There is nothing wrong with this guy. The bulls are doing this to rest him for the playoffs. Nba should really wake up and clamp down on all these bullshit injuries. Rose is perfectly healthy.

What does it matter if they just keep beating playoff teams w/out himComment -
Why play him when they can still win by 10?
Chicago is a covering machine. I quit betting against them a year ago.Comment -
That's not the point. People pay big $$ to watch the stars play. Teams who do this shit should be fined huge $$( like at least a million per game).Originally posted by BigDofBA
Bulls think it will help them beat the heat lmao.Comment -
U really think he needs rest? The dude is young as hellComment -
you really think Rose is bullshitting us? surely he wants to play every minute he canComment -
The Bulls are pretty damn good. I always get into arguments with people around here about how I think they are every bit as good as my Thunder.Originally posted by lakerboy
As for resting their stars, teams do it all the time. It's not like you paid money to watch Rose play tonight. I'm not sure why you're so pissed.
How is there anyway to know how hurt Rose is? He is young. I doubt he needs much rest.Comment -
When he plays every playoff game the bulls can say " thank goodness we rested him". Lol.
Why can't people see he isn't hurt? Its a short year people. Wake up.
Bigdofba the bulls are better than okc. Okc won't even be in the final. Chi would beat them in a 7 game series. Spurs will win the west.Comment -
LB I completely agree 100%. I've been saying this for weeks and now its becoming blatantly obvious.Comment -
So LB you think MIA wins it all?Comment -
Thanks for the pts broComment -
Most likely. Will be a sad day for sports but its bound to happen. Lebron has to beat the spurs to come full circle.Originally posted by bryant81Comment -

I totally agree. I thinks it will be Thunder/Spurs and Bulls/Heat.
Heat will then beat the Spurs in 6.
It wouldn't surprise me to see OKC struggle in the second round either.
I hope I am wrong but I still think my Thunder are way too you.
Our four best players are all 23 or younger. That's ridiculous. I don't think people realize how young we are.Comment -

Thibs is saying "Go ahead and play Lebron, Wade and Bosh 40 minutes a game and have them run out of gas in the ECF" My stars are good to goComment -
Rose will fukk up all 3 Lebron wade and bosh this yearComment -
I was thinking the same thing about Hamilton also.Comment -
chicago bulls 16-8 ATS on the roadComment -
I went to bulls heat and also saw Lucas score 25 against wiz. Got my moneys worth on both games. But I understand, whole world got rose jerseys onComment -
This is a ridiculous comment. Rose injured his groin in the Knicks game after he fell awkwardly after being blocked from behind on a layup shot to the basket. He had trouble finishing the game and has been unable to run ever since.Originally posted by lakerboy
In Chicago, Thibs gets nothing but grief for pushing his guys too hard and making him play too many minutes. Believe me, this guy will run Rose into the ground when he's healthy and playing. If Rose was healthy, he would be playing.
In addition, Rose himself is well-respected throughout the league and notoriously known for playing through injuries and wanting to play as much as possible. There is no way in the world Rose would have let the team hold him out against Miami and Philly in big mathcups, unless he was unable to run or play at 100%. This is especially true of that Heat game, against whom the Bulls have an intense rivalry and Rose has personal competitive reasons for playing against Wade and Lebron. There is true bad blood there from my understanding through one of the producers I know of local sports radio talk station - Rose genuinely dislikes Lebron and Wade because of their flashy attitudes among other things. I just don't see Rose volunatily sitting in that game unless he was hurt.
Finally, KC Johnson from the Chicago Tribune and one of the best and most trusted experts on the Bulls, has been all over this story from day 1 and has confirmed Rose's injury.
Personally, I think you are way off with your comment. Take a look at the video against the Knicks when he tweaked that groin...you can see him come down awkardly.Comment -
<---Rose playing.
<---Rose now.
Could he play? Probably, but why push him? Team is still winning, so the fans are getting what they want. I think they are getting their monies worth.Comment -
I agree aboutu the part of not pushing it. What's the point in rushing him back from a groin injury that, if it's aggravated, could leave him with torn groin and out the rest of the season. I am relieved the Bulls and Rose are approaching this conservatively. Plus, now they are predicting he will miss a few more games because he still can't run. He has been lifting weights to try in shape, but is losing his cardio because of the groin and are now going to have to work him back slowly into game shape once he does return.
The idea that Rose and Bulls are "bullshitting" us all about this and faking this injury is one of the most preposterous assertions I have read in awhile.Comment -

I can see this being the case, Bulls need to learn to win without him also, making the team stronger. Lucas has filled in nicely with Watson out, their just getting more and more experience with Rose.Comment -
The only smart person in this thread is Love The Action. The rest of you are fuking retards.
If you knew anything about Rose and Thibs, you wouldn't say he's sitting out even though he can play.Comment -
Guys like you and LTA are such suckers. Maybe Lakerboy went a little overboard but really he didn't. Every player has little nicks and bruises and plays through them on a nightly basis. If you really don't think that Rose can play then you're just being naive.Originally posted by chantrain
This is about the playoffs for Chicago. Even if he plays against Miami the other night, there's really nothing to gain. If they beat the Heat then it's not that big of a deal because it wouldn't be the first time. If they lose, it's just a hit to their confidence. So what happens? They go out and play over their heads without Rose in a game that really means nothing to Miami.Comment -
I agree they're being extra precautious by keeping him out, but at the same time I don't doubt that Rose is actually injured.Comment -
He's injured. He's not 100%. There's no reason to play him less than 100%. There's no point to this entire thread because it makes no sense. LB was acting like there was no injury. His quote was "there is nothing wrong with the guy." The fact is that he has a strained groin and can't run and LB is wholly incorrect in his assessment. Why would they put a superstar out there less than 100%, especially with something like a strain which could easily turn into a tear. It's nonsensical to suggest otherwise.Originally posted by t-wizzle
There's not one team in the league that would throw their superstar out on the court with a strained groin in the regular season. Anyone who believes otherwise is the real sucker.Comment -
I disagree, its not like they have run away with this thing. The bulls know that if the heat have home court over them they will lose. They wouldnt just rest their star player in a short season with a close race for the 1 seed. I seriously hope this is a troll thread because as Love the Action said this thread makes no sense.Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
The NBA should force coaches to put all of their players into the game?

if it were the playoffs he'd be playing.... groin injuries are no fun thing tho.....Comment -
The news out of Chicago is that the Rose injury is worse than first anticipated. People "in the know" are saying he might not be back in time for the playoffs. One of my friends is a producer for one of the biggest sports talk radio stations in Chicago and his contact with the team says the injury is 100% legit and the stuff about him not being able to run is true. The Bulls only have 8 games left and even if his groin is good enough to play by the playoffs, he will be out of shape and unable to play big minutes. So even if he comes back for the playoffs -- which is a big "if" now -- he may be limited to 20 minutes or less.
A lot of the newspaper reporters are looking into the injury much more closely now and you will start to see more stories leaking out here and there. Based on all this, the Bulls could be in trouble.Comment -
I'm pretty sure Rose was banged up all year.Comment
