Looks like Jo still has DR's back despite all the speculation to the contrary... http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=9249599

The pressure on DR to play this round is gonna go through the roof.

Noah is a boss. He is the leader of this team. Bar none.

Oh boy.

Win or lose, we all should be proud of how these Bulls battle...

If this keeps up, Rose will get run out of Chicago and then we'll all be happy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 3, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) Mex Sox Fan would be calling him a gigantic p****. Some people don't read. In the NFC Championship game thread I was ranting against Cutler and have admitted it. Part of it was that I was pretty drunk and pissed that even before Jay got hurt, he was putting up a garbage performance and looking shook. The other part was we were losing to our most hated rivals, at home no less. Jay puts up an average performance and the Bears win, Hanie had us in that game for f***s sake. I took back what I said later that night and especially the day after. Cutler was legitemately hurt. I've apologized for my meatheadedness and won't do that again. You guys come off as meatheads because Rose is either a coward or a lazy POS. I don't believe that to be the case. He's being overly cautious because it's his career we're talking about. And to say this could be his legacy is downright silly. People will forget this when he gets back to his old form (fingers crossed). Not to long ago LeBron was thought as being mentally weak and unclutch, lol.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 3, 2013 -> 11:54 AM) He says he's 100% healthy. Chance of reinjury goes away very shortly after surgery. His problems are "mental" lol, are you minimizing the mental aspect? If in his mind he has doubts, let him have a summer's worth of burn and preseason to get his confidence in his body. Why do people here think that NBA practices = NBA games?

Look, I don't want to get in a long debate about if he should play or not. Doctors have been known to be wrong. If he doesn't feel right, then I trust his judgement because in my opinion Rose isn't a slacker or a "p****". IMO, he is being smart in taking his time. We've seen how other players who suffered the same kind of injury and came back when they were cleared were never the same afterwards. Look, it's a distinct possibility that Rose may never be as explosive as he was. I'm all for sacrificing this season (who really thinks Miami won't waltz their way to their second title?) in hopes of doing something different than other superstars who played when they were cleared only to be shadows of their former self. Maybe taking more time off than what the doctors say could be the difference and we'll see again an MVP version Rose? If that's what Derrick thinks,l I'll take that gamble as well.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 3, 2013 -> 11:00 AM) Pretty much. Though you have to admit the guy isn't doing himself any favors. Certainly giving people ammunition: He shouldn't be on the bench, and shouldn't be warming up before games. The handling of the Rose injury has been a mega clusterf*** PR wise, and those "The Return" ads didn't help either. The Bulls should've anounced early on that Rose wouldn't come back this year like Wilbon said, anything else would be an awesome surprise. Do people really think that Rose, who hasn't played a minute of NBA basketball this year with this squad could come in and be effective? Really? Rose is a ball dominant player, you need time to mesh with your teammates. The playoffs aren't the time and place to find a chemistry. When Rose didn't come back in the regular season, it was 100% guaranteed he wouldn't be back in the playoffs. The Bulls are on the verge of losing this series because of the MASH unit the team has become. A healthy Bulls team without Rose handles the Nets or anybody else outside the Miami Heat in the EC.

I find the anti Rose sentiment here rather amusing considering that in less than a year you guys will be firmly and comfortably on the DR1 bandwagon. Chicago sports teams fans, gotta love 'em.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 10:36 AM) Or Wilbon dislikes Cutler, but has a soft spot for D-Rose. And good job comparing his injury with knee injuries 20 years ago. I'm sure nothing in the medical profession has changed or improved since then. Arenas happened 20 years ago

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 10:19 AM) I don't want to talk about Rose right now, none of what's happening right now has anything to do with him Would be great if all the meatheads trashing Rose right now would do the same and lay the f*** off him.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) remember when Mike Wilbon jumped all over Cutler after the NFC Championship game, like a day later, calling him weak and a coward? http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/colu...&id=6052280 Probably learned from that mistake, I sure did. I was calling Cutler weak but looking back, the meathead in me took over but now I realize I was being a dumbass and have since regretted calling into question Cutler's manhood. Hopefully you guys do the same...

Mike Wilbon

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 19, 2013 -> 08:23 PM) lol, with every post this guy is really out to convinve the world just what a POS he is.

With so many cameras during the Boston Marathon, you just knew the criminals weren't going to get away with it.

So whenever a bomb goes off, just grab the Arab looking guy. Pakistani, Indian and Iranian (though to the untrained eye, Iranians and hispanics "look alike") looking ones are also acceptable. Still iffy on Indonesian looking dudes because you just might grab a Filipino and they don't have it in for us or am I wrong?

That really sucks for Kobe. I used to dislike him but I've grown to really respect him. He's the last of a dying breed. I hope he comes back.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 09:51 AM) Uh, pretty sure most of these kids were joking. I guess my green text ain't working.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) I'm gonna miss Nate Typical Nate shot Bulls fan reaction, "no no! YES!!" He would've been a ton of fun to watch in the 80s.
