He needs to play and help the team win.

Period.

It's all about victories and if he can give them 10-15 minutes or more (which he easily can) then his pussy ass needs to be on the court.

And not in Game 3.

How about game 2 muscle memory only God knows jackass???

Yeah I'm starting to believe that Deng's "meningitis" and Hinrich's "bruised calf" is all part of adidas's plan to orchestrate a viral hero turn for Derrick Rose and his brand new adidas brand basketball shoes!

If the Bulls won a championship with Rose coming back this late in the game, I think you'd have to put an asterisk next to it. If Lebron's title last year (undeservedly) gets an asterisk from people, then a Rose championship this year would have to as well.

I don't think you can bring him back now, and he should have just been declared out with about a week left in the season. You can't just throw the guy out there in a playoff game after having a year off. It will be a disaster.

To answer the question: Yes. I also would.

No. He would be acknowledging his mistake since clearly nothing happened in the past week to change things.

It would be MUCH better than him coming back next year. At least it would show some heart.

acknowledging his mistake? No, he's capitalizing on a moment. Staged, and yet another nail in the coffin of "Derrick's a nice, unassuming young man".

Id be fine with him coming back now

The damage is already done to his reputation, but the thread title is if you would hate him even more.

If you hate him for NOT playing, why would you hate him more for playing?

I won't hate him more.

I don't hate him now and I completely understand the year off plan. That said, I'd be excited (just like everyone else) if he came back for game 3.

It would certainly feel staged and produced. Think worse of him? No.

Because of this episode he will always be a player I'll immensely enjoy to watch play basketball, but he will never be considered one of my favorite athletes nor will I spend any money to support his brand in any way.

Yes, if he sucks.

Stop making me feel bad for being mad at Derrick. And stop doing that thing you do where you don't do what everybody else does. Knock that shit off.

You're pushing pretty hard on that.

I think a lot of people have legitimate sour feelings that wont go away. Remember, Pippen won 3 more titles after the 1.8 thing and that is still brought up

Derrick Rose is a piece of shit until he returns and is as good or better than he was before, at which time he's a lovely person again.

Completely irrational and self-serving, but that's just me.

The thoughts only go away if he wins a title, just like Lebron and all the people who suddenly decided he wasn't a sad human being because he won.

It's going to be a lot easier to forgive Derrick if you can't point to a specific reason why the Bulls lost because he chose to sit out.

Yeah, and it's very silly that it's even brought up. What Rose is doing is far worse than what Scottie did in that one game, where he was actually playing his ass off up to that point.

You really don't think the UC will erupt when his name is announced?

Not silly at all. That was a pathetic self serving move that screwed over the team.

Being mad is one thing. Refusing to enter the game is unforgiveable.

Still worse than Derrick

We'll never agree on this issue then. That's fine.

Sure it will. Im not saying he'll get booed out of the stadium but some people are acting like this will all be forgotten after one good game. I disagree.

Oh and btw, from this point on every time Derrick misses a game for any reason, people will question it and bring this up

As usual, hitting people with truth. I would forget my fake hate in 2 seconds and be very excited.

1.8 = Not that big of a deal

Derrick not being ready = not that big of a deal


We will all celebrate his return. And rightfully so. I very much want to see a Derrick Rose that has worked all of the mental kinks out...

There is no defending what Pippen did

That's your opinion and that's fine but to project that onto everyone else is wrong.

Were talking about 1.8 (and it is still frequently mentioned when Pippen comes up) 19 years later, I think its kind of a big deal

Saw them open for Petty back in '74.

There was no reason not to go to Pippen for that last play, with the game he was having up to that point. Yes, it was selfish of him to ask to sit, but I don't fault him for being pissed about the play being drawn up for Kukoc.
