Get on the fucking court already!

Derrick Rose unsure of return

Updated: March 21, 2013, 3:44 PM ETBy Nick Friedell | ESPNChicago.com

DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose said Thursday he still doesn't have a return date in mind, despite the fact less than a month remains in the regular season.

"It could be tomorrow and I feel like I could play the next game," said Rose, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during the playoffs last year. "Nobody knows but God."

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose was most likely out for Thursday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Rose said in a February interview with USA Today that he was in the "high 80s" as far as being back to 100 percent healthy, but he did not want to put a percentage on his health after Thursday's shootaround.

"I really don't know right now," Rose said. "I don't want to place no percentage on it, but I just know that I'm close and I'm taking every day serious and just becoming a professional."

Rose, 24, reiterated that he had no date in mind after which he would consider it too late to come back this season. He tore his left ACL on April 28 and underwent surgery on May 12.

"Not at all," he said. "I feel like when I'm ready to come back I'll be ready no matter what it is. ... Whenever I'm ready, I'm going to be out there."

Rose said that he can feel the explosion coming back into his game.

"It's coming," he said. "I'm not panicking or anything. If anything, I think I'm going to be a better player.



I'm not panicking or anything. If anything, I think I'm going to be a better player. I'm just taking my time. I'm just being patient, doing all the right things and really eating right and getting rest.


-- Derrick Rose

"I'm just taking my time. I'm just being patient, doing all the right things and really eating right and getting rest."

Rose does believe that he has gotten stronger with the constant rehab he has been doing over the past 10 months since his surgery.

"I'm way stronger," Rose said. "Way stronger. I'm just seeing how I'm going to put that in my game. I don't know yet. But when we're playing 5-on-5, just trying to pick the right spots and really just trying to find out how strong I am."

Rose also acknowledged that he is still fighting through the same general soreness and pain that he has been dealing with throughout the process.

"It's still about the same," he said. "Where when you warm up a little bit [the knee] will be loose then the activity will pick up then it will get back sore. [I'm] just fighting through that."

Rose said his support staff, including his teammates, has played a huge role in overcoming the mental obstacles.

"It's tough, definitely challenging, but having my teammates behind me and my team behind me, with [agent] B.J. [Armstrong], my brother [Reggie] and my family, they made everything smooth," Rose said. "I'm just trying to ride this wave, and hopefully I'll be out there.


"It's big, man. When I've got my teammates behind me and they see how hard I'm pushing in practice and I'm seeing how hard their fighting for me on the court, it makes me want to go harder. It makes me want to be out there more, but you've got to look at the big picture."

He said he wants to return, but he framed it in a larger context.

"[I want to return] bad," he said. "But knowing my health is the biggest key, where I'm only 24 years old, I've got the whole future in front of me. I'm just trying to take my time."

Although some point to other athletes who have returned from ACL surgery in a shorter amount of time and wonder if Rose has suffered a setback, Rose said that's not the case.

"Not at all," he said. "It's just getting used to -- my activity picked up a little bit, so just getting used to running, playing 5-on-5. Just doing everything like how I used to do it."

The Bulls entered action Thursday sixth in the Eastern Conference.

It's like he is shocked that his body isnt feeling 100% and isnt doing exactly what he wants it to. Imagine what he's going to be like in his late 20s/early 30s. He'll miss half the season each year because of soreness.

And he can blow the 'nobody knows but god' right out of his ass. He fucking knows when. He's scared shitless and with good reason. He knows his whole game was athleticism and now a chunk of that is gone. Fuck this guy right in his ear.

I have it under reasonable authority that God sits around all day deciding things like when Derrick Rose is going to play. This world is clearly evident that God is one hell of a benevolent micromanager.

Time travelers also know, btw.

It is a total disgrace that with Hinrich out this pussy doesn't get his sorry ass on the court. Even Steve Kerr on TNT says Rose owes it to his teammates to get out there and play.

And with D Wade having knee issues and with Westbrook done for the season, the Bulls with Rose playing could possibly challenge for a title.

But no, poor little Derrick still is waiting to hear from a higher power to grant him permission to play.

Absolutely pathetic.

Serious question, are you ever happy about anything? I don't think I have ever seen a positive post from you. Its unhealthy.

Happy about guys like Noah out there competing and giving everything they have. Happy about many things but I have no respect for people who lack the courage and the guts to compete.

I go back to 1977 in Chicago sports and had the privilege of watching warriors like Walter Payton and Michael Jordan compete every play and every game like it was their last. They asked for and gave no quarter.

Guys like D Rose make me sick.

Agree. I dont know how anyone with one ounce of competitive spirit can sit there and watch his teammates bust their fucking ass along with being hurt and you dont want to go unless you're 110%. Absolute horeshit. We saw what happened with Cutler and that was legit.For some reason this vagina gets a pass. Fuck Reggie Rose, Addidias , BJ, and yes Derrick himself.

Actually Brogue, I don't really think Rose is getting a pass from the majority of fans. There are still a few apologists like Mully, but on the whole he's rightfully taking a lot of criticism.

It really is to bad. The guy owned Chicago and now it's going to take him leading the Bulls to at minimum the Finals before he can regain the status he has pissed away.

"The Return".

Give me a fucking break.

For some reason, the hue and cry doesnt seem nearly as bad as it was for Cutler. Or maybe Im not listening often enough. Whats everyone on Twitter saying? ( legit question)

Kind of the same thing.

Questioning his heart and TWTW.

Cutler was cut to shreds. Rose has gotten criticism but it's been measured. But when even the Steve Kerr's of the world are questioning his guts, it speaks volumes.

Can you imagine the spark it would give the team for him to come back even in 15-20 minute spurts?

Just a fucking shame.

And down right shameful IMHO.

Cutler had a ton of apologists on this board and elsewhere. At this point I don't really see many people supporting Rose. He was given the benefit of the doubt initially because of the type of player and person he was. Some people didn't give Cutler that for the very same reason.

That is true.

Cutler doesn't invite much fan appeal given his personality type. If he wins, great. That is what he is supposed to do. If he loses, he is excoriated because he basically is an ass.

Tonight would have been the perfect night for Rose to return in spot duty.

But hey, when you have hundreds of millions of dollars guaranteed in future income, who gives a shit right?

It's all about Derrick.

Sad.

Rose has to come back if the Bulls make it to the next round against the Heat.

1st round vs Nets? Lotsa other games going on, limited national interest in Rose and the Bulls.

Bulls vs Heat in round 2, there'll be only 2 games a night and the talking heads on ESPN and TNT and on national sports talk radio shows will start laying into Rose non-stop. And it's the Heat.

During the national broadcast of last night's Bulls Game 5 clunker vs. the Nets, Turner Sports' lead analyst Steve Kerr told his partner Marv Albert and viewers watching that Derrick owes it to his teammates to get out there and play if he's healthy. Too bad Kerr's comments appear to have fallen on deaf ears.

Kobe will play in the first game of next year and Rose won't. Watch.

IF the Bulls get eliminated from the playoffs,I'll be waiting for the interview from the first player that gets released from the team. I'm sure the "Rose Situation" will have a whole new light put on it when somebody finally speaks out.

Has anyone here that talks to god, actually asked him to allow Rose to come back? Seems simple, but wanted to make sure this was being done. The Bulls need him.
