Rose back in 2 weeks
Management is counting on a new coach to get the most out of an experienced roster. You want to beat every team at their healthiest.
[Follow Dunks Don’t Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]. What’s the key to having two alpha dogs in the Bulls backcourt?
In his first All-Star campaign, Rose missed only four games due to a sprained wrist. We’ve seen how that story plays out. They were 27th in average margin (a deficit of 3.0 per game), 28th in total rebounds (40.6), and last on the offensive boards (8.7). Losing Rose wouldn’t be detrimental to the Bulls’ chances of success as they have played without him for long stretches in the past and done very well.
Rose told reporters at Monday’s Bulls media day that the allegation is false.
Aschburner began the article with a snapshot of Chicago’s relationship with Rose at the moment. They famously ended Miami’s 27-game winning streak in 2013. That type of ball-stopping action will not fly this year. Because that front office mined for the same character traits on the squad’s draft pick-heavy team – gutty, loath to complain – no player raised a public peep.
This was all too familiar for the old Bulls coach. Rose was coming off a second knee surgery, this time for a torn meniscus, one that would require surgery again midseason. Referees on the court will still be in charge of requesting reviews, but the officials in the replay center will take over administration of specific calls to help preserve the flow of games.
He will undergo surgery Wednesday, and it’s unclear when he’ll return to the team.
Fred Hoiberg brings the blue skies. “I don’t anticipate that in his case this will happen”, says Hoiberg in a report from ESPN. After the procedure, a timetable for return to play will be determined.
His season ended after tearing his ACL April 29. “I think if it was the other way around, it wouldn’t be that way, but it’s just my honest opinion about it, and I just feel like me and Jimmy never had a feud”. But that’s still two years away and completely out of his control. And can he consistently perform at an elite level?This teams in good spirits, Joakim Noah said.
The Bulls are already without Mike Dunleavy Jnr for at least another two months following back surgery last week. “But we’ll evaluate that as we continue to get more information”.
I’m not sure what’s going to happen with Derrick Rose, but I do know that the Bulls’ championship window just got a little bit smaller with this recent news concerning their mercurial, high salary point guard.
