    Bulls playing ok without him. They are fine with him not coming back until close to when the playoffs begin.

    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.

    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.

    I like your approach here, EM. I also agree in thinking that he makes an immediate impact upon his return...

    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.

    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...

    He is going to want to prove how strong he is. Expect some high output games a week or two after he returns.

    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..

    I think he will come back right around the All-Star game, probably right after.

    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.

    They are talking about him coming back right around the All-Star game right before or right after.

    The Bulls are playing strong basketball.

    In my opinion, there's no need to rush Rose back until he's absolutely 100% healthy...

    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.

    When Rose comes back, Bulls are only team in East that can test Heat in a 7 game series.

    I agree.

    I'm just thinking that their thought process may be different if they were 16-23 instead of 23-16.

    Teams do tend to get desperate at times, fortunately for Rose and Bulls fans they don't need to.
