GO BULLS! Sponsored by DiGiorno

[Bulls#1]

We are definitely rolling with the homecourt advantage let's GO BULLS!

[Andrew]

So much for that.

[Bulls#1]

It was a shame that rose was injured and our championship hopes are doomed

[Andrew]

And so close to the end, with the game seemingly in hand. Can't catch a break this year with injuries.

[Bulls#1]

Rose wasn't even needed that time I don't know why coach Tom did that.

[Andrew]

A what-if that'll haunt us all until next season.

[Bulls#1]

Agreed people will say what-if Coach tom did not played Rose in that minute.

According to a reliable source, #DRose's injury is worse than a typical tear. His "career may be significantly altered." #UhOh #Bulls

"Expect him to be a more traditional PG." - Source close to the Bulls

"Only 8 players have come back to be All-Stars after suffering this type of tear." -Source close to #Bulls

What a punch in the gut.

And just to add insult to injury, they ran an ad during the Thunder/Mavericks game for Game 2, which will be shown here on Wednesday Aussie time, naturally featuring a lot of Derrick Rose highlights.

Damn I wish Rose can comeback to MVP game next season

[Andrew]

Fingers crossed, but it looks kind of bleak at the moment. All we can do is wait and see.

[Bulls#1]

You could expect though that this Bulls team without rose can still even reach the Finals.

[Andrew]

One could expect it I suppose, I personally don't. I suppose you never say never, but it seems highly unlikely to put it mildly.

[Bulls#1]

Well I expect them to reach the 2nd round and 50% for the ECF But I guess 10% for the Finals

[Axel]

A non contact injury is never good. I immediately thought career altering as soon as I saw it.

[Bulls#1]

I just wish Rose will still be good after the injury

[Nick]

Condolences to Bulls fans.

But most of all, condolences to NBA fans in general. If the injury is truly as bad as everybody is making out, then we've lost one of basketball's most athletic players. Obviously he will be back but reports sound pretty grim right now.

Right about now, the disbelief has faded, anger has subsided and were all wondering... why? Why. Why. Why Derrick, again? Derrick is more than an MVP to our team. He's our friend, our brother he inspires us to be the very best we can be, just by who he is and how hard he plays. That he has spent so much time this year hurt, was frustrating. Now that he is out for the rest of the season, well its just plain sad. No one is to blame; what happened, did. We send him our prayers, our love, our good wishes that he heals and comes back stronger, better, healthier than ever before.

Bulls fans. Now is not the time to ask why or to get bitter. Now is the time to refocus and ask "How are we going to win this Championship?" We have the best Team in the league. This season has proven, we are a TEAM and it has taken us ALL to have the best record. Lets focus on whats ahead. This is an incredible opportunity for All of Us to step up and make it happen. We're all gonna have to work harder and smarter. We are all gonna have to believe in ourselves. That we are more than the sum of our parts. We need YOU to believe with Us. We need You to believe for Us. We are going to keep going strong. One quarter, one game, one round at a time. Until its over. That's how we're gonna do it.

Its hard to put into words how I feel bad for D. Rose. My boy D.Rose may have been hurt with an ACL injury, but his inability to play basketball and lead his team in the Playoffs hurts him even more.

Rose' injury not only hurt the Bulls but the entire USA team, who set to defend their title in the upcoming 2012 Olympics.


Derrick Rose - injured
Dwight Howard - injured
Kobe Bryant - not 100%
Dwayne Wade - not 100%

Get well D. Rose my man! You've done your best, now its time for the rest of the Bulls to their part. GO BULLS!!~

[Bulls#1]

Many players from the USA Team are now injured that's so sad even though im not from the US and I am from the Philippines it still sad to not have challenge in the olympics with the now not 100% USA Team

[George7]

I only only hope that he will be the same player after his return. Screw the titles,screw the finals. Just don't let this injury ruin Rose's career...

I still have belief to this Bulls' team that they are going to fight and make other teams try really hard to knock them out of the playoffs. We'll see....

[Bulls#1]

I agree don't mind the finals and titles it doesn't matter if the cost is to Ruin Rose's Career

[uly]

whole playoffs he's out? .. i think the trainer has a big fault to these or his coach.. he should be resting when he already recovered from his previous injuries...

[Bulls#1]

Yup he is out for the rest of the playoffs

[uly]

too bad better luck next season.. i think its Lakers vs Miami.. hehe
