It's over for the Bulls. I think they will lose this series but if they do get past Phlly they have no shot in the 2nd round.
Thib is still stupid for leaving him out there with 1 min left up 12. Damn this is going to hurt his career.
It is common for the starting 5 to have the starters in with a minute left up 12. Not really stupid by Thibs just unfortunate.
This is the NBA... Spurs up by 12 with an minute remaining...and we all know what happened after that...76ers were still scoring...I feel terrible for Rose...
Rose was such a sick speedy PG...without his step...this will destroy his career...what a devastating injury
Also Rose may never be the same player again. His game depends way too much on his explosiveness. He must learn to become a better PG and develop a better jumper. Sucks for Chicago because Rose's new super-max contract starts next season.
With or without him in the game 76ers were most likely not coming back but these same folks blaming Thibs probably didn't say why is Rose still in the game a few seconds before the injury. It isn't like the game was real chippy and he was injured from a dirty foul or anything. I knew people would blame Thibs.
I'd add that he plays in the air too much to last long term. He's got to stay on the ground more or he'll wear his knees, ankles, feet, and back out. I'm convinced that's one of the reasons Nash has been able to last as long as he has.
This all the more makes me appreciate the great PG in the game...Magic, stockton, nash, kidd...Rose will have to change everything he knew about basketball instantly...he will never be explosive...but he can still be one of the best PGs...
Sounds like something that would happen to the Rockets. Really sad for Rose. Come back strong. Hate stuff like that.
