So D. Rose is Cleared to Play, but Won't Because he Can't Dunk off his Left Foot?

[cornercommission2k12]

rose is considered by most as a top tier pg

once he hits the floor these defenses and these pgs will be going at his neck

he just wants to make sure he can return fire. would look ugly watching brandon jennings or kyrie dropping 30 on him and he cant fight back.

secondly, this organization failed to deliver a quality talented roster, so if rose dont want to come back to some shyt where its still so much heavily relied upon him to score and make plays for everyone else, on a healing knee, then i cant blame him. he got a lot invested in him. and right now, in a playoff series, it still would be so much relied on him to draw so much attention to himself to get shots for others, and for him to force the issue and score down the stretch of games to get wins.

you put a couple of dynamic wing players around rose, then he wont have to carry that burden. but since that still would be the case, he should sit til he feels ready to handle that load.

Knicks and Pacers praying he sits out, neither one wants Chicago in the first

Chicago's team is trash.

yall bugging, the only way to get over the mental aspect is to actually play. No type off off court prep will get you over that.

Shumpert slowly becoming more aggressive the more he plays. The longer he sees that his knee is gonna be alright the more confident he's getting

Exactly.His knee is healed and rehabbed he can play basketball

The only way to get the confidence back is by playing in games.Resting and sitting out til next season won't do anything.Rose is shook cuz he only knows how to play one way and until he can pogo hop over everybody again and catch alley oops he won't play

if its a healthy rose, noah, deng taj back if marco can give us some good minutes, but more importantly if thibs starts jimmy butler, or at least give him most of the minutes at the 2 and if nate and kirk off the bench can give us some good bench scoring, that is still good enough to get to the ecf. sorry pacers dont have a derrick rose.

problem is thibs has these frank ocean relationships with his players, so boozer will still get 30 minutes a game, but worse, rip will still start, get us off to bad starts in the 1st and 3rd qt and we probably going out in the 2nd rd.

i don't want him playing at all. Come back next season 110%. No need to risk it this season.

its no risk. I want him to come back this season so he won't be rusty as shyt come october. I mean if he waits til next season, he will have NOT played a game in 18 months. thats ridiculous.

plus doctors have already said that the final part of rehab is to play in games.

With what we've seen from Jimmy and Marco, Rip shouldn't be in the rotation at all let alone starting.

this is where I disagree. he's a professional, and if he is healthy, he should be playing regardless of the roster assembled around him.

with that kinda thinking, he might as well sit out next year cuz boozer and hinrich will still be on the team and there won't be a 2nd superstar.

 

[beenz]

they are NOT good enough to beat Miami this year, so what's the point?

won't be better than miami next year either most likely. maybe he should sit out until lebron's prime years are over.

yup, look at rubio. sucked in dec/jan, but he's come on really strong the past month now. much better than he was pre-injury

How can he overcome the mental aspect of an ACL injury without playing in a game? He needs to seriously reevaluate how he's looking at this situation. Expecting to come back without physical or mental rust is absurd. wonder how his teammates feel about it. I'm pretty sure most of them play banged up at some point through the season...

 

[KingJudah]

Derrick Rose must be over gassed. This ni99a thinks he's the second coming. "Ima wait until I can dunk off my left foot" Ni99a diversify your game and take your scary a$$ to the court and play.

banged up? We got 4 dudes out the lineup right now. bulls are decimated with injuries. I'd be mad as hell playing balls out with the expectation that dude was gonna play, only for him to decide to shut it down at the last minute. unless they already knew that from the jump.

I'm also really thinking the bulls had drose keep quiet so they could keep selling out the stadium all under the guise of #thereturn

 

[beenz]

anyone know if drose is back in 2k13? I haven't played since the weekend.

 

[xXMASHERXx]

You guys saying he needs to come back are not being realistic. You know as soon as he comes back Thibs is going to try to ride him as much as he can into the playoffs and probably end up getting him hurt again. Bring him back now for what? The bulls weren't good enough to beat Miami with a preinjury rose and they haven't gotten any better since then.

I hope Rose comes back next year because it ain't like he's gonna jump into playing D-league games for 2 weeks as a rehab assignment. It's right back into the big time. Maybe that's part of the mental issue, as well.

Go hard at camp & then start with the exhibition games at 100% physically & mentally.
