I'm not dogging on the raps, they were good last year.

It's just going to be really hard to judge where they are until the season progresses and they play some more good teams.

As it stands their best win is vs. Washington and after that Atlanta (3-3).

lol Derrick Rose saying he is worried about his health after his "career" (whatever career that is I have no idea) is over. Sounds fishy to me. His character is totally coming into question at this point. Sounds to me like he just wants to get his millions for doing absolutely nothing.

Not sure why you have such a boner to go after Rose.

It's not like he's had problems with "hangnails" or "owie boo-boos".

Really, explain in detail how his character is coming into question after fighting back from pretty terrible injuries?

Listen to Stephen A. and Skip right now on ESPN. They are saying exactly what I'm saying.


Everything about this guy is flat out questionable at this point.

Those two are jackasses that are constantly stirring the pot.

They are to sports journalism what Breitbart is to accurate political assessments.

I knew you would say that.


They aren't the only ones. All of the sports world is talking about it and the bottom line is his statement is alarming.

No one is questioning the 2 major injuries but when guys were playing with sprained ankles and Nate Robinson throwing up on the bench and Rose sits out because of a sprained ankle and then started talking about post basketball life that's what makes you go

He's making it sound like basketball players lose their health like football players do.

True or not, it gives the impression that the guy has no heart and only cares about the $95 million the Bulls are spending on him.

It wasn't game 7 of the playoffs, I'm happy to see him sit out and come back slowly from the injuries that have plagued him. Especially because the Bulls can win 50 games this season without him (easily).

The whole "no heart" thing gets thrown around a lot by people that generally are just trying to stir the pot.

If Thibs was playing him partially hurt in meaningless regular season match-ups he'd be getting crucified by the same guys like Smith and Bayless. Their show is garbage and what they lack in terms of basketball insight (and that's a lot) they make up for in hyperbole and name calling.

Rose gets criticized but what about those players that sit at the end of the year because of various 'injuries '? Should we question their hearts too?
