He didn't even try to come back and play a real game even 10-15min, although he's been cleared by doctors and Thibs said he looks good.

I think the real reason he didn't come back is for 2 reasons....


1. He's scared to injure his knee again

2. He's having a hard time realizing he may have to change his game... still wants to tumble and sommersault down the lane then torque/catapult off the court into the air. Guys who are athletically gifted have a hard time playing this game when that part of their game is taken from them. Big up to BustBrick knowing how to mix them together fairly decent although he could tone it down a little more. If I were Rose's teammate, I'd be pretty disappointed in him probably wouldn't talk to him at all. Brooklyn probably takes this series fairly easy as the Bulls look like a deflated team and D-Will is playing like a Top 5 player right now.

Has anyone ever thought that Rose doesn't want to play in his hometown anymore ?

MOst insurance can pay up to 80% of a salary if a player sits 1 year.

He is a 100million dollor investment. They made the playoffs and perhaps he can advance them one more round if he was in great shape.

Use his return to sell season tix for next year. Bulls do very well at the gate.

there was little incentive for them to play him this year. their bench is crap and they still made playoffs. If Noah really can't go, then what is their upside?

Or, if you can't explain it there must be a sinister plot.

It's ridiculous when Noah is out there with severe plantar fascitis after being driven into the ground all season, Lou Deng has played ridiculous minutes all season, and Taj Gibson is playing through injury, meanwhile Rose has hasn't bothered to play a single minute despite being cleared months ago. Those other bulls player must be getting resentful by now- why do they have to battle through everything while Rose gets a pass because he might not look fantastic?

I think the insurance money is a huge part of it. Also, Noah needs to sit for awhile and maybe out for the playoffs. He was barely able to jog at the start of the second half. Guys seem to have different time tables for recovering from plantar fascia but even Lawson took about three weeks. The Bulls will have lost to the Nets without Noah by then and if he isn't able to play versus the Heat I doubt the Bulls have a chance even with a healthy rose.

Lakers bench non existent. I think is cursed.
SA bench just extended the lead from 4 pts to 12 pts. D12 with some careless fouls.

Duncan and Ginobli are just amazing for their age.

People here give him crap because he plays for the Nets. He is a good basketball player and if he works on his game he has the opportunity to be dominant.

He is really good. He should have been the Knicks pick in the Gallo draft. I am pretty sure that at the time I didn't think he was the right pick but I didn't think Gallo was either. Bropez, Jennings, Chandler and Lee as teammates heading into the summer of 2010. I wonder if Walsh would have handled things differently.

I agree that would be a pretty sick young core with good value to have
Could also put Holiday/Lawson in there for Jennings as well


I always thought Wilson Chandler is a better fit than Gallo with his versatility/DEF
He was a great steal from Isiah with David Lee

D'Antoni calling a time out with 39 seconds left? His teams don't come out of time outs well and this game is over.

Are the Heat still resting players. I just got back home and it was only a 2 point lead to begin the 2nd.

say what you want about Jennings but so far he's backing up his words.

Wow. I had read some articles that the Lakers would amnesty Metta. Now there is speculation that they will amnesty Pau.
Pau Gasol on the other hand… the Lakers probably wouldn’t amnesty him either. But they have to consider it writes Mike Bresnahan at the Los Angeles Times.

Waiving Gasol via the “amnesty” provision in July could potentially save them more than $60 million in luxury taxes. They would still have to pay his $19.3-million salary, though he could be snapped up by a bidding team that would owe the Lakers millions to help with that cost.

The Lakers also could try to trade Gasol, but his hefty salary next season could be difficult to move and they would likely have to take back salaries totaling at least $15 million, which wouldn’t really help a goal to avoid ridiculous luxury taxes.

A two guard team isn't gonna beat the Heat. All they have is Jennings-Ellis.

Barkley's right these playoffs are riddled with injuries and aging stars.

OKC just punched the Rockets in the face and says "What's up?". Need to punch back. Gotta run and pressure OKC that way.
