why??

Right hamstring tendenitis

 

[JosMin]

Can't wait to watch this utter disappointment. I mean, storied basketball franchise. I mean... a team that was competitive for a decade that I still refuse to give up on because I cannnnnnnnnn't let gooooooooooo.

 

[Axl Rose]

i guess this is Roses career now

any slight soreness he can just say "nah, im good on playing tonight"

good thing the season is in the dumps anyway...still infuriating though

i wouldn't sign Rose to an extension idc how well he plays

 

[RoseMVP1]

Every time there's a prime time game, the announcers always ride Gasol and talk about how under valued and underrated he is. Really annoying.

It's annoying that he misses games, but say he continues to get better, beasts in the playoffs, and then plays 70+ games next season at the same or better level, it'd be very difficult to just let him walk. Unless you decide to trade him. Which the FO would never do.

 

[Naptastic]

Nice effort from the bulls. Taj is picking up the slack nicely.

 

[Crystallas]

This is turning out to be a really good game.

 

[Enasic]

I like Brooks....but it sucks he has to play.

 

[FireFox]

Dougie McBuckets!!!!!

 

[RoseMVP1]

I'm surprised we won that. Doug McDermott has been playing well so hopefully that holds. For a team that has talent like the Wizards, they sure do suck.

 

[clonetrooper264]

In Rose's defense, this is probably the healthiest he's been in 4 years so game shape is something he hasn't had for 5 years...the body will naturally be sore or whatever. They're likely just being super cautious because for all we know he's pushed through this in the past and injured himself in the process.

That aside, we're finally starting to see a glimpse of Dougie McBuckets...hope he keeps it up.

 

[Troy23]

Dougie McBuckets!!!!!

Nah ah, Dougie McDUNKS!

You mean instead of playing Rose 40 and burning him out in order to have the best regular season record only to limp into the playoffs? You mean to actually play McD and let him gain confidence, which is what we're seeing, so he can actually be a weapon in the playoffs? Where have I heard that before?

It might be annoying to some in here but it's the truth. Btw those two dunks from Doug were pretty impressive. Didn't know he had that in him. I think he might even be a better dunker than Rose. Hopefully he keeps up the good form he's been in the last couple of games.

For goodness sake, relax man.

Rose is doing great this season, especially once he got past his early season vision issues. The FO/coaching staff is simply doing their job by holding him out of games from time to time. The guy has had three knee surgeries, so they are just being cautious. No big deal.

theres no burning out of Derrick..he hasn't played in 3 days and is only averaging 32 minutes a game

if this was LeBron yall would be calling him a pussy and before you say "well Bron doesn't have the injury history" well if Derrick is at risk of serious injury every time he gets a cramp then why would we sign him to a ridiculous extension?

anyway on the bright/positive side of things its great to see this team finally playing together. i can only hope when Butler comes back he buys in...they probably still wont be a contender but alteast they'll be watchable

 

[clonetrooper264]

I'm cool with Derrick sitting out a game if it means no nagging or lingering injuries. This is likely stuff he played through in the past that led to persisting injuries. And again, this is the healthiest he's been in a long time, and arguably this is the best he's looked in a long time as well. Let's not crucify him for being cautious.
