He said that he viewed Durant, Harden and Rose as the leaders of the team, so it's looking that way.

That gif is perfect.

I really hope he is back to 100%, and can stay there.

I'm sure he looks great. The only question is can he actually stay healthy for a full season.

The way he lands on one leg after dunking scares me.

He needs to try to land on both like Westbrook does.

How many damn guards are going to be on this team?

And how's Harden going to be a leader when he's busy calling everybody but him and KD "role players"?

That's what I was hinting at. I wasn't so sure that he was going to make the team, but I guess he will.

Hope he lasts through the season. Eastern Conference needs all the star power they can get.

I really hope so. Here in Chicago the thought is he will never be the same. The people I talk to are just hoping his career doesn't turn out like Brandon Roy

Well, they're right. He won't. You don't have major surgeries on both knees that were previously healthy, only play 49 games in 3 years, and come back the same.

His best bet is to improve his outside shooting and work on his floater so he can pick and choose when to use his athleticism rather than just going all out all the time.

Why would anyone believe he was near where he was until he proves that he is?

LOL @ you for thinking a coach saying something like this actually means anything.

Common sense will tell you D Rose won't be the player he was 2 years ago

I still say that. We'll see who gets the LOL at the end of the season.

ETA: Injury means I win.

I will never understand why so many people seem to be rooting for the guy to fail.

Plus the same people making the "he will get hurt again" jokes are probably the same idiots who goofed on him for not coming back sooner after his first knee injury.
