    Bulls beat writer K.C. Johnson reports that Derrick Rose's absence due to a strained hamstring "will likely extend to next week."

    Rose is a POS.

    Anyone else think this guy is a so called "athlete" is also a POS.

    You're never really 100% on many nights

    He will really play again the rest of his career if that is what he's looking for

    His future comes first. No, not basketball future but that of meetings and graduations. In the meantime got to collect those millions.

    I actually don't blame him for sitting; guy has to make sure he can attend business meetings when he retires.

    In other words, he won't play tonight. Bulls are off until Monday. I think the team is holding him out.

    Hinrich out tonight too, so that's a pretty big problem.

    The "team" has NO input or say so on what Derrick does or doesn't do. They have decided to coddle him and hope he comes out of it, and give the public a big smile through this excruciating torture. They have no other choice.

    Now Taj Gibson went down (landed on a foot), looks like a potentially bad high ankle sprain. He's had issues there before. Bulls can't stay/get healthy. Going to need Gasol back soon. Mirotic will get a lot of play.

    With so many guys down for Chicago you'd think he'd suit up and give it a go but no, guy is truly selfish. He's not injured. He's just Got a case of the mental going on. U can't count on this guy. Trade him for a hot dog

    I don't know why you stick up for Rose for? Guy is one pathetic human being. You can't read a person's character? You must be blind.

    Rose makes excuses.

    Kobe Bryant's career is 10X more efficient than Rose's. No comparison. Never will be.

    He played last night. Heard what thibs said...something like he got to go, time to play ball. Which leaves no question that Rose sitting out is not an injury thing. Get him, thibs!

    Thibs is right, Sooner or later he's gonna have to string some games together and not do this play a game sit a game. Once he plays 10 games in a row, he'll take off.

    But all this play a game sit 2 games isn't going to help him with the confidence that he's obviously lacking. Maybe it's not the confidence in his game (which looks fine to me) but it's confidence in his body.

    Thibs can get after him all he wants, but he knows that Rose will sit out every other game if that's whats needed for him to be good for playoffs. Thibs just encouraging him to get after it and convince himself that he's fine.

    Had success but you can still see he's not moving as well as preseason and the first couple games. Not at full speed.
