This could be someones avatar, though the injury maybe just a freak accident.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Why???

This too.

 

[T Dollarz]

Can this be my new avatar please?

 

[Mxrz]

Ahh. Back to this.

 

[darkside31337]

Sigh. So sloppy.

 

[Emwitus]

Chokulu again, why am i not surprised.

 

[JambiBum]

Yes. Keep the starters in when we actually get a lead this time Vogel.

I missed the first two games due to being in Shenandoah.

I really have no idea what happened. Someone enlighten me.

Rose tore ACL with 1 minute to go in the game. Out for the year. The bulls were up 12.

Fuuuu, I just checked espn. That fucking sucks.

Someone link me the thread page, I want to see the reactions.

 

[T Dollarz]

Just wanna throw this out there as a die-hard Bulls age: I put no blame on Thibs. None. You don't play in fear of these things happening. You just don't. :'(

That will be hard to find. There were a ton of meltdowns going on due to the Knicks/Heat game at the time.

Like hell. Team is up 10+ with a minute. Rose has been injury prone. You take him OUT. This is all on Tibs.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Can you really blame the condensed schedule for an ACL tear? Seems like more of a freak injury than something that is due to wear and tear.

 

[Duki]

yes you do wtf

literally played him in garbage time for no damn reason, after a year in which he sustained a shitload of injuries

fucking moronic

apart from chance, thibs gets all the blame

 

[DY_nasty]

When the game is over, you pull your starters.

This is entirely on him.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wait...Hibbert is gonna be a RFA this offseason?

HELLO MAX DEAL

Pacers better match any deal he gets.....

We'll take him..trade him for Gasol. Magic would convice Mitch to do it.,...


lol @ front page of ESPN...Damn!!!

 

[Mxrz]

Sort of need Anderson to start making stuff.

Rose sat out multiple times this season for multiples games. Every time he came back, Thibs played him for +35 minutes. You just don't do that shit, especially not in a season like this.

Adrian Wojnarowski
New York's Iman Shumpert has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, league source tells Y! Sports.

Geez. 2 players. smh.

 

[Iron E Man]

God damn it torn ACL for shumps too

 

[giri]

Eh, yeah and no.

I can't hate on him too much in the play offs for doing it.

 

[Gabyskra]

Hibbert getting that triple double.

Just wanna throw this out there as a die-hard NBA fan: Thibs deserves to be fired over this. You always play in fear of these things happening in garbage time. You just do.

edit: damn shumps da god too

 

[JambiBum]

Hibbert blowing Baby up.


Two ACL's in one day? Damn

fuuuuuuck

 

[DY_nasty]

Please get it together Indiana... this series should never go more than 4 games.

 

[Ripclawe]

Celtics scare me
Heat have no excuse this year
and talk radio down here is more dolphins draft than heat aftermath...

and pat riley has sent out the ACL ninjas it looks like... damn

 

[reilo]

New York's Iman Shumpert has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, league source tells Y! Sports.

Damn.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Geez. 2 players. smh.

Exact same knee too.

Wtf, man. I'd be taking out all my 1st string guards in the 4th if I were Indiana or Orlando right now.

Some voodoo bullshit going on today.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

What a terrible start to the playoffs.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Not a single one has felt like a playoff game.

Well, it is the Eastern Conference after all...

 

[giga]

I'm scared for Teague…

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hibbert blowing Baby up.


Two ACL's in one day? Damn

Two ACLs in TWO HOURS.

That's gotta be some kind of Playoff record.

 

[darkside31337]

The fuck. You want Chris Duhon to play an entire 4th quarter? You are sick.

 

[T Dollarz]

This really ruins the integrity of the playoffs... nah, just the eastern playoffs this year for me. Heat are essentially walking into the finals. How can you take this seriously?

I wouldn't bank on it. It is Lebron after all. He always makes the unexpected happen.

 

[DY_nasty]

godamnit shump...

 

[charsace]

I apologize if I offended anyone. The game just upset me.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Fuck the NBA and the playoffs. Just hand the cHeat the *chip.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

LOCKOUT BASKETBALL

 

[JambiBum]

The crazy thing about both injuries is that there was no contact involved in either one. Just regular basketball moves where the knee gave out.

 

[DY_nasty]

I apologize if I offended anyone. The game just upset me.

its ok bro

hug it out

 

[Alrix]

Like hell. Team is up 10+ with a minute. Rose has been injury prone. You take him OUT. This is all on Tibs.

I dunno. I feel like it can go either way. At the same time he was still rusty and needed more playing time to try and get into rhythm. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say

 

[T Dollarz]

Also, I wasn't on here during the games, but how did you guys feel about lebron's 3 blatant flops in the first half? And the free throw disparity? I'm not saying any controversy or anything, but Lebron playing like that really pissed me off. But yes, their defense was fucking outstanding.

lets not act like it wasnt happening anyway

 

[DJ88]

Damnit, missing the game while at work really sucked. I expected the Knicks to put up a way bigger fight, completely surprised at how bad the Heat destroyed them, but i'll still reserve judgements until after Game 2. That was an amazing defensive display by the Heat though, loved the energy James was playing with.

And I really feel bad for Rose and the Bulls, I hate that a little bad luck like that can just ruin everything you've worked and waited for during the regular season.
