Hey Andrew, y'all are starting to sound like Knick fans. I never thought Dolan's incompetence could be matched.

Agreed.
On a brighter note, Markkanen poured in fifteen points in the fourth.

Let's see what the attendance numbers are this year for the Bulls. You've got fans funding a sign against the management lol
Happy for Rose and so should you guys. I'm done with and over the drama. Hope he kicks ass except when he plays against the Bulls

one more time to dip in the that deadpool of the rose injury- both sides can be blamed. i don't enjoy defending management but a few things to keep in mind-
remember rose was medically cleared to play by the doctor who did his surgeries but it was Rose who was going by his own schedule. how about the reports of Rose just killing it during practices when he was medically cleared to play but was still sitting out when the bulls were in the playoffs (while nate robinson was throwing up in the garbage during timeouts and butler playing entire games).
or Rose blew out his knee on year 1 of the "new" max contract. the team was hamstrung in making a significant move while they waited for Rose to come back and when he came back he got hurt again and than again waited.
man, i'm glad its over. it was the right decision to let him go. last year i was somewhat bitter and happy that problem was someone else's to deal with. now i guess time heals and want him to stay healthy and kick ass.

air gordon wrote:Was Rose being cleared a “leak”? define leak. the media was asking everyday during the "rose watch". IIRC the physician who performed the surgery had given a timeline for recovery and gave updates during Rose’s rehab. The information he provided was corroborated by several sports medicine people outside the organization.
I remember hearing the same thing over and over again- structurally he is healthy. Part of completing the rehab process is to go out there and play. Even with that information BOTH Thibs and management SUPPORTED Rose’s decision to have his own timeline throughout the entire saga.
Derrick Rose's doctor has cleared the Chicago Bulls' star to play, a team source said
The anti-Derrick Rose sentiment in Chicago started when someone inside the Bulls organization leaked that he had been medically cleared to play less than a year after his ACL injury. Rose’s decision not to take the court created a backlash the former MVP has never been able to overcome, even in his own hometown.
Rose played through a plethora of maladies. Every time, the team doctors cleared him to play. Every time, he got re-injured, or discomfort with one body part resulted in an injury to another body part. He was never comfortable in 2011-12, but he played, because the Bulls told him he could play...Back in 2009 the Bulls declared in February that one of Deng's injuries was shrug-worthy enough that the forward should "challenge himself physically" in treatment so he could get back on the court...Deng didn't feel comfortable, so his agent arranged for an outside opinion. And suddenly that day-to-day injury the Bulls couldn't believe would keep Deng out of action turned into a stress fracture serious enough to require months of rest to heal...The Bulls said Deng wasn't really injured, and told him to play. A different doctor -- the correct doctor, in this case -- told Deng he was really injured, and that he shouldn't run, jump or cut on his leg for four months.

air gordon wrote:In all honestly in landing Rose they really saved the organization. It was a nice rebuild Pax put together after the mess Krause built. They were a middling organization but lucking into the 1st pick put the franchise in relevant/contention mode.
air gordon wrote:I understand your points of your previous post but I don’t see why management would want to their put unicorn (again- newly signed on a max contract) at risk and go through another PR nightmare by leaking the information.
a team source can be anybody within the organization- from the towel boy to the players. But hey i get it, Gar indeed is a snake and doesn’t do any favors for himself.

And so, the dysfunction continues...

air gordon wrote:what a bizarre situation. is this an unprecedented occurrence? Ports may return from suspension before Niko comes back thus taking his spot in the rotation. this could be very weird if both remain on the team
and wouldn't having BELL on the roster be useful now??
