Take this with an enormous grain of salt, as this is just from some guy on RealGM with no source mentioned.....

 

Rose will play on Thursday! We should hear the news on Wednesday.

I gotta think that guy is just predicting it with no inside sources. We'll see though

Yeah, me too. But with Rose dunking yesterday in pre-game, and the Sun Times article today quoting a teammate saying that Rose is physically ready, and that Rose just has to believe it...you have to think it's gonna be really soon.

I agree....could be any time over the next 2 weeks.

 

RealGM is crazy with predicting his return. They are saying things like 'it will be thursday against philly because it would be a perfect story for him to return at the same building against the same team'. Other people are speculating that adidas has a hand in deciding when he returns. I guess they could be consulting with Rose about that, but I don't think it plays much of a factor at all. He'll play when he's ready whether its against the Sixers or Bobcats or whatever.

[UMFan83]

haha...from RealGM:

 

Nick Friedell on espn1000 again saying there is a better chance Rose sits out this year than chances that Rose returns.

[Brian]

My sources are telling my Derrick Rose will play this season probably soon.

[Brian]

My sources are telling me Derrick Rose will not play this season.

[cubbyvirus00]

My sources are telling me that Rose cannot dunk off of two feet with his right hand.

[UMFan83]

Looks like Taj is going to be out at least 2 weeks with an MCL sprain

Guy from RealGM who I believe works at ESPN, but I'm not 100% sure it's that guy

 

I'm currently at work and I got some news on the Rose return. It has been said that Rose wants to return on Thursday. This is coming from the same source that told me that the Bulls were signing Hinrich this past off season. Hopefully he's right again.

[Banedon]

Well, that's twice that RealGM has said Thursday as the return day. I'm hopeful, but fearful of coordinated trolling?.

[Banedon]

“I just go day-by-day,’’ Thibodeau said of a return this week for his point guard. “I just want him to continue to improve, when he’s ready, he’s ready. His focus is on the rehab, our team is focused on their improvement and the opponent, and at some point hopefully he’ll rejoin us.’’

Well, this guy has been posting there since 01, is known to work at ESPN, and has been credible in the past. And it was the poster I was thinking of.

[Banedon]

Man, can't Derrick come back on a night when the Blackhawks are off?

[Banedon]

Again, all just msg board gossip, but this is the same person...

 

Ok, I've been saying Thursday for a few days, my source is not with the Bulls but with a certain advertising company. I'm being told they are pretty confident on Thursday, again, this is just someone from the lead advertising company. So the rumor is Thursday, but what I don't understand, why hasn't Rose sat on the bench yet. If he is coming back Thursday, I expect him on the bench tonight.

 

i call bs

 

I understand, I would call BS but when a company buys advertising for the game and is linked to a certain player, I think its going to happen. Again I would call bs too, but they have purchased time.

 

Don't understand what the significance of Rose being on the bench is. Who cares?

[Careless]

Noah's worst rebounding quarter I've ever seen. 1 rebound with 30 seconds left, and it's not like he was just unlucky with the bounces.

[Guest]

this team looks dead as hell

[rawaction]

Why the F would a CHICAGO v. CLEVELAND game be blacked out in Pittsburgh on NBATV?

I feel like you've lucked out tonight. With this game, anyway

[SpongeWorthy]

Cool losing at home to this garbage team without Kyrie

[Guest]

probably the least energetic i've seen this team in the thibodeau era.
