If he sits out a few games and takes it slow throughout the season only to be 100% in the playoffs and avg 38 minutes, would that change your opinion about how you view the kid? Because thats what I think he is doing. The Bulls will make the playoffs regardless, they don't need him for that. They need him to be healthy and conditioned for the postseason push.

man he hasn't played 30 minutes in ANY game this season. personally, I think he got benched yesterday for playing like shyt and they are trying to save face.

so he's gettin paid to chill until the playoffs breh? :mjlol:

millions of dollars, just so he can get in the playoffs(off of his teammates hard work) without any type of rhythm and most likely get hurt again due to not being used to playing at that level of intesity the entire season?

damn near everyone is gonna be playing with some type of injury by the playoffs, rose just mentally weak as hell

Chemistry is huge. The Bulls need him for as many games as possible to get him used to playing with all the new pieces and the only way he'll get over the mental part is to be out there playing.

Don't like the comparisons I see to Hill/Hardaway/Roy. Those guys actually WANTED to play. With Rose it's mental, & is gonna be a problem for the rest of his career. Aches & pains are part of being a pro athletes & any slight nagging injury he gets, he's gonna want to sit down due to paranoia that its more than it really is.

Penny wanted to play so badly. In this highlight video it starts with him talking with Charles Barkley and even now, Penny still thinks a lot about "What if I never got injured." Penny sadly didn't even hit his true "prime" either.

I think it's all a mental issue with him, he's not scared of the pain - just subconsciously afraid of getting hurt again. Two major injuries and he's been out for so long, I don't know if it's a hurdle he can overcome.

give him a klonopin prescription and tell him to sack up. nobody in the league is always playing at 100%..him saying "he didnt feel right" is absurd. get the fukk on the court...if the klonopin doesnt work they should try to ship him to phoenix for dragic in a sign and trade at the end of the year

Bulls have one of the worst fo and medical team when it comes to not giving s fukk about players health. Down to coach thibs. Runs down all his players in meaningless minutes. Remember how the did Deng during that botched spinal tap procedure. Said he had a flu while Deng was battling for his life and ability to walk. Exploited Deng and told him not to get wrist tendon surgery. Exploited Noah and his bum knee. Same going to happen to gasol. I love this team even though I'm a knicker but them mofos in the fo sheisty
SAS just questioned the medical staff, maybe it will get some traction now

Dude please dont be fooled its not that the staff isnt competent its a classic example of conflict of interest

the medical staff is paid by the owners so this is great if u have a benvoloent owner like cuban etc
but in the case of reisendorf who is trying to squeeze everything out of players and trade them for nothing then the medical staff probably overrides their better judgement

you remember when they didnt even want to pay coach thibs i know its a business but the way they go about it as a fan of the game is depressing and just reinforces Kobes decision to not take a large discount
