    Not a bad stat. But if you watch him play he has "moments" when his athleticism flashes or his jumper is solid ... but he is nowhere close to what he was and tbh, I doubt he will ever be elite again. Even for Team USA his game came and went ... a 3 ball will make him more efficient but that was never his game.
    It takes years to recover from those type injuries. Everybody wants to have the injury, put the compulsory 1 year in on rehab then move away from it. That's convenient, but, entirely impossible. The injured is still back there.

    He was injured a lot in 2012 before he tore his ACL. If it wasn't for that I would chalk his recent injury woes to his body not eing conditioned after two years away, but tbh he was injury prone before.

    What I find incredible is the behavior of Thibs.

    agree, tbh.

    People love to on players/teams on SpursTalk, but Rose obviously wants to be on the court. He's still young, he just needs to get back into playing condition.

    Yes, and there is no assurance, or, day on the calendar that is set in stone for his recovery and the path to that recover. I can understand fans being mad at him (for being injured), because they know no better. But, their coach? He's been reading his press clippings and taking them to heart.

    The day(s) his injuries took place all the fake "friends" said all the right things. "He'll be back good as new.", on & on & on. But, it rarely happens like that and they don't want to suffer this tragedy any longer, now they want it to go away because it's lasted much too long and the proverbial happy ending isn't within sight, or, assured.

    Rose has given up. He should just quit and go home.

    “I’m thinking about long term. I’m thinking about after I’m done with basketball. Having graduations to go to, having meetings to go to, I don’t want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son’s graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. [I’m] just learning and being smart.”
    One thing you have to give Kobe, is he would play on 1 leg if he had to Chucking up shots.

    Oh, that's for sure. I am not trying to say he's as good as before, but he is not "finished". He can still be a very good player, or even an all-star level player if he tweaks his game just enough.

    Thibs will be gone if the Bulls under perform this season. He no longer feels sorry for the gang banger and he shouldn't tbh.

    how is he supposed to be a very good player if he can't play an entire game without getting hurt?..

    They've even been limiting his minutes and load, yet he's still getting hurt virtually every game..

    Rose is inconvenient. The injuries took too long. And patience ain't an American forte. [They] didn't like it when it happened the first time, but, they put on the brave face and the dog, because they'd seen it done before. When it happened again they put on the brave face and the dog, because they were setting a precedent. But, it's drug on too long and they want to go back to being talked about as a legit contender. Even Media can't stand the gaffe. And now even their coach can't take it.

    Tragedy doesn't have a timetable, Hair. Just because "you're" tired of it doesn't end the tragedy. "You" figure, well, we accepted the injuries in the honored tradition, but, it's taking way too long." So you give Rose a dirty look and talk about him behind his back. Media steers it around because they have to make a living just like the next asshole in the line.

    He has to heal and that will and has taken years.

    He's close to being done. His last "healthy" year was 2011. It's going to be 2015 in about 5 weeks. He's reaching Penny Hardaway status.

    There aren't many examples of players with Rose's injury history that recovered and excelled in the league, tbh..

    Sure, there are a few, but the number of players that failed to recover far exceeds the former, tbh..

    "You" finally confess that (you didn't want it to happen.) It happened.

    "You're" weak.

    So there is no chance for recovery for him? How would you know? Isn't this where advanced medicine and training of today's game allow him to come back and play like he once did? Will Thibbs be able to use complex offensive and defensive sets to optimize his output using today's advanced metrics?

    Rose has proven it every year that he cant come back 100% healthy.

    He's going to prove it again this season.

    That's what they say about Grant Hill, Ilgauskas, Bernard King.

    Sure the list isn't all that long, but Rose have a chance, and it's just too early to call him "finished".

    It should be noted that Pau Gasol, returning from a calf injury that may have been caused due to overuse of the 34-year old, also reported feeling “a little fatigued.”
    Fatigued 15 games into the season? Thibs'll do that to ya.

    I guess Pau got that larger role he was looking for.

    Nuggets ain't too bad. They won 5 straight and are now sitting on a .500 record.
    You say that like being at .500 is a good record....

    Oh, wait, you're a Lakerfan, my bad...

    The Nugs are not as bad as people make them to be. They started 0-7 but have turned things around since Shaw figured his rotations.

    Amb, when you get a bone you get lockjaw like a "pitt" tbh ...
    Good stuff though.
