Derrick Rose

[Angel Face]

Miss this guy playing. One of the most exciting players in the league. Injuries denying us entertainment. Hope this guy comes back healthy and back to his MVP form soon.

[Mr. Incredible]

As do I. I wish him the best. He's one of my favorite players to watch.

[Graviton]

He was basically a combination of Westbrook, CP3 and Parker. He had the full arsenal. The moves he could execute in the paint against 3-4 players were so unique, and that floater was money too.

Best PG in the league when healthy, sadly I don't think he will ever be back to his old self. Those knees just couldn't handle the Adidas curse. :cry:

One of the most exciting players of all time and arguably the most athletic player to ever play in his position. Truly a shame.

[russwest0]

I was a huge fan of the guy but damn has that changed after seeing him now be expected to miss the playoffs twice in a row despite the recovery times for his injuries suggesting he should be back.

I always wanted to see Bulls vs OKC in the Finals. Rose vs Westbrook. :bowdown:

Agree with everything you said. :applause: Edit: Except to the part where you said he will never be back to his old self. I still believe he will.

**** Adidas he should have signed with Jordan or Nike. Adidas keeps denying players their path to greatness.

He's so durable that even Adidas curse can't stop him from being great.

He wanted to sign w/ Nike, they didn't want him.

LOL epic Ryan Reynolds GIF usage bro ... answering the question, no idea. I guess they didn't want to give D-Rose a sig line. Maybe they didn't expect him to be MVP level by his 3rd season?

I "hate" the Bulls and Rose but i dont wish what happened to him on anybody. Guy really had some bad luck not only as an individual but because he was in a great situation to compete for a strong organization and make things more interesting in the East. Two years off gonna make for an almost impossible comeback to the top. Hope he'll make it though, Bulls fans (the few that aren't awfull :oldlol: ) deserve a break.

I love Derrick and all by can we really call him or most starting guards "point guards"?

Derrick's a super scorer going to the basket w/ a decent jumper but his intelligence doesn't match all that athleticism and spectacular moves.

[Mass Debator]

Gonna buy his jersey now because if this thread.

[NumberSix]

I was too young to see Rose WAAYYY back when he was in the NBA.

[Dengness9]

This ****** up here w/ lame ass attempts like always.


Heat wouldn't be going for a three peat if Drose never got ****ed up. Sad as hell.

what happened last time they met D Rose in the playoffs?

[pegasus]

what happened last time they met D Rose in the playoffs?

3 superstars + 3 refs vs. 1 superstar + decent supporting cast happened

Derrick Rose was 22 and Lebron James had Wade and Bosh. So the Bulls lost. Quit acting like the Bulls were favored to win or something. This is the oldest trick in the book by Heat front runners that aren't even Miami Heat fans when the big 3 are done.

in the Rose era, the Bulls hadnt even made it out of the first round til that year.

IT TOOK MJ AND LEBRON A LOT MORE THAN 3 SEASONS TO WIN A TITLE, WHY WOULD ROSE BE ANY DIFFERENT?

Go tell your bandwagon heat propaganda to Ray Allen's son or Haslem's mom.

Said the guy who can't formulate a sentence.

Sure you love him, he makes you speak in incoherent tongues.

Damn man I asked a simple question. I really wasn't trying to get you riled up, but have a discussion. I'm not sure if it's possible based on the way your reacting, but i'll try.

I'm not saying Rose didn't have a chance to win a ring if he didn't get injured. The cast he has and Thibs would be great for him. We never got to see Rose in his "prime" against LeBron because of injuries. Assuming that Rose would've won 2 rings and LeBron would be ringless is just a big jump though. If we had seen Rose play in the playoffs last year averaging 25-4-7 or something really solid, you would have some what of a point, but it would still be a stretch. We didn't get to see any of that though. It would be like Thunder fans saying they would've definitely won a ring last year if Westbrook didn't get injured, even though the Spurs and the Heat would still stand in their way.

Same ***** shit you said already. Derrick Rose was completely overmatched. It is what it is. He gave it his all but you don't just stroll into the NBA and start winning titles so easily.

Learn the game f uck boy

Alright Ill step back on how I am coming at you since you finally gave me something to actually go off.

Bulls were gonna beat the Heat the next year when Rose tore his ACL against Philly. Obviously just an opinion but they were ripe for the taking and the Bulls were healthy and ready to roll and at least had Rip Hamilton ready for a playoff run instead of 5 ppg Kieth Bogans.

Heat got off so easy the last few years because their biggest competition disappeared through injury.

It's an opinion, but once again it's a stretch. 2012 LeBron was pretty ridiculous. We saw what he did in Game 6 against Boston that year was beyond anything we've seen in the playoffs for a while. You're also assuming that the Bulls are getting through all the other competition in the East (Boston and Indy). Like I said, if we got to see prime Derrick in the playoffs dominate, you would maybe have a point but we didn't get to see that. Everything you're saying is based on conjecture. And i get it, you're a Bulls fan so you're gonna represent your team. Having the first seed doesn't guarantee a playoff victory though. Look at Indiana right now. They are first place, yet nobody is picking them in the ECF over the Heat.

For 2013, it just becomes a little more unlikely that a healthy D Rose would be able to beat the Heat. The Heat were a 27 game win streak team, and the big 3 were having the best season of their time together.

Again, I'm not saying it's impossible that the Bulls could have won a title, or even prevented the Heat from getting one. To just flat out say "LeBron would be ringless if Rose never tore his ACL" is just making far too many assumptions.
