Rose terrified to play

The team is not going to risk him in November if he's not 100% and they don't care what anyone thinks of it.

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

The guy is a loser.

[TheMoneyShot]

Rose is a POS.

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

[TwoWays]

Heard through the vine that Rose not playing tonight. He will look bouncy again next preseason

[jjgold]

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

i hope you arent hear in 3 years saying these same things. you do realize that rose doesnt care about the bulls right?

[TwoWays]

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

[lakerboy]

bulls probably cant believe they inherited this goof

[GUMMO77]

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

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

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 is not going to risk him in November if he's not 100% and they don't care what anyone thinks of it.

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.

[d2bets]

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.

[TheMoneyShot]

Kobe Bryant can take Rose on.

Kobe always played hurt.

Really? Didn't say he'd be back Christmas last year and then....never came back?

[TwoWays]

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

[TheMoneyShot]

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.

hahaha, this lame ass excuse again
dude hasnt played in like 5 years

Watching NHL right now

[Luckycharms2012]

Rose is saving himself for life after basketball....

[TwoWays]

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.

[jjgold]

I think he is probable tonight

[TwoWays]

Ok, it was thibs decision so I will give him a pass tonight. He tried.

[jjgold]

I guess will be Another three games

[d2bets]

Big game for Rose now after Thibs threw down the gauntlet a little...

[TwoWays]

Good game Rose. Way to put team first. It is all about good karma. Do the right thing and u will have good things happen to u

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

[TwoWays]

See rose playing consistently and all is good. Good job rose. Just don't do any on-air interviews and you'll be fine

[d2bets]

So where's all the Rose haters now? Rose getting it going. Keeps getting better and better. Starting to dominate again.

[GoBlue77]

go bulls! great seeing my man rose find his groove again.

[jjgold]

Bulls=Championship

Rose looks very sharp too
