The 2012-2013 NBA Random Thoughts Thread

I remember when he started rehab, Calipari telling people that Rose said he was gonna come back jacked.

John Calipari: Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose will come back stronger than ever - ESPN Chicago

why is he worried about his upper body so much as a pg? and is all that additional weight great for his leg strength? im confused as hell how this is a good thing for a player that relies on quickness.

Yeah, that's exactly what Oden did after his microfracture surgery the first time. He put on like 25lbs of muscle in his upper body which was way too much for his lower body to carry.

Maybe he's taking hgh for the recovery and there upper body gets bigger in response... I can be totally wrong of course.

thats all he could do before he could do any lower body work i dont believe he will remain at that weight long.

Deron doesn't deserve to be an all-star this year, how did dude go from a top 3 PG to this.

Drose looks jacked

and that jumper gonna be wet.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

Drose is yoked now. He put on 15 pounds of muscle..

Is that even a good thing? Like how is all that extra weight gonna affect his explosiveness? Not a good comparison but I recall amare coming back with 10-15 extra pounds of muscle after hurting his back and he was slow as shyt. Dude ended up dropping all that extra weight.

My opinion is rose shoulda came back lighter

Since his rehab wasn't rushed and he is going to be good an healthy before coming back it shouldn't be too much of an issue. (though I wouldn't have wanted him to put on the weight). He obviously wants to be stronger and if he waited until he was playing to start trying to add upper body size his shot would probably be off all season as he got stronger. Atleast this way he has been used to being stronger and his shot should be consistent.

Just hope he is careful now that he is going to have more pressure on the knee so he doesnt end up like again.
