Yeah, dude needs to just retire now.
It's just sad at this point.. dude's knees are just fucking brittle.

I'm trying hard to be glass half empty guy regarding Rose.
Not gonna bet on that. People still doubting ATL ignore that their style of ball probably doesn't need a playoff gear. I'm a huge proponent of the playoff gear, but I'm not sure the Hawks need it. Ball movement travels, and when the passing lanes start getting shut off, they still have Teague who can get the defense rotating. I don't think the Cavs have anyone who can stay in front of him, so once he's past his man, the ball can be kicked back out and swung around the horn. I liken their game to the Spurs. I don't think they need a superstar, because as a team they are sound. They don't rely on one person to get it done, so playoff defense shouldn't slow them down. We'll see. The Bulls are probably done though. PEACE.

As a blazer fan I kinda sorta hate you for making that comment.
Loved that dude, great guy and great player.. I just imagine having a healthy B-Roy on this team.. not that we'd have Lillard.. but if we did.. a healthy Roy with Lillard and LA... damn.. a man can dream.

I've been an 11-game Bulls season ticket holder for the past 10 years but after this season I may finally just give up. I'm tired of having this team come so close to real success only to have the rug pulled out from under them.
Those first 3 years of Rose's career were magical. It's a goddamn shame these last 3 were such a disaster.

Don't think I'm putting money down on playoff tickets. No way am I gambling $3k on Rose's knees.

The problem is we already paid the invoice for playoff tix last week. 1 game per round. Whatever games they don't play get automatically credited towards next year's ticket plan (assuming we choose to re-up).
It's not about a playoff gear. It's about close games coming down the stretch and getting the whistle.

Glad I saw him person during his mvp year. I'm really fucked up over this. Poor guy :/

Man someone pump as many HGH to rose as possible. Shame a player that talented is held back by injuries. A persons knee can only take so much injuries and repair surgeries.
It always makes me cringe that drose jumps so high and almost always lands on one leg so hard.. darn try your best to land on both feet derrick.

Shit, just read about Rose, that sucks. I'd rather they be at full strength especially since we're bound to face them later, but that's a tough break.

The hardest part about all of this is he's genuinely a nice guy. He didn't piss away his career with off the court crimes. Fate / The Basketball Gods decided his body wasn't going to last to have a real career. 3 years. That's all he gets. He could've been one of the best players to ever take the court, and now all of that potential is gone.
Yeah I'm being a bit fatalist, but after the last 3 years I really can't see how he comes back from this again, or how this team can continue on with him as their star. He has to move on, and they have to move on. Hell, even Noah is coming to the end of his rope with his knee / leg issues. The championship window for this group might've just permanently shut.

Happened after the trade deadline too, so they don't have a lot of options. Feel bad for Pau too.

i'd say a small percent is that, but this is just bad luck now
if anything, rose should play the second half of each season x only the playoffs
bummer though
Rose took like a year and a half off..

I don't feel that badly for Pau, considering he's already won a couple of titles and this was likely his final contract.
I do feel badly for Noah and Kirk though. They've been through all sorts of ups and downs with this team for so long and will likely never taste championship victory.

Rick Carlisle and Rajon Rondo had a heated exchange during that timeout. Never got in each other's faces but shouted across court. Rondo was benched

Tear believed not to be as bad as 2013. Hopefully it's like Russell Westbrook.

I trust K.C., but I highly doubt he'll be back in time for the playoffs. There's not much season left.

The worst part it all is that the system he has played in is built on playing your starters to the fucking ground.
A lot of people praise Thibbs, but we all saw the minutes players have logged under his system.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
The thing that killed rose was the lock out year. Before that, the guy was injury free, all of a sudden he had nagging injury after nagging injury until finally the acl tore.

So Rose can't get amnestied because his contract was signed in new CBA and if they could they used it on Boozer.

They would never amnesty rose.
Wilt played more than 48 minutes a game an entire season. Rose body has betrayed him. Nothing more.

Thibbs also is not very good at protecting his players. I mean come on, I remember looking at Deng gassed as fuck in the ECF against Miami.

totally different style of players though.. 48 Minutes as Wilt against the competition he had back then is a lot different to what Rose had to play against. Guys now are faster stronger and more athletic than back in the day.
Doc Holliday
SPOILER: Columbus finds America
Yea, thibs is on his way to killing Butler. Just look how many Bulls break down on a regular basis. I'ts ridiculous!
Pretty much every single great player in the history of the game played big minutes. Tons of them more than Rose per game. The difference is some of their bodies weren't made of glass like Rose.
Holy shit this Rose news 
... what a nosedive it's been for him.
4-6 weeks means they would have to remove the meniscus piece... never a smart move.
Meniscus damage generally isn't from straight legged landings like that, it's twisting or bent knees turning/grinding etc. Straight legged leads to snapped ligaments/bones.
You never want it to be the shorter recovery... that just means they can't repair it, will just remove it and move on and hope the remaining pieces can hold up. Look what that did for Dwade and Broy.
He's garbage. Glad we salvaged something for him, still should've fleeced someone else while his value was higher.

Sucks about Rose. This guy was an MVP for crying out loud and has just fallen off a cliff. Makes me wonder if he just had a natural propensity for injury or if his play style contributed. Maybe that attacking/explosive sort of PG just has a shorter shelf life, like the NBA version of a running back. Makes me worry for Westbrook or guys like Wall.

That was a sweet finger roll tear drop by Curry today.. Dude should get alot of votes for MVP
I wouldn't even blame Rose if he called it a career, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's back by playoffs..okay a little. Its just a damn shame. A shame for Butler and Pau as well, having great season. And Chicago fans. And Rose, so so brief of a peak. Reminds me of Prior- briefly truly great, predicted hall of fame careers, brought on youth and optimism to Chicago sports. Now we're just left hanging on, and I really thought he was turning a corner to becoming a dependable star on court. Pre-all star break he was playing some of his best ball.
I will say, alternative to Brandon Roy, Rose does have a chance to recover. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12378346
You look at it clinically, isolate the problem, and go from there. This doctor breaks it down to the previous meniscus tear may not have healed correctly, could have been bothering him throughout the year. And acknowledges the acl tear, the big one, has been stable since. He hasn't lost his athletic ability entirely from this year, and the meniscus isn't the worst injury he could have had by any means. There's reason to be optimistic, but the pattern of injuries and what its put Rose and the Bulls/Chicago through is the real depression. That said, its a step from Walton and a step from Brandon Roy away. We'll see.

I can't believe this. He was already playing within himself, particularly when attacking the paint and defending. Made the safest medical decisions with his previous injuries too. I just...dunno...

So Rondo and Carlisle got into it which resulted in him benching Rondo for the rest of the game late during the 3rd.
Supposedly it was over Rick asking Rondo to timeout. /shrug
