Derrick Rose out for season following successful knee surgery

[scottiepippen1994]

Wade still won three championships.

Yeah, with Pat Riley backing him up by giving him the Shaqs, Lebrons, Boshs, Allens, etc etc etc etc..............

 

[Scoot26]

True.......but

He had Shaq next to him for one of them, while Lebron & Bosh were next to him for the other two.

He's an extremely talented guy, but he's had some major help along the way.

I know, it was a devil's advocate comment. He still did the most in that 06 Finals against Dallas more so than Shaq. LeBron is pretty much responsible for the Heat's success.

and if Derrick comes back to the same kind of offensively Special person team around him, he will get HURT AGAIN...................and agan and again

Wade was just along for the ride IMO....

Yeah 06 he was the main reason they won, but Shaq was far more help than the rest of this Bulls roster combined. Throw in Alonzo Mourning, Antoine Walker and Gary Payton off the bench, solid role players in Jason Williams, Posey, and Haslem, that was a pretty good supporting cast. But no denying that Wade carried that team in the Finals. I think he averaged 30+ and no one else was even close to that.

Lebron gets most of the credit for the Heat's last 2 titles, but still, having him, Wade, and Bosh is just not even fair. Adding in Ray Allen to that...:dunno: Levels of talent we can only dream of having.

So nobody cared about the details. Just use this thread as an excuse(one of about 12 on the frontpage of the Bulls section now) to derail and talk about rebuilding(which I'll add, are basically the same people saying the same things). MMmkay.


BTW, the details. Rose's meniscus was repaired. Rose made the ultimate decision not to remove the meniscus after careful considerations with talking to his doctor(not the team doctor). It wasn't a clean tear, which is why his recovery is expected to take all season.

This decision was made by both the Bulls FO & D-Rose. Dr. Cole performed the surgery. He's the same guy that repaired Rose's ACL.

The surgery was performed by team physicians Brian Cole, who was part of the team who repaired Rose's left ACL, and Chuck Bush Joseph at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago

He's also the Bulls doctor & has been a spokesman of the FO for years. The article below is from 2009:

The Bulls got a lot of public-relations mileage out of a statement they released a week ago about Deng's condition. It was widely viewed as a fed-up team standing up to a pampered professional athlete.

"He has been restricted from high-level activity since [Feb. 28]," team physician Brian Cole was quoted as saying. "At this point, he will undergo 'active rest,' meaning that he will be encouraged to challenge himself physically, and if symptoms remain minimal, he will be allowed an expeditious return to play."

That the Bulls were going to encourage Deng to "challenge himself physically" was interpreted to mean: "Can you believe this guy? What a wimp."

I totally know what you mean.

By that same logic, I return here after recovering from a headache, and see your post whoring.
