No way he plays 3rd week of January, that's crazy.

I saw stories that said that but mid to end of Feb. is probably more realisticOriginally posted by CrossComment -
Bulls playing ok without him. They are fine with him not coming back until close to when the playoffs begin.Comment -
He won't be back until at least mid-February .[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

stay away from Rose until he's proven his worth.Comment -
if he is still available for the last week of January he is an auto pickup for me. But doubt he will be available that late.Comment -
Well I took him already I'm not waiting and taking chances. I think he will be a good producer pretty quickly after he gets back.Comment -
I like your approach here, EM. I also agree in thinking that he makes an immediate impact upon his return...Originally posted by EmpireMakerComment -
I would grab him now if he is available.....Comment -
def. pick up rose. chicago looked good against their beatdown of miami. imagine with rose in the picture. although heat not playing good basketball right now.Comment -
Maybe Bulls make a run when he comes back, I have a feeling and Chicago needs something good to happen in some sport after Bears debacle.Comment -
Lets just hope he can stay healthy this time.

The Bulls are 18-13 so far this year without Rose.
I don't know what their SOS has been like, but regardless, that's not too shabby of a start.
I thought they'd be around .500 at best at this point of the season...Comment -
He is going to want to prove how strong he is. Expect some high output games a week or two after he returns.Comment -
rose definetely wants to prove he is an asset to the team even though they have been playing decent ball. rose def. comes back and makes a statement. how soon i dunno .Comment -
Hes their best player so of courseComment -
He's been dunking in practice, February return in the making!Comment -
late Feb or March from what I've been reading..no need to rush back as long as the team is playing above .500 ball..Comment -
I think he will come back right around the All-Star game, probably right after.Comment -
The Bulls are sitting comfortably at 20-15 and only 4 games back in the East.
Crazy thing is, they are 10-5 on the road and 10-10 at home.
It will be interesting to see their record at the ASB.Comment -
Home record has got to improve.Comment -
anyone know when rose is due back ?Comment -
The Bulls are doing well so far without him...

They are talking about him coming back right around the All-Star game right before or right after.Comment -
The Bulls are playing strong basketball.
In my opinion, there's no need to rush Rose back until he's absolutely 100% healthy...Comment -
By all accounts he is progressing at or faster than the normal recovery rate, I don't think they are rushing him at all. I just think he is that close to coming back at full speed.Originally posted by ShortstopComment -
Who needs him when you've got Nate Robinson and Teague!Comment -
indeed bulls playin great ball, but with rose back they will become a power station.Comment -
When Rose comes back, Bulls are only team in East that can test Heat in a 7 game series.Comment -
I agree..assuming he's the same player as before the injury..Originally posted by Grits n' GravyComment -
hw will be playing limited minutes when he does returnComment -
always a good valueComment -
I agree.Originally posted by EmpireMaker
I'm just thinking that their thought process may be different if they were 16-23 instead of 23-16.Comment -
What is Bulls current odds for nba title? Or to make finals even.Comment -
Teams do tend to get desperate at times, fortunately for Rose and Bulls fans they don't need to.Originally posted by ShortstopComment
