IGT Game 1: Bulls vs. Sixers 4/28/12 12:00 p.m. CT

[Popinski Soda]

Well that's a big 'ole sack of boners. Why was he out there anyway?

 

[Axl Rose]

sighs

Rose did something to his knee. Had to be helped off the court. If it's anything serious we're screwed. We can probably get to the ECF without him, but against the Heat we won't stand a chance if he's not healthy.

They were doing knee tests and was helped out. I hate when people say these kind of things but i kind of have to...its serious.

 

[Uman85]

This team beat Miami without Derrick Rose, and with Rose's worst output ever.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy without him, I'm saying its realistic the Bulls can win without Rose.

Short-term, I agree. Long-term, I highly doubt this team can win in a 7-game series without a healthy Rose.

If this is serious then we are fucked. If this is not serious then this will do great damage to Rose's confidence. And if this is serious Thibs has great responsibility for this.

Thibs just lost COY in my book. Fool.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

Rose looked like he was in some pain.

But if there is any good sign, it is that he was able to walk off the court.

I hope all he did was hyper extend his knee.
If so, he will be back by next round.

It was only a 12 pt game every coach in the league would of still had Rose in especially in the playoffs it isnt his fault injuries is part of sports they happen cant fault anyone.

[Uman85]

There's NO excuse for the starters to be on the floor with less than two minutes remaining in a PLAYOFF game and a double digit lead. I really thought Thibs knew that.

 

[Bear06]

Heat fans are licking their chops after seeing Rose getting injured fucking bastards.

He was being helped off by two people!

Not going to happen without Rose in the game.

For as much as you jump down everyone else's throats here for not supporting the Bulls, what the hell is this?

You tell people to shut up when they said it's POSSIBLE the Bulls wouldn't win in the playoffs.

If Rose is done for the season, the Bulls have to go on without him.

I believe the Bulls can do it without Rose.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

I'm concerned that this may **** up Roses confidence when he returns.....he may start to hesitate to go to the hole with fear of getting injured again.

Nope, Thibs thinks teams can come back from 20 down in less than 2 minutes.

14 point game with 2 minutes remaining. He should have all the starters in the bench. Especially Rose and Deng.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

He was being helped off by two people!

I know, but at least he was able to get on his feet....and of course he was helped off whether its serious or not......

exactly :smh:

 

[Scoot26]

Oh well..Bulls can win this round without Rose. But they aren't going any further. Also, I'm just going to assume Rose will be injured in any game he plays...so I'm putting all my stock into next year now.
