He's been cleared since fukkin februsry. This isnt a case were hes had some setbacks or soreness or whatever, nikkas been good to go for months.

Also lol so if he had led them on a playoff run he wouldnt have been fresh for the next season 5 months later?

This is an ACL we are talking about man, not everyone is Adrian Peterson.

People bring up shumpert but he isn't a franchise player and it wouldn't do his confidence any good to miss an entire season right after your rookie season that just so happened to be a lockout year. Also, if you watch knick games, you'll see that it took shump a minute just to get COMFORTABLE, and he STILL isn't 100%. If Rose came back in Februrary he'd automatically be put under a microscope and he'd be expected to carry the team. It's a HUGE difference. So what do y'all want from rose, exactly? He was just the fukkin MVP and one of the top 5 players in the league, I don't understand why everybody is so quick to shyt on him....I understand bulls fans are frustrated but damn, how do some of y'all go from worshipping the ground this dude walks on to completely shytting on him like that?

I agree with EVERYTHING you just said, I think Bulls fans & Rose stans are just frustrated with how the whole situation has played out. First Adidas markets #The Return marketing campaign which has everybody thinks he's coming back sooner rather than later, then Bulls management clears him to play, then his brother Reggie rips the Bulls front office for not getting enough pieces & slick insinuates that Rose wont come back to a team that can't seriously compete for a title. Rose hasn't helped himself either...him coming out & dunking in pre games, saying he's 100 percent healthy...

I can totally understand a Bulls fan saying fukk that nikka right now

Why bring up AD? Again, this aint like Rose was rushing his comeback or he still has some soreness, dude is FINE physically and has been for months. If he scared.of getting reinjured then he should never come back cause he can tear his acl game 1 in october just the same as if he came back this season.

Seriously? Hed be under a microscope? Dude would have a free pass for the entire season. If he plays well they'd gush about his recovery and if he doesnt lead them to success he has the excuse of being rusty and coming in late in the year. Rose woulda had zero pressure to win this season

...his teammates who have been banged up all season probably respect him a lot less.

Which teammates?

Because Taj, Noah and Deng, teammates who've all came back from injuries have thrown subliminals out hinting that they should have rested longer instead of coming back from injuries.

The real issue that's starting to rise is between how the organization handles injuries coupled with Thibs coaching style and stubbornness.

Sitting on your ass and not even attempting to come back isn't gonna lessen the odds of you getting hurt on a random November night against the Bobcats.

It would be one thing if Rose came back on a strict minutes limit just to see where he is. It wasn't gonna cost the Bulls a playoff spot. If it cost the Bulls a playoff seed it woulda been from 5 to 6 which actually would allow them to avoid Miami, and if Rose still wasn't comfortable, everyone would understand a lot more because he at least tried to see where he was. Instead that dude's dunking, shooting around, doing whatever and then he's in a suit.

He'll never know until he's out there in some form. Now instead of at least seeing where he is in terms of mental confidence, that shyt will haunt him all summer and dog him throughout training camp, and on top of that, his teammates who have been banged up all season probably respect him a lot less.

With the way Rose plays the game, if I were him I'd be cautious too. There is a difference between being cleared to play and being healthy enough to play.

I've had a serious injury before, did my physio and rehab for months, and was then cleared to play by doctors, even though I personally didn't feel strong enough yet. But they were doctors so I trusted them. So I returned to the court. You know what happened? I literally reinjured myself a week later, in my first game, ended up worse than when I had started.

There's a difference between being physically healthy and being healthy enough to play. Rose knows his body better than any of us. There is no point in him coming back right now and trying to play at playoff intensity. I don't really see anything to gain for him.

300 murders a year
It also doesn't help that the bulls medical staff have no credibility whatsoever seeing as how every one they have cleared were literally back on the shelf a week later

So rose should give them the :childplease: til he ready

I'm only upset at being stringed along with false hope he would return

Could have just told us in march he a no go for the year could live with that
