Early word on Rose is initial tests suggest acl tear on right knee. MRI to confirm soon. This is bad.

I thought the eastern conference was suppose to be much better this yr, it's worse than has been in yrs...

Were only a 1 1/2 games out of first place in the atlantic

That's why its too soon to panic. Plenty of time for that later lol.

Rod had some serious hops but he was always more concerned with passing and saved his legs buy laying the ball up.

well judging from the looks of how it happen, he was just running trying to guard his man,it didn't involve no cutting or sudden mis directions..

He does play the game a bit reckless, but so did A I...I thought he would comeback with a much better jumper, but it's actually gotten worse

There was an article out last year about young players who suffered ACL tears and the numbers it had said that the players' jumper usually improves in the second year after the surgery.

Allen Iverson was more slick with it. He used the Change of speed game especially when they moved him to off guard. He also stopped trying to dunk it on cats too.

Westbrook needs to learn this too. Dude was dunking like a video game his first game back lol.

I feel bad for Rose but that's basketball and any player can go down anytime, minutes restriction wouldn't of helped him either as it won't help Amare or Kenyon. I always thought Rose relied to heavily on athleticism so injuries are going to be common for him.

Good luck getting Thibodeau to go along.

Yeah I know he is a hell of a coach. But franchise should really think hard about tanking they have a chance at the next in this draft.

Is it his other knee this time?

Yeah thought it was the right knee this time.

He probably has been over compensating with the good leg. He's going to have to re invent himself. Slow down
