We don't know that. Dr cleared him to play=/ 100%

He also most likely will over compensate and stress other parts of his body...

D. Rose was 85% in the beginning of February. Doctors have said he is 100% for weeks. Every other superstar comes back somewhere between that time.

I understand everyone is different, but seeing Noah hobbling up and down the floor like some crazed hobo, and seriously contributing in the playoffs, is hard to take when your superstar is sitting by choice. The Bulls as a team are playing their hearts out. Is D. Rose a part of that, where is his heart?

After coming back from a huge deficit to that insane 3OT win, how can you not be rip roaring to get in the next game?

Geez, and I'm not even a Bulls fan.

I'm probably the biggest bulls and d rose fan there is. There are some rumors that it's mgmt choice to shut down rose and not rose's. In fact, this is pretty easy to believe that they knew he wouldn't play the whole time but said he might, or that he's day to day, just to hype it up and sell tickets at their ridiculous prices. No secret that the only regular season game that rose sat on the bench happened to be when season tickets for next year went on sale.

I understand all the hate against him because his teammates are all injured fighting out there, but at the same time he got injured by carrying this team for 2 years straight through injuries and what not. For once the bulls are playing team ball (boozer finally is playing well, Deng stepped up huge, etc.) Before they would just stand around and watch rose do things. At this point in the season, him not being confident with his leg and trying to play that way will hurt the bulls, they will just go back to let the MVP do everything. In Chicago, Rose is loved regardless. He lost probably some respect/love from a few fans sure, but this city will be on his side whether he comes back in round 2 or next year. Let just say Chicago has a soft spot for its hometown boy.

So happy to see the Lakers out.

[saber]

the enver nugget's bench reaction is priceless. CURRY = BEAST MODE 24/7

Golden State, making California proud, even in Los Angeles (f*ck you lolkers and boats )

[Rooster89]

So collins is gay. Good for him for coming out of the closet but honestly, why do we care about whether he is gay or not? These are professional athletes, I don't care too much about their personal life. Why is it a big deal? Is it because slowly but surely professional sports are turning in the WWF with storylines and drama and overactive evil commissioners? Like the way the world acted about Manti's GF just made me sad.

Anyway, One more win Chicago! then on to Miami!

Lebron-Heat Enuff said, finals run should be epic.

I was rooting for Denver. I'm a George Karl fan, but I have to admit the Nuggets were outplayed and outcoached. Even without Lee, the Warriors looked pretty damn good. They aren't getting by the Spurs though.

Probably the best explanation I've heard from a Bulls fan. Still hard to watch knowing a potential super weapon is sitting there.

Nets or Bulls game 7?

Warriors looked great the whole series basically.

Nets bulls is tough, so much depends on what players are playing for the Bulls. Last night was just one of those games where it seemed like the worst luck happened (how does one team have 4 people with the flu )

If Deng plays and everybody doesn't feel ill I would say Bulls have a small advantage, they are a good road team this season and can handle the home court "advantage" the nets have. They also need to stay out of foul trouble, esp boozer. Boozer is the most consistent offense the bulls have so they need him to score.

If hindrich plays, then I say Bulls have the for sure advantage. He's the difference maker out there. Rumor is though, he calf muscle is torn not strained, so if that's the case, hes out the rest of the playoffs. Should be a good game to watch for sure.

nets! some of bulls wins are fluke..

[Rooster89]

I didn't like Hinrich the first time he was on the bulls. my feelings haven't changed much. He would have been a decent point guard in the old NBA, before point guards became scoring guards of their own account.
