Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

THIS COULD BE FAKE SITE but I just pulled this from twitter:

BREAKING: Chicago Bulls PG Derrick Rose has torn ACL and MCL in left knee, will miss remainder of playoffs.

Not the only Twitter account that is posting that. I don't think anything will be known for sure until the MRI is done, though.

you erased your post bruh

It's a verified account with over 20k followers so it's certainly legit. Still quite skeptical that a Miami cable news station would scoop the Chicago media

I'm 90% sure its all based on the original tweet i just posted. The other ones are the same post just reposted

Yeah because I misunderstood how twitter works, I thought I saw a similar post from ESPNchicago's twitter but it was just someone tweeting that TO EspnChicago

Twitter is acting like its fact now, but I still think its all coming from that NBC Miami tweet and I'm still a bit skeptical about it

I'd be rather surprised that NBC 4 Miami has better inside sources at a Chicago hospital or the Bulls themselves...

Maybe, but not impossible. If it was some podunk news station maybe. But the fact that it's NBC in a major city with interest in the status of Rose, it makes me feel like it probably is legit, but im still skeptical until i see it from more

I feel like you're overestimating Local News stations just a bit.

Matt Spiegel (from the score) is saying no one else is confirming that report at the moment, so either this Miami dude has sources that no one else in the world has, or it might not be true

Several reports saying Bulls Derrick Rose has torn ACL/MCL in left knee, will miss rest of playoffs. Team not confirmed yet...but not good

Report of Derrick Rose's injury was premature, his status is unknown. @BreakingNews

[ctcf]

Shocking

Thank god for twitter, it has made journalist's lives so easy. There's no need to bother with that annoying stuff like verifying sources or fact checking. Edited April 28, 2012 by Tryptamine

Gail Fischer says as soon as he reached the tunnel he got carried the rest of the way

[Irrelevant Dude]

On the bright side, at least we don't have to worry about him playing in the Olympics.

[Guest]

If it is an ACL/MCL (which I believe it is), I can't imagine we'd get a proper diagnosis until tomorrow.

[Guest]

On the bright side, at least we don't have to worry about him playing in the Olympics.

 

Or for most of next year.

[Rizzo Smash]

We might not have to worry about him playing next year either!

[rawaction]

I'm going to literally cry if his ACL is torn.

TNT courtside camera picked up Derrick Rose telling Bulls trainer, "I felt something pop." Otherwise, still awaiting medical report at UC.
