps made it a perfect game to take a day off.

Butler took over the assists yesterday, almost passing too much, almost got himself a triple double though. I heard an interview with thibbs that pretty much said that derrick needs to find the way to help the team when his shots are not falling. Just run point, pass to Gasol and get back on defense. I am sure his Reggie and BJ are telling him not to stop shooting. we have a great set of guards that can handle him taking off games.

Because it's almost March?

not shocked called this from the start of the year. im a big rose fan but said we should of traded him once he started playing again. he wont be anything more then a back up who gets injuried. to be honest his career might be over. very sad. i wish him well

Hi my name is Derrick Rose, and I get paid $20 million a year playing NBA part-time.

My friends like Greg Oden and Brian Williams told me about it, but I didn't believe them until I tried it myself. Learn how you too can make money rehabbing from your home.

This thread is timeless. Continuously relevant.

A quick look back to Drose MVP season...an exhausted overworked Rose outplays the rest of the stars to become the youngest mvp in league history. Plays in the world championships, leads the Bulls to a 60 win season, never complains, goes all out. The next season more of the same. Thibs for some reason can't see or fathom that the kid needs some rest. Then crash, big time non-contact injuries that two plus years later he's still trying to recover from. Now haters and trolls from all over calling him soft and whatnot. Thibs needs to be run out of Chicago for this. Let's hope DRose still has a lot left and is finally healed.

I am so blah about his return right now. I really hope he can make it through the playoffs, but no way in hell i'm getting my hopes up for it.

He's played more games this season than the last two combined (which isn't really overly impressive).
I'm surprised the vBookie doesn't have an over under on games played this season for Rose.

Some Bulls fan is going to see this thread at the top of the page today and freak out.

I saw it and said "OMG!". Then I saw the date lol

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He'll need a year off cause he needs his eyes too see his future business meetings and kids events once he retires.

Broke nose lmao

Edit. I guess it was orbital bone worse I assume lol

Here we go again. Bulls fans are getting sick of this. i understand this is a freak accident but damn this guy always gets hurt. Good news he shouldn't miss any games. Time Table for this kind of injury after surgery is 1-4 weeks. He might start the season with a mask for the 1st month.

He should be able to practice after the 1st week.

[mr.hockey4242]

Remember 1-4 weeks is for the typical man.

For a bitch like rose who waits about 3 years after being medically cleared to actually play...expect him back for the 2017 playoff push!!

this thread remains relevant at least until 2017.

Wait, this is the 11th injury of Rose's career. I'm just here to see what outrage Bulls fans can bring to the thread this time defending their little glass guard.

No one is defending him, another freak injury. The good news its not a bad one. Should not miss any time.
