2013-2014 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Sammy Sofa]

So even if Rose misses significant time, I take it this is potentially good news long term? Or at least better than the worst case scenario.

 

It's better, but not by much; the team is still effectively in limbo yet again and with all kinds of questions as to what he's going to be like coming back.

"Results: We identified 129 isolated meniscal tears in NBA athletes during a 21-season span. From this number, 77 (59.7%) involved the lateral meniscus and 52 (40.3%) the medial meniscus. Injuries occurred more frequently in games. The lateral meniscus had a statistically significant higher injury rate. Both left and right knees were equally affected. The number of days missed for lateral meniscal tears and medial meniscal tears was 43.8 ± 35.7 days and 40.9 ± 29.7 days, respectively, and was not statistically different. There was a significant inverse relationship between age and rate of lateral meniscal tears, with lateral meniscal tears more likely to occur up to age 30 years; beyond that medial meniscal tears were more common. Players with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 had a significantly increased risk of meniscal tears compared with players with a BMI less than 25, specifically with an increased risk of lateral meniscal tears. Twenty-five players (19.4%) did not return to play. For those who did, upon returning to competition, there was no statistical change in PER from their preinjury status, and the mean number of seasons completed was 4.1 ± 3.7 seasons."

Rose and the Bulls just dodged a major bullet. Serious injury but not worst case.

[USSoccer]

The second-worst thing about this is that the odds of hearing from that ass-stain Reggie just went up.

On the light end, meniscus tears take 4-6 weeks to rehab but we won't know until the surgery is complete.

Make sure to factor in the fact that his advisors probably won't let him take the court until he's mentally ready.

 

And I don't even think I'm being snarky...any planning toward what to do or expect for the rest of the season is completely in limbo.

Snark away; the sad reality is he's an idiot with idiots in his ear and we've already seen the result of it.

@ZachLowe_NBA: Medical experts have typically considered medial meniscus tears (the one Rose has) less serious than lateral tears.

 

@ZachLowe_NBA: But we'll have to learn the specifics of Rose's injury -- whether they can mend it, whether they'll have to trim some of the meniscus, etc.

This also means we get 30 minutes a night of Hinrich.

Hinrich has been fine this year

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, he's clearly hiding some cyborg upgrades under all of those sleeves.

[Guest]

Isn't that what Westbrook was dealing with? So that's, what, at least 6 months?

Yes

 

no, 6 months would be absolute worst case scenario, and that would mean it's being completely reattached. if they remove it (like chris paul) or is just needs to be cleaned up, it will be like 2 months

[Wilson A2000]

I thought I read they were going to reattach it, the 6 month route

His 11.7 PER begs to differ.

Well, still higher than Derricks

[Guest]

Sounds like Rose has the worst kind of meniscus tear:

 

@KCJHoop: If Derrick Rose has meniscus reattached---the way it's leaning---and misses rest of season, he'll have played in 50 games over 3 seasons.

As a kid my mom tried to ban my brother and I from watching that show because of that scene.

[Guest]

like my favorite scene ever

at least to gif

Reports are Rose out for the season. Trade everybody.

[gscool89]

The Bulls just got blasted.

[UMFan83]

If the East didn't blow I'd say who knows if the Bulls even make the playoffs Admirable that the Bulls were able to claw together 45 wins without Rose last year but to do it again with even less offensive talent might be tough for this team to do.
