re: Rose skips Bulls practice . . . Reports of a rift

So people want to risk the long term health of a 24 y/o MVP to appease some season ticket holders?? How short sighted is that? What if he reaggravates his knee and has to sit out part of next year? All for the viewing pleasure of a couple Chicagoans? Do bulls fans not remember life after MJ and before rose?? You've got a stud, don't risk ruining him for short term goals


And if anyone has torn their ACL, they know being physically healed his only half the battle. It really is a mind frick. By all accounts, d-rose is a good guy. I have no reason to not to trust him when he says he's not ready to play. But according to some guys on a message board who used to be really good at NBA hang time, they should drag this guy onto the court with a leash and make sure he plays, despite him telling you he's not ready. Brilliant.
