whitesoxfan99 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) We are truly at the point where there's no reason for him not to be playing for the team paying him on a $95 million contract. In fact, I'd be pretty shocked if he doesn't play tomorrow night. That may be true but that video does nothing to prove that. Dunking at half speed is nothing like the stress that cutting at full speed puts on his body and the confidence he has to move laterally at full speed is the most important part of his recovery.

Soxbadger Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Its really just risk v reward. Reward of an extra week or 2 weeks of D-Rose, not worth risk of D-Rose being re-injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all about confidence and conditioning at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's been almost 10 months since the game that Rose got hurt in. For comparisons sake: Ricky Rubio had 9 months and 6 days before returning; Al Jefferson had 8 months and 20 days back in 2009 (hurt in Feb. 2009 and started the next season); David West had 9 months and 2 days; Iman Shumpert, who had the same injury the same day as Rose, has been back for a month (8 months, 20 days). Obviously each player is different and each injury is probably slightly different, but at least in comparison to some other recent NBA ACL injuries (or at least a small sampling of them), it seems like Rose is taking longer than normal.

Jake Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's completely deliberate on Derrick's part. I correspond with his college trainer and he said if he was at Memphis, he'd have been playing for at least a month. I don't mind him taking time, but he has no business taking the whole season off.

I'm not pissed at him yet but he's gonna have to get over his fear at some point and just play, sitting out the whole season would be pretty ridiculous.

It is all about confidence and conditioning at this point. Interesting opinion, but Im not sure that a Dr would agree that after an ACL injury there is no greater risk of re-injury. I also would think that confidence and conditioning play a role in re-injury. He is your star player, he is young, imo he comes back when he is ready, not a game sooner.

Im reading a pretty huge qualifier. Besides for Rose, how can anyone tell if he is able to practice at full pace and feeling fine? Thats the problem with pain tolerance/injuries, you just dont know what the other person is feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing he wants to come back at an MVP level. However, that's a catch 22 as he needs to play to get there (if he will at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I guess it will all be forgotten once he sets foot on the court again. Doesn't he appear to be on schedule of the schedule that apparently doesn't exist? I didn't expect him back til sometime in March which seems to be in step with his progress from reports in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By March, he's behind the pace of most Major League athletes who have the same surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I knew, the Bulls have a pretty extensive coaching and training staff, not to mention media presence. I am sure at least one of them knows what Rose's full pace looks like.

IMO (which is based on second hand medical info), he is still in the window of "I'm taking my time because I don't want to come back out of playing shape and develop new injuries because I pushed it." However, I don't think that window extends another month into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think the best thing would be to take the hot tub treatment. Feet and lower legs in first, then up to the waist, then all the way in. You want him to start his first game back just so he can get the ovation, but you really don't want him playing any more than 16-20 his first few back. Then you can up that to 22-26, and then kick it up above 30+ mins from there. By postseason time, he'd be playing full games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
