This injury probably goes a long way towards proving the guy just has a disposition to the injury, and it was going to happen no matter how much rest he got.

 

Not sure I agree with this. Rose never really had a significant injury prior to the ACL.

 

The truly tragic part is that may have all been due to a the lockout/short season.

Maybe you werent, but it sure seemed like it.

 

And quite frankly I never thought this Bulls team would win a championship, ive wanted to trade assets for years to get a better core that made more sense.

 

As for Thibs, no one has b****ed/moaned/complained about how he has treated players than me. So you are preaching to the choir. And thats why I was so angry, because I honestly believe that his first injury was avoidable.

I think this injury shows the first injury was inevitable.

He mised a ton of time during that season with all sorts of injuries.maybe a miracle happens and this one isn't as bad as most fear.

Everything has to go right to build your team around a 6'2" PG, even one as skilled as Rose was before the injury. Tear it up and get your star asap, I don't see any other way.

It isn't that easy to get that type of star. The Bulls were horrible a long time and couldn't draft one. The just got lucky with the lottery.

 

The other thing that will hold it back is Rose's contract if he can't play at a high level anymore. If Rose is suddenly average to a little better, the Bulls are screwed.

For sure. ESPN had some doc come on and said that once you tear one ACL, the chances of re-tearing it or tearing the OTHER ACL go up to 1 in 30. I can't imagine what the chances are if you've torn both. So sad.

Right it was the short season. They tried to rush him back and Rose was trying to play through injuries. Not a good combination.

 

All I can do is hope that in the future other teams protect their star player and have him sit a few more games, even at the cost of losing.

 

And Caffey, exactly. Thats why the discussion should be about whether the first injury was avoidable.

And for this one he had basically two years off. Rest wasn't the problem.

Even without that, the Bulls are screwed. They're right back to not having a superstar and that's how it's going to be for the next 5 years again.

Fans read too much into injuries and injury prevention, imo. We're talking about human bodies that are being monitored daily by the best minds in medicine. I don't buy in the slightest that Derrick's first injury was avoidable.

It was avoidable in the sense that if he didn't play he wouldn't get hurt. But these were non contact injuries, so it seems to me they were most likely going to happen eventually.

Both were just him taking a step. It was going to happen.

No it was in the last minute of the game and there is some science that suggests ACL injuries can be related to fatigue.

ACL injuries continue to jeopardize the athletic careers and long term functional ability of many young athletes (McLean, 2008). Due to the nature of athletic competition it is clear that the manifestation of fatigue can lead to dysfunctional movement patterns that increase ACL injury risk.

 

But whats done is done.

So the key would be never to have a fatigued Rose playing. I don't know exactly how you do that in the NBA.

Sigh. This is a stupid argument. Rose played like thirty games all season prior to his ACL tear. He was well rested. Just like this new injury. He's been off for 18 months. Blaming it on Thibs or Rose's minute load is moronic.

When the hell is this MRI?

 

I got a feeling the Bulls know it's a torn acl and are just working on a way to release the results if that makes sense.

 

I thought the same. I'd figure he'd have his MRI this morning. What's taking so long?!

 

According to @WojYahooNBA : DRose is a couple hours away from getting an MRI in LA
