no reason to rush back. take your time and do it right.

One of the reasons I was looking forward to the playoffs because I thought he was coming back

[TheNaturalWR]

Remember the thread that the OP said Rose is just as freakish as AP? LMAO

[Michael_Wilbon]

Rose is a little bitch :facepalm

[Heavincent]

I think people jumped on the "It's easy to come back from an ACL tear!" bandwagon a little too soon. What AP did has never been done before.

[CHi1PriDe]

Rose is a little bitch :facepalm

I know wtf. Shumpert and Rubio came back the following year. There were reports saying how well hes been doing everything in practice and now this? #thereturn better not dissapoint :facepalm speedy recovery rose
:cry:

[mjokc]

OMG, will you freaking noobies stop calling Peterson AP...It's AD.

[tmacattack33]

Good. No reason for him to ruin his whole career. Maybe he's learned from the people before him...Penny, Grant Hill, T-mac, and Brandon Roy.

[Clutch]

I know wtf. Shumpert and Rubio came back the following year. There were reports saying how well hes been doing everything in practice and now this? #thereturn better not dissapoint :facepalm speedy recovery rose
:cry:
And he looks like shit. :lol
I mean nowhere close what he used to be.

Hopefully the offseason will be enough for him to get back to his old himself.

[b0bab0i]

Fvck this guy. Picked him up for fantasy 2 weeks ago hoping he would return after ASW.

Makes me respect Adrian Peterson so much more now

[Connor B]

Honestly sick of this "take your time" horse shit. Rose needs to stop being a ***** and come back. He is clearly ready, he needs to accept the fact that the only way to try and get back his star level is to PLAY in actual games.

[tazb]

Can you imagine if Rondo comes back before Rose? :roll:

[Jolokia]

Why? You know they aren't beating the Heat. If they traded for KG or someone of that magnitude, then I can see why to get him ready for the playoffs.

Get healthy Rose and become MVP x2.

[sportsfan76]

Everyone heals differently

[tikay0]

Sad to say it, but in his recent interview with KC Johnson, seemed like he was genuinely ok with sitting out this year.

He's going to go through 5 on 5 contact practice after the All Star break, so hopefully in a few weeks after that, he'll be ready to go.

Of course, no one's expecting MVP Rose right away, but it would be nice to see him on the court to end the year off.

[TheNaturalWR]

I think people jumped on the "It's easy to come back from an ACL tear!" bandwagon a little too soon. What AP did has never been done before.

Yup. AP just isn't human.

[Crystallas]

AP = Hamstring graft

No two tears and surgeries are the same. I wish Rose did the hamstring graft, but nobody knows how much the doctors had to work with, as far as where the tear was in his ACL.

[Crystallas]

What is AP? Stop talking in acronyms.


I wish people stopped confusing abbreviations with acronyms.

[raid09]

I think people jumped on the "It's easy to come back from an ACL tear!" bandwagon a little too soon. What AP did has never been done before.

Yup - it's dumb. There's also the fact that two ACL tears often have different rehab duration.

Rose is not Wolverine. His body takes as long as it takes to heal, and Bulls fans calling him out is hilarious. This is your franchise player - a guy you hope to lead your team to contention for 10 years, and you want him to rush back for what's essentially a lost season?

[97 bulls]

The Bulls shoildve tanked. Theyll probably finish 3-5th and bow out early. And end up with a crappy draft pick.

[eliteballer]

Whats significant about it being a hamstring graft?

[And 1]

He says he can't dunk.

That basically says there are still probably huge complications that will severely inhibit his game even if he does choose to play, right? :confusedshrug:

[tikay0]

He says he can't dunk.

He can't dunk in stride. He can dunk off 2 legs, but probably still going through mental hurdles with dunking off one leg.

[ihoopallday]

It's most likely all psychological for him.

[oh the horror]

What gets me is the teenagers here that have zero concept of these injuries calling him out. These are kids that have no concept of the human body in general calling another man out.

[InspiredLebowski]

Bulls fans are the worst.

[atljonesbro]

What gets me is the clowns like you who are phagg0ts won't stop posting.

[bdreason]

Bulls need this guy to fill the seats for the next few years. Rushing him back would be a huge mistake.

[Crystallas]

Whats significant about it being a hamstring graft?

A few things. One, it means that the tear was off bone enough for the hamstring graft to be an option. Two, hamstring grafts come with a quicker recovery time. The risk with the hamstring, is an increased chance of the body rejecting it as a permanent transplant.

So much about Rose's surgery and tear was private, so we'll never know why exactly. It's his privacy, so I don't fault anyone for not making the information public. But with the amount of ACL tears, I wish more of the documentation and solutions were made public.

[Kaspah]

The bulls bench got stripped after he tore his ACL. Even with him returning I don't believe they'd be a contending team just playoff fodder.

Nothing wrong with taking his time getting back, this seasons a bust.

Rose knows wusup

[tikay0]

Bulls fans are the worst.

You mean a select few that post on these boards. If you go to any other board, they're not calling him a "*****".

We're just disappointed that we might not get to see him play this year.

Me, myself. I'm okay with Rose sitting out, if it comes down to it, but i'll still be sad as hell inside.

[dbk123]

How epic would it be if the bulls make it to the wcf against the heat, and rose comes back for that series?






Inb4 lebron shuts him down and goes off for 50

This niqqa cashed in and bounced.

[Lebron23]

Good decision by Rose. I rather see a healthy Rose next season. Bulls won't beat the Heat in the playoffs.

[tomtucker]

he could have avoided that injury by keeping the joint nice , warm and loose...........by dancing for instance

[The_Yearning]

Didn't sound too humble there.

[Rysio]

meh so much for that oldschool attitude. guy is so scared to play wouldnt be suprised if he becomes the next greg oden and plays his next game in about 5 years.

[Glide2keva]

Yup - it's dumb. There's also the fact that two ACL tears often have different rehab duration.

[nathanjizzle]

you guys are blowing his words out of proportion. i guarantee you hes returning shortly before playoffs. i know my dude d rose.

:cheers:

[lpublic_enemyl]

You ppl who are criticizing rose are dumb, thats a serious injury and he shud take as much time as he needs to come back and be himself. Or would u fools prefer him as a shell of his former self:facepalm

[Jax]

He's done. Knees are ****ed.

[bagelred]

Adidas has LOTS of explaining to do. Congressional investigation.

[chips93]

his return is being delayed a couple months, so you speculate that he wont play again for 5 years?

negged

[tikay0]

BUMP. Sulkthesuchuckers thread sucks.

[red1]

Coming back with the knee in stable condition should always be his priority. Doesnt matter how long it takes as long as the risk of re-aggravating it is minimized

[ortonsaw]

what a bitch :roll:

[Glide2keva]

what a bitch :roll:
I would love to see how you would handle trying to come back from an ACL tear.

[SilkkTheShocker]

what a bitch :roll:


Seriously. Someone buy this dude some tampons :oldlol:

[raid09]

Please show me where Bulls fans were calling him out.

Didn't think a quantifier was necessary... Obviously I didn't mean "all Bulls fans are hilarious."

There are two in this thread, plus non-Bulls fans who the post could also be applied to.

[tikay0]

what a bitch :roll:

Says the boy with an avatar of a player that's missed 31 games his rookie year, missed 20 games his sophomore year, and played a whopping 11 games in college.

Pot calling kettle......you know the rest.

[Glide2keva]

Didn't think a quantifier was necessary... Obviously I didn't mean "all Bulls fans are hilarious."

There are two in this thread, plus non-Bulls fans who the post could also be applied to.Your post said BULLS FANS CALLING HIM OUT. You can't say shit like that and leave it. You have to back it up. Non Bulls fans don't concern me. Most are Rose haters anyway.

[raid09]

Your post said BULLS FANS CALLING HIM OUT. You can't say shit like that and leave it. You have to back it up. Non Bulls fans don't concern me. Most are Rose haters anyway.

"Bulls fans calling him out are hilarious" pretty obviously means, "any Bulls fans that are calling him out are hilarious," not "all Bulls fans are calling him out and therefore all Bulls fans are hilarious."

I have to back it up? I sort of just assumed you read the whole thread before responding to it, since you seem to be debating the fact that there is at least one Bulls fan in this thread that called him out.

And honestly, what concerns you isn't all that important to me... My post was directed at anyone blaming Rose for not coming back, and especially any (not all) Bulls fans.

Edit: We seem to be on the same page and arguing semantics, so I have no desire to continue this, but feel free to respond since it sucks to not get the last word.

[Blue&Orange]

We all know Rose isn't a peds fan, so yeah no miraculous recovery for him.

Said that the 110% comment was pretty weak, if you're healthy to play, you play period. What's wrong with helping your team at 80%?

I disagree. You do what's best for the future of your career and your franchise.

[nightprowler10]

I've been saying for months that Rose needs to sit out the whole year.

[Apogee]

Because he won't be 80% and it may hurt him in the long run.

The thing about playing with knee injuries, most injuries really, is if you play before you're 100% ready you increase chances of a setback or injuries to other parts of the leg.

[tikay0]

The thing about playing with knee injuries, most injuries really, is if you play before you're 100% ready you increase chances of a setback or injuries to other parts of the leg.

Yes sir. You over compensate with the other leg. Hence, why a lot of players get both knees injured.

[Blingster]

When you come back from an injury like the ACL, your biggest hurdle is gaining back trust that your body can do what it used to.

Also if he comes back and is not 100% or better you compensate with other parts of your body. Suddenly his right knee is hurting from putting too much pressure on it. Or his back his hurting him because of over compensating for the (previously) injured knee. It's a snowball effect basically.


D. Rose has a good 10 years in the left in tank, why risk a couple months for a decade?


Not to mention that an 80% D. Rose isn't good enough to beat Miami this year. Bulls need help and a 110% healty D. Rose to win out the East.



EDIT: Guys above me posted while I was typing.. same idea though

[Go Getter]

Why argue with trolls that are obviously just trying to get a rise out of you.

I just saw one of Utah's top therapists (treats Jazz and REal SL players) for a mallet finger ailment I suffered playing ball.

I asked him about D. Rose's condition, the benefits and causes of doing the surgery the way his surgeons did it and AP's, and of his prediction.

He basically told me that coming back too soon/before he is ready, and genetically, how a person scars (thick scarring may be more durable but have less flexibility, thin scarring is more flexible yet more fragile) are the most stringent issues.

D. Rose got the best medical attention money can buy. The rest is up to luck and genetics because there is no doubt in whether or not he is a hard worker.

[97 bulls]

I've been saying for months that Rose needs to sit out the whole year.
Me too. But with the caveat that the Bulls would be a bottom of the pack team. Then get a high draft pick and have Rose returning fully healthy

[Glide2keva]

"Bulls fans calling him out are hilarious" pretty obviously means, "any Bulls fans that are calling him out are hilarious," not "all Bulls fans are calling him out and therefore all Bulls fans are hilarious."Um, your words are pretty clear. It means exactly what it says. The context of which suggests that Bulls fans ARE currently calling him out. Which I don't see as the case. So it isn't "pretty obvious" I asked you to show where there are Bulls fans that are calling him out. Plus, I didn't say that you said ALL Bulls fans were calling him out, just that you are suggesting that there are some here doing that. Prove it please?


I have to back it up? I sort of just assumed you read the whole thread before responding to it, since you seem to be debating the fact that there is at least one Bulls fan in this thread that called him out.And who would this be? I doubt any Bulls fan (Not Rose fan) would have the nerve to do such a thing.


And honestly, what concerns you isn't all that important to me. My post was directed at anyone blaming Rose for not coming back, and especially any (not all) Bulls fans.I'm going to call bullshit on this one. Anyone calling him out here that I've seen have been haters and non Bulls fans.


Edit: We seem to be on the same page and arguing semantics, so I have no desire to continue this, but feel free to respond since it sucks to not get the last word.Way to give yourself an out. You win the internet. And yes, we pretty much seeing the same way. So it's all good. But on this site, Rose haters like to bait Rose/Bulls fans by hating on him and then turning it around saying that WE are the ones starting things.

This site can be VERY childish.

[Glide2keva]

I thought they wouldn't be as good as they with Rose out, new bench and a much improved East.

But I was glad to be wrong.

Deng needs to go ahead and have the surgery. And they should sit Noah. This season is done

[Glide2keva]

I agree, but if he isn't in any danger of messing it again, let him play. Noah though, I would sit him. His injury needs time and stretching to heal.
