The Cavs vs Bulls Series

[czvo]

This may actually help the Bulls. Rose was terrible this year. Now they will go through Jimmy Butler again.

 

[CanadaEh]

It's really a shame. I hate seeing injuries derail careers, especially for a talent like Rose.

 

[jlegg21]

Meniscus is about a 4 week injury? Would be back before the playoffs.

2nd repair on the same injury. If he does rush back (history says doubtful), safe bet he wont be Derrick Rose.

At this point it's time to start evaluating whether his career is in jeopardy with his injury history, right?

Tough hearing about drose another knee injury that sucks man

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

Don't be a douche. No one here put him as a "top pg" so where are these delusions coming from?

How am i been a douche??? your been a douche for not understanding my post buddy, and when i mean people i dont mean just cavs fans. Im talking about experts etc the world doesnt revolve around you and i cant see how im been a douche.

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

Hes never gonna "be back." Never ever ever.

Hold on bro just cause you say that, to some people thats been a douche, like wtf i dont understand some posters here, seriously but i agree 100%

 

[Zeus69]

Yeah this is a serious injury.

Imagine it has to do with the extent of the tear and whether or not it's amenable to a "repair" or needs to be shaven/excised. If it's the latter, he could conceivably be back in six weeks. I believe with the last meniscal injury he opted for the more complex "repair" route in hopes of having longer-term upside prognosis (less rapid onset of arthritis). Very consistent with Rose's comments to media earlier in year about not wanting to be in pain when he attends his son's graduation in the future...

What did i kept saying people kept putting rose as a top pg and i kept saying he has to prove it he cant stay healthy hes turning into McGrady is a shame cause rose is so talented

Thing is we at least got to see T-Mac play through a lot of his prime. Rose got hurt originally the year after he made his jump into the elite realm.

Just terrible news.

 

[Dylan Windler's Mom]

F*ck now the pressure is all on us. If we don't make it to the finals it'd be looked as a failure.

Hopefully it's mental he's not like westbrook who comes back early like nothing happend

 

[Kypus]

I'm gonna go ahead and predict Rose gets another knee injury within the next 2 years. 1 is bad enough, but 2....2 just increases the odds extremely exponentially...

Not that I'm wishing it on him, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but that's how the human body reacts- and his doesn't like what he does to it. He's darting and twisting into the lane, that's crushing pressure on those ligament attachments. Dude is just asking for it. It'll be time to think about life after basketball- again. I'm sure he has a plan from his 1st 2 intermissions- this time it'll be time to put it into action.

BOOM. Called it. (in Oct, Post #210, p. 11-ish)

I have multiple knee injuries, and this shit just affects you the rest of your life. Dude should just retire- his calling is elsewhere now.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Dude's been pacing himself and going 60% speed the entire year, and he's still getting knee surgery. Devastating for Rose and the Bulls, but I really think that they may have already seen their best days with their current team.

 

[Ohio]

Hold on bro just cause you say that, to some people thats been a douche, like wtf i dont understand some posters here, seriously but i agree 100%

Honestly it was idiotic (yes idiotic) that so many people, particularly in the media, were picking the Bulls over the Cavs preseason because they ASSUMED Rose was going to return to an MVP level. Like, cmon. The dude's health is completely unreliable. It may come across as douchey but that's not the intent, it is being a realist. Counting on Rose for anything at this point is just pure stupidity.

 

[Binkster]

Meniscus is about a 4 week injury? Would be back before the playoffs.

Originally thought that as well until I read that full athletic recovery is usually around 8 weeks... And that's more for knees that arent held together by a few pieces of chewed gum.

 

[Nightperson]

Still going to be hyped up as the best PG in the NBA whenever he returns in 2-3 years.
