Time to go!!
If only Yao, Roy, and Gilbert and the balls to do what Rose did. Its guaranteed money. Why rush it?
They weren't beating the Heat anyway.

He still can't catch the ball. No one projected him being this good?
His game hasn't changed since last season. In fact the funny thing is, he's averaging the same amount of blocks this season as he did last season while playing double the minutes.
I don't know whats going on with someone else s body and/or mind, but you have to feel like this dude has some sort of mental block about playing.
When your playing basketball, not Football, and doctors clear you to play and weeks and weeks go by and you keep telling people your not ready yet, something is up.
His management wanted to hold him out due to their own past knee issues. He was projected to return by march he was always going to go an extended period of full practices before returning. The mental block was this he wanted to do what he did before he's close to playing. I wouldn't be surprised if you heard that he will play within the next few games.
why are you so confident he'll play red?
It is 100% true that Bulls believed Rose would be back first week of March. They had discussed a timeline for his return and believed it would be the first week of March against Philly (28th) or Brooklyn. The Bulls also were prepared to go hard after JJ Redikk via trade to aid them for their playoff run and become their starting 2 guard but did not offer when they were made aware that Rose was in fact not coming back at all this season a decision Reggie and his camp made based off their previous experience with knee related injuries. The likely deal would have been centered around Teague Rip and a pick or possibly Butler but if it would have been Butler Bulls would have gotten more back. Not a lot of news shook out prior to the Miami game where the Bulls ended their streak and this gave the Front Office the feeling that "Hey, If we get Rose back we can take Miami". They went to Rose with this, told him exactly what they felt and basically that he needed to return. The original plan was to bring him back slowly off the bench for 10-15 minutes for his first game back and slowly increase it to the point he starts the final couple of regular season games and heads into the playoffs. More recent info. Talked to my buddy last night, he says that Bulls are pushing for him to return do truly believe they can win a championship and have started resting players (Noah, Deng) for playoffs. Bulls firmly believe Rose will play this year and think it happens within next 4 games.
Where is that Chris Broussard alias when you need him
