Thibs says Butler and Gibson close to 100%... Perhaps could play by this weekend.

Rose is "ahead of schedule". He just started doing non-contract portion of practice.

Butler and Taj are expected to return Friday or Saturday. Both went through full practices.

About fuckin time. I can't wait to see how Thib's handles the minutes for Taj and Niko, however. Niko to me has showed he's here to stay. If Taj goes right back to playing Taj heavy minutes over Niko...... I'm not sure what else to say at this point.

I think I'd actually like to see a double sub of Taj for Noah and Niko for Pau. That would spread the minutes around pretty good, imo.

You mean if Thibs goes back to playing Taj heavy minutes... I don't think Taj has a say in it.

Somehow I think that Thibs knows what he is doing and will try to put out the best combination of players that he has available. All this worry about "minutes" is ludicrous.

Rose on whether he's confident he'll play this season: "Oh yeah. I'm not worried about that. I don't have any pain."

So the delicate non-genius is ahead of schedule! Plus he's from the west side of Chicago...because I haven't been reminded of this in the last 20 minutes.

Back in practice probably. Perhaps the week after he goes through that he'll be back on the court? I'm just guessing.

He's been practicing all week but just not with contact. Once he goes through contact, he should be back quickly. When Butler and Taj started full contact practice, they were back within a couple of days.

If they allow contact before the end of this week, I expect him back 4/1 vs Milwaukee.. If he isn't cleared until next week for contact, it may be 4/3 or 4/5 before he plays. I feel playing 4/5 vs Cleveland he'll try to do too much :-\

Haha.

I'd actually rather see Rose play PG more than scoring first PG upon his return. He doesn't need to play like its 2010-11 anymore. The fact we had 3 other go-to-scorers should say as much at this point. I know Rose is drooling at the way Niko has performed in which it should open the floor more.
