Chicago Bulls Offseason

[Banedon]

D-Rose says he's about 2 weeks from being able to do cuts.

[Mark Priors Calves]

I really hope Bulls' management holds down Rose from pushing himself too much. He's such a competitor that he's going to be pushing his recovery curve. I hope GarPax looks at the long term over trying to salvage this season.

 

Good to see Thibs signed to an extension.

Once the doctor's say he is healed there really isn't a chance for re-injury. I don't think the Bulls management has a better idea than the doctors. As long ad Rose listens to the doctors he is okay. Babying him further just delays a process that is mostly mental.

Don't feel like digging up the actual quote, but I saw on the Bulls twitter earlier today that Rose said he was very happy to have Kirk back, and it was the first guy he recruited ... it's a start I guess.

I've completely lost track of who is even on this team anymore

Neil Funk looks even more like a Dick Tracy villain than da Bum.

I couldn't disagree with this more. There's still a process of rebuilding not only strength in the knee, but the stamina to withstand long workouts and back to back games. If he overdoes it, there's a good chance he'll end up with some other overuse injury, like blowing a hamstring, if he's not monitored. It's a lot more involved than just making sure the knee is good to go. There's going to be some different mechanics that all the other muscles and tendons will have to get used to.

I see no reason to baby Mark Prior further. The doctor said he can go back out there after the collision, so what's the big deal?

Totally not the same thing, but okay.

 

Bottom line is if he is ready to cut or jump the actual surgically operates knee is fine. The overuse thing brought ip above is somewhat of a concern, but not more so than any injury. But everything I've read about ACL injuries is that its mostly mental. So holding back on physical recuperation is unecessary and delays the time when we have a 100% Derrick Rose. Basically, the doctors schedule and Rose's own brain should be plenty on their own to ensure he doesn't rush back. If they do more beyond that they're delaying things.

Yes, trusting Derrick Rose's brain is probably the best course of action.

ACLs are freak accidents. Nothing there indicates the second was a result of the first not being healed. Its not like throwing a baseball which is pretty much a degenerative motion.

i'd like for @notdrose1 to weigh in on this

I'm not suggesting we ask Derrick to brush up on his medical studies. What I'm saying here is that almost any person will have physocolgical factors that hold them back way more than any NBA front office could. As long as thats monitored by physicians who are way more qualified than John Paxson, theres literally nothing to worry about. "On schedule" should be music to any Bulls fans ears.

I don't see what the big deal is. Forte just sprained his acl and was back 2 weeks later.

[sneakypower]

I obviously don't have any visual evidence, but by all accounts Hummel's re-injury was not a freak accident.

 

Look, I understand that there are highly trained medical professionals working towards getting Rose to 100%. That doesn't mean people shouldn't be concerned with the progress of his recovery or worry about setbacks. These are still valid concerns.

Goodness gracious. Yet another "Derrick Rose is dumb" crack.

 

Who cares? He's not dumb on the court. So the guy couldn't break xxx on his SAT. Big deal.

Responding like that to SSRs Bulls troll posts only encourages him.

Well I don't know Hummels situation at all. But I doubt there is any legitimate connection, unless he just totally botched the doctors recommendations.

 

And sure I'm worried about setbacks, but thats totally different than worrying about him rushing it, and certainly doesn't mean I want Paxson or someone to arbitrarily start adding to the timeline, because theres nothing to indicate as far as I can tell that it will aid him by being extra cautious. The added cautiousness just makes people feel better because it seems reasonable.

I'm a huge Bulls fan and think Rose is nifty keen, but man, he is as dumb as a cinderblock.

[SpongeWorthy]

he just wants to ween, ok?
