But usually they'd still pull together on defense.

You can't blame last night on the defense. Those shots the Hawks were raining in were mostly ridiculous. Sure, there were a few cheapos in the paint, but that's going to happen.

Ankle sprains are classified as grade 1, 2, and 3.[2] Some of the most common causes of ankle injuries are: lack of conditioning, lack of warming up and stretching properly, previous history of an ankle sprain, inadequate shoes, and uneven ground.[3] Depending on the amount of damage or the number of ligaments that are damaged, each sprain is classified from mild to severe. The amount of force that is placed on the ankle helps classify which grade of sprain is suffered. A mild sprain or one that causes slight stretching with minimal damage to the fibres in the ligament is considered a Grade 1 sprain. When there is some tearing of the ligament and the ankle joint moves in abnormal ways, it is noted to be a Grade 2 sprain. The final classification is Grade 3 sprain and includes severe injuries. These are ones where complete tears of a ligament and the presence of instability is experienced. Usually bruising will occur around the ankle but this can be prevented by putting ice on it and not putting it into hot water.

He needs rest that he's not going to get. Hopefully we don't see it worsen to grade 3 (complete tear). That there would suck.

we're f***ed.

 

But yeah, they were hitting htose shots completely blind last night. You have to tip your cap to them.

A grade 2 sprain is a partial tear of the ligament, up to 50%. The ligaments are extension of the joint capsuleso there is concomitant laxity in the joint with special tests.

 

The results don't change much during the playoffs. You tape it tightly add a functional ankle brace and hope he doesn't make it any worse. The downside is he may play a little more tentative due to the possibility of making it worse.

Ugh. My biggest worry would be that it hurts his ability to elevate and cut, which pretty much makes him TJ Ford.

 

bad thing is bulls play every other day. there's no travel day when going to atlanta.

Overreaction much? The Hawks are not that good. If Johnson and Crawford continue to hit contested shots well lose the series, if they don't well win. I am pretty confident in the fact that they wont. Bulls in 5 or 6. I don't care how bad Rose's ankle is.

Pff, I played for months with the same injury in college. Numbing shot and an ankle brace will solve the issue.

He has been saying the Bulls will lose since the beginning of the season.

HAWKS IN 6.

Not bball, but yes it involved a ball. It hurts like a motherf***er and to this day I have to wear active ankle braces to stabilize it, but he will be able to play through it if its stabilized so it doesnt roll again.

Ugh. My biggest worry would be that it hurts his ability to elevate and cut, which pretty much makes him TJ Ford.

 

This series isn't even my biggest concern. The Bulls can still win without a dominant Rose. But there's no way in hell they can get past Boston or Miami with him shooting 3s all day and not being aggressive.

Has anyone besides that doofus Kaplan reported the MRI and Grade 2 sprain? I read on ESPN Chicago that Rose praticed fine.

I have? Nice

Well I clearly remember you telling us that the Bulls were outclassed in talent by the Spurs.

Indeed. This series wont be too much of a problem, with or with out Rose being 100 percent. That being said, even if Derrick is healthy, this team just needs a swift kick in the nuts. I know we've played down to our competition most of the season but it's about time for this team to wake the f*** up and start playing like they're capable of. No matter how you look at it, we've been bad so far since the playoffs started and I don't want to have to "turn the switch on" in a series against Miami/Boston.

It's official! D-Rose is the youngest MVP in league history, amassing 113 of the 120 first place votes.

I was almost in tears when he was talking to his mom. That was something special.

Rajon Rondo is just plain bad at basketball.
