Re: 2012-13 Chicago Bulls Thread

Next year I agree with you, this year no way. His games would be rehab. Let him do those when the stakes are low at the beginning of next year.

 

But nobody is beating the Heat, so why weren't the stakes low in the month leading up to the playoffs?

If rose plays all year and is playoff ready, they absolutely could beat the heat. Him just showing up and trying to play now, no freaking way.

He means that if no one is beating the Heat without a fully-prepared Rose (and I agree with that thought), then why not play the last month or even couple weeks of the regular season and test the waters? What is there to lose?

Nothing, but he didn't. That's what makes me think he thinks he's still hurt.

But he isn't. He hasn't even said he thinks he's hurt. It's all about being ready, which is impossible to know unless you play.

This argument following an epic basketball game is annoying.

 

Well, he was trying to sabotage it while it was going on, so I guess this is the next best thing.

Ok. Enough. This terrible conversation has actually deteriorated.

[Sammy Sofa]

Enough what? Talking about the Bulls?

No, juvenile back and forth BS.

Which lasted all of, what, 4 posts? Come on, man. It ended on its own.

I bet you all loathe Nate Robinson after ~12 games.

Collegiate level. I played with and against guys that still currently play professionally. And that ended after a ruptured ankle. So I do have an idea of how it works.

So then no, you didn't play at a world class level. So you don't know how this will effect a guy playing the toughest position in the world against the greatest atheletes.

 

Seriously dude, die in a fire, you have no earthly idea what the hell you're talking about. It's about getting back to the level you were at prior to the injury, regardless of what level that was. This line of argument you've taken on is completely worthless and you're wrong. I'm pretty sure your undying love for Deron has completely blinded your ability to reason in a sound manner.

Lol. I'm sticking up for Rose. When you're at the level he was, which was IMO, the second best player in the world. Any little slip up could cost you because the difference is so small between the next closest guy. But yeah, that's just my love of deron. Nice thought process there, me saying repeatedly that bulls fans were dumb for yelling about rose and calling him elite was just a ploy to praise deron Williams. You sure did crack that code, Idiot.

The Bulls more than doubled up the Pacers' score yesterday.

Hinrich questionable for game 5. (bruised calf)

KC Johnson's twitter: Thibs on when Nate Robinson boards the team bus: "You can hear him. I prefer to hear him on defense."

[bukie]

A great breakdown of the 1 in 5000 comeback from the Bulls, and how it wasn't much of a Nets choke-job, just great coaching by Thibs and Nate Robinson never missing shots: http://www.theteamrebound.com/2013/04/14-points-in-6-possessions-how-bulls.html

If he doesn't play at all, he will still have averaged 30 minutes played in games 4 and 5.

He looked like the walking dead at the end of the third overtime. wouldn't have been surprised if they'd had to "put him down" after the game.

Can you add a player in the middle of a series if someone goes down like Kirk? Maybe...Rose?

Hinrich in a walking boot out for game 5 possibly more per KC

You can. I don't expect rose to come back in the middle of a playoff series though, definitely not one the Bulls are up 3-1. If there was a chance for Rose to come back (which I don't think there is) it would be to start a series against Miami if the Bulls can finish off Brooklyn.

If there was actually any prayer of Rose coming back in the playoffs, why not at least give himself a game to shake off some rust instead of just jumping right into a series with Miami?

Did his brother tell him he was too hurt to play?

He's waiting to dunk off his injured calf before he comes back I hear
