You kinda start to wonder how things are gonna play out for D Rose`s career.

Reports spreading that the Bulls fear an ACL tear in his right knee. Sickening.

It makes you wonder if Rose simply has a congenital weakness in the support structures of the knee.  People do - it's just that the average person who doesn't do what Rose does for a living will go through their lives never knowing it.

Well - all we can do is hope this is miraculously not another torn ACL, and the initial diagnosis is off (which it almost never is).  It really is unlikely he'll ever be the same player if indeed it is the ACL.

I really hope if it is his ACL that they blow this team up and tank the rest of this season.  Trade Deng, Boozer, Noah and Hinrich for whatever you can get so long as it comes off the books next year.  A core of Butler, Gibson and Mirotic will be a good start coupled with a good pick in next year's draft or two. (If Charlotte keeps improving the Bulls get their pick next year as well).  Sadly Rose's days as a top five player are probably over and even with him this team was poorly conceived.  You can't have only one guy on the team who can create their own shot.  Watching Portland last night I was astounded how many guys they have who simply bury every open shot they get.  Yet Thibs continued to double Aldridge every damn play throwing the defense out of their rotations.   The one time they didn't double Aldridge Gibson forced him into a ridiculous fade away.  Stupid.

Bulls guard Derrick Rose sustained an injury to his right knee against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Subsequent examinations and an MRI confirmed a medial meniscus tear to his right knee, which will require surgery. Rose is out indefinitely, and will not accompany the team on the rest of its current road trip.

Blow the team up and donate Rose's body to science.

Rose is probably done for the year, but that injury isn't as bad as another ACL. In theory, anyway.

In the big picture, this is very good news.  Another ACL would have brought us close to Grant Hill territory.  For the average player, this would be a 2-4 month injury.  Given Rose's history obviously they'll be very conservative but he should certainly play again this year.

It depends on what they do in surgery.  If they remove it he will be back in 4 to 8 weeks.  If they repair it he will be beack in 4-6 months which basically means next season.  The difference is that removing it will shorten his career.  If they can repair it he will be able to come back the same player.

It's not that simple.  Technology is way ahead of where it was when Wade had his procedure done, and he shouldn't be used as a template.  Also, a medial meniscus tear is less severe than a lateral tear.

It really all depends on how severe the tear is - which they won't know until they actually do the surgery.  If the tear is small enough there are procedures that can be done that can get Rose back on the floor in 6-8 weeks without removing the meniscus entirely.  I'm sure the Bulls will be cautious and take the conservative path, but I'd be very surprised of Rose isn't back on the floor at least a month before the playoffs.  And in any event, this isn't the sort of injury that should threaten a career.

This represents a huge opportunity for Teague to show that he belongs in the NBA.  If he takes advantage of it that could be big for the Bulls, long-term.

JR, I caught the end of the Vandy-Tennessee game yesterday.  Man, if it weren't for replay, Vanderbilt would have screwed by one of the worst spots ever.  Holy smokes, one could see immediately that the linesman was over a YARD off!

Yeah that was awful.  Like you said, that would have gone down as typical Vandy luck in past years if it wasn't for replay.

My Big Orange have went to hell in the past several years.

Truth being told Vandy had the better team but we did give it away.

JR and Jiggy, I have no dog in the fight.  I just saw some bad officiating.
