He quit in game 5. You keep throwing up numbers from game 6 after he had already shown that he was uninterested in winning the series in prior games.

LOL...and you are on a message board being delusional.
How the hell do you know if they've moved on or not? You don't have a clue! Rose and his group are STILL at odds with the FO, where have you been?
You totally missed the point on Lebron...again
Culpable for what?.......Taking his time recovering from an ACL tear?
JR & the FO needed the allure of a Rose return to sell late season tickets & garner playoff revenue. It kept the fanbase interested in the product.
They played the emotional segment of the base like a violin. It worked so well that people like you are still bitter.
Your argument doesn't hold water because Gar stated a few weeks ago that Nate & Belli were signed to replace Rose last season. The Bulls FO never had intentions of Rose returning nor did they have any intentions of gunning for a championship last season.
TBH, I even got fooled for a little while because of the "cleared" leak. That was until I figured out what they were doing & Gar began taking photos laughing with Reggie Rose.
Dr. Cole, Rose, & several NBA players stated that the mental hurdle was the hardest part of returning from an ACL injury.
Now, you're being silly.
Dude, I don't have time to get into the back & forth.
Everyone that matters (Rose, JR, Thibs, GarPax, teammates) have moved on from last season. You're still on a message board being bitter.
Hilarious....you have plenty of time....you even went and linked a youtube video. Because you don't get the point.
If he was cleared to play, he should have played...period. And what is really sad is this crap..."they weren't going to beat the Heat anyways..." Oh great, what a bunch of friggin' Einsteins...been saying that for years...and now you use that as an excuse...
for the franchise player to sit on his ass and NOT play? Then why did Nate play when he was sick? Why did Taj and Noah play? They were in WORSE physical condition than Rose was.....why did Deng show up AGAINST doctor's orders? Give it a rest...you post videos explaining what I already stated, and that is Lebron essentially quit on his team (reading is fundamental)....my issue with your comments is that you can see Lebron, healthy quitting...though its obvious he gave some effort...then you want to pick out a certain game and give the point and time he quit on the team. However, you are totally oblivious to the idea of Rose's selfish actions and those of his "handlers" didn't show that he quit?
Lebron, Kobe both accused of quitting on their teams....when they suited up and played. But Rose made a wise decision, sitting there in a suit yelling instructions and refusing to play, though he was told a month earlier "you can play now"? Look at all the excuses he had? "I can't dunk off my left foot", "I can't beat an NBA double team"....bull....shit! You can drink the kool aid all day...not me dude. Too old and too smart for that.
Here is the original leak from the organization...

So please tell me WHEN did JR sign off on this "off the court" approach when Forman and Thibs were saying the same damn bullshit for weeks, even into the playoffs? It wasn't about tickets....they were selling out when Bryce Drew and Eddie Robinson were there years prior. But can you blame them if they want the star player to make his much anticipated, highly marketed return?
Its all about objectivity bruh...if I can state on this forum that Lebron, Kobe and Pippen have quit on their teams at different times....then yeah, I can say the same about Rose. Nothing to be bitter about. You are the one acting as if you were told for the first time there is no Santa Claus...not me. Its reality. Don't blame me.
