Brooklyn is playing there best ball ever as a team... Rose continues to shoot around but doesn't want to give it a go? Fuk him. I hope Chicago natives turn their back on him. If you can't give it a go Rose... retire.

[Big Bear]

yeah fukk Derek Rose. He is the definition of a pussy.

Guy only cares about himself. Fukk him, he should not get paid this year.

He has been medically cleared to play and he is too much of a pussy to play.

and he obviously has no heart, no toughnes, no pride, and he doesnt love the game.

If i was Joakim noah i would beat the shit out of rose in the locker room and give him a real reason not to play

[Big Bear]

this is what happens when athletes get money, they get lazy

[Smoke]

He wants to be close to 100 % only he knows how he feels

[Ralphie1412]

Im a diehard bulls fan and season ticket holder and Im completely ok with it. And so are most of us.

The bulls has the worst off season EVER. Got rid of Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer, CJ Watson, Omar Asik, etc. They werent going anywhere this year. Noah is playing at 50%.

Ricky Rubio and Iman Shumpert would kill to go back in time and sit out longer. This now makes Rose 100% for next year and the east is going to be Miami v.s Chicago for the next 5-10 years.

[StateChamp]

saw my 500th clip of rose shooting the rock in his pjs again this morning, guy should have a nasty jumper when he does come back

[shaunovery]

surely if he's cleared to play coach should just put him in

[Big Bear]

surely if he's cleared to play coach should just put him in

he is straight up refusing to play.

they should refuse to pay him.

So Noah can play at 50% but Rose can not at 80%+?? Why not sit Noah if he's only 50%?

[shaunovery]

yeah surley something in his contract if he doesn't want to play then don't pay the guy

[meader99]

So Noah can play at 50% but Rose can not at 80%+?? Why not sit Noah if he's only 50%?

Cause Thibs is an idiot when it comes to managing Deng and Noahs minutes.

[Big Bear]

i guarantee the reason Rose wont play is b/c he lacks confidence and he doesnt want to go out there and suck and have the media saying he's lost it.

If he keeps saying he's hurt its an easy cop out and he can continue to get by on his past performances.

His stock can only go down now.

[PerfectGrape]

You're a stupe. What happened last year when Rose was injured and didn't have ample time to rehab before the playoffs? He tore his acl. Maybe if they took a more cautious approach last year they wouldn't be in this mess.

[goduke]

I just think hes not playing because he knows his team doesnt have a shot to win it all with him in. They are too banged up and he doesnt want to risk being injured again for a team that has no shot

[Ralphie1412]

So Noah can play at 50% but Rose can not at 80%+?? Why not sit Noah if he's only 50%?

Noah should NOT be out there. Hes a liability.

[The Giant]

This is a tough one.

Only Rose knows if he's really hurt.

Plus, it's too late for the team to gel with him anyway. They aren't beating Miami.

[TheMoneyShot]

If you're cleared to play. Then play. Doctor says... you'll have no significant side effects... then get your ass out on the court and play. How much f'ing rehab do you need? Retire rose. Do us all a favor.

[vyomguy]

kobe/noah/deng/lebron/wade and tons of other players are playing with so many injuries.

rose doesn't have the toughness to be great.

Rose will be gone in a few years....he was never a superstar.

The media needs to stop hyping him up.

And this idiot didnt want howard to come to chicago.

[tto827]

In 2015 I will pull this thread back up and you guys can realize what stupid comments you've made in here.

The dude isn't tough, look at the beatings he took night in and night going to the rim when healthy. He played with reckless abandon, sure it would be nice to see him back, and it has been a long 12 months for us Bulls fans, but if he doesn't feel comfortable, he doesn't feel comfortable. Not much you, I, or a doctor can say about it.

[PerfectGrape]

Rose is like Jordan, he has the killer instinct when the game is on the line. "All I wanna do is win" (after a safe rehab). There is a reason he is making $350 mil from bulls and adidas, dude is gonna be huge. Can't expect him to return now, just move on and wait til next season.

[lakerboy]

1000% agree. rose is a big time pussy. if lebron or kobe did this they would be shot. he is only doing this tosee what the bulls do in the offseason to help him. if they dont make big moves he will find a way out of town. his brother started all this shit.

[No coincidences]

I wish you would just stop posting. You clog up SBR and contribute nothing.

[rfr3sh]

Acl injuries need mental recovery too, his cuts won't be the same until he is confident in himself

[No coincidences]

This is a tough one.

Only Rose knows if he's really hurt.

Best point in the thread, and one that overrides everything else. Rose knows it. Bulls know it. No point in him coming back this late.

i played d1, yes its not nba but anyways....from my perspective...

his knee injury was BAD, acl, is a BAD injury.....

it happend on a freak non contact play....

im sure he thinks if that happend to me on a non contact play what would happen driving into birdman or tyson, etc...

its more of a mental thing. I recently had a knee injury, not even close to roses but still...i used to be a high flyer...now i rather bomb 3's and not take it in with a chance of getting injured....

plus....its not like rose coming in NOW would have him scoring 35ppg and dropping 15 dimes and leading the bulls on a huge playoff streak.

he knows, coach knows, most of the players know that this isnt their year. last year? sure, next year? maybe. but this year? no way

[Frisco]

He's soft

[Ratpack]

dude is overrated anyways lebron showed that when he guarded him in crunch time last year more of a 2 guard in a pgs body and he doesnt play any d which sucks cause thebs is a defensive minded coach

[Jgjk]

^^^^^^^^

wade and lebron guarded rose thoes games...

rose is really the only guy on the bulls who can create outta nothing...

[No coincidences]

Bunch of fat ass degenerate gamblers calling Rose "soft" and a "pussy."

LOL.

[GUMMO77]

This is a tough one.

Only Rose knows if he's really hurt.

Plus, it's too late for the team to gel with him anyway. They aren't beating Miami.

And he know's they have no chance at beating Miami this year, so I side with Rose. But if LeBron did the same thing, there'd be countless threads about him being a pussy-ass-bitch.

All in all, I hope Rose comes back 100% next year because those Heat/Bulls games were great.

[bubblebuttluv]

Bunch of fat ass degenerate gamblers calling Rose "soft" and a "pussy."

LOL.

So are you the fat ass degenerate gambler who is going to call Rose "Tough" and a man who is not acting like a "Coward/pussy"? Come on No Coin.


Will the real D-Rose please stand up? If he is even there anymore?

is that an opinion or a fact?
where did they say they would have sit out?
if they made it through the season, y would they want to sit out?

i would be embarrassed if i were rose ................
noah is out there hobbling around, giving everything hes got
while rose, the leader and franchise player; is chilling on the bench, its kinda sad

[jsmithj88]

gotta love it

deadbeats acting tough on the internet...it would be ok if they were even half the man Rose is.

yea well we are all derrick rose this year
cuz neither of us has player a single minute in the nba this season .........
