Well the Bulls are "contenders" because they are in the East. But yes, based on what I'n seeing from Rose, anyone who thinks the Bulls are equal to or better than us is foolish. IMO."Averaging 25-8" like he did during his MVP season and "getting back to the level of play he was at pre-injury" are two different things. I expect the latter not the former.
If he's healthy there's no reason to think it impossible for him to be the same old Derrick Rose he was pre-injury. Physically he looks like he hasn't missed a step. The only thing I'm noticing in his game right now is that his floor game doesn't seem to be quite up to speed (As TyGuy pointed out), but that's expected from a guy who hasn't had much game time experience in the past 2 years.
If you want to call me foolish for thinking that a healthy D-Rose can get back to the level of play he showed pre-injury then go ahead lol. However, you may want to call every other fan and analyst who views the Bulls as being contenders foolish also because that's what they're assuming as well.
