Though, the longer we wait, the worse the news will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be a while before anything official comes out. The Bulls players seem to think he's done for the playoffs. I just hope its nothing that will permanently slow him down at all. This year he was an accident waiting to happen and it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeNukeEm Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Wouldn't he miss a big chunk of next year if it's torn? Depends obviously, but even that doesn't really matter. If its torn he's finished being the player he once was, still be a good PG but his superstar days will be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) This could end up being the darkest day in Bulls history (even worse than Michael's first retirement, which felt like a death). This season would obviously be over. More than likely next season as well. The Bulls will never, ever land another superstar through trade or FA, obviously. Yikes.

I doubt the Bulls will compete at last year's level again for decades. Pro basketball just died in Chicago. Unless by some miracle he's more-or-less OK, then we dodged more than a bullet... like stepping out the way of howitzer round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knee surgery isn't as bad as it used to be. DRose will return and be fine most likely. Look at all the NFL running backs that had ACL and MCL surgeries. It used to be a death sentence, not necessarily these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loses a step, he's a shell of his former self. He'd still be solid, but not anything near MVP levels if he slows down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all the NFL running backs that had ACL and MCL surgeries. It used to be a death sentence, not necessarily these days. I'm not saying his career is over. I'm just saying that (worst case scenario) two years could possibly be wiped out by this. The Bulls have a window here to win a title. It might've just closed permanently. Again, that's worst-case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxsoxsoxsox Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) No official word on when DRose's MRI will take place. Sometimes, teams have to wait until swelling subsides. It's clear, though, that players and team officials are worried. One teammate who talked to DRose said DRose thinks he felt knee pop.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) This is terrible. I know everybody thinks I love to trash the Bulls. But this really, really sucks. I wanted to be proven wrong. And Miami is going to have the easiest road to the finals in NBA history.

Quin Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I heard pop and got some hope...I've strained an ACL before and got back in a few weeks with 100th of Rose's conditioning and med staff. But if it's a tear...f***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
