Rose Hurt Again

After an MRI yesterday it was discovered that Rose suffered a right torn meniscus and will be out indefinitely.  This is sad news after the one time MVP missed a season from a torn ACL injury.  Timetables haven’t been determined just yet but this is consecutive knee injuries that will sideline the superstar.  I’m almost positive that he will be eager to get back on the court once he is cleared again.  This really makes it hard for Chicago once again because they were just getting accustomed to having him back in the lineup and setting the tone. Rose had shown flashes of his quickness at times but you could tell the rust hadn’t entirely worn off.  I wish he has a speedy recovery. We all start to wonder whether how the future of Rose will play out if this continues.

It all Starts Tomorrow

Tomorrow it begins, a very much anticipated NBA season.  The marquee game will be between Chicago and Miami.  The Clippers will play the Lakers after as the second half of the double header on TNT.  However with no Kobe it just doesn’t have the same magnitude as the so called Battle of LA.  The Clippers are a better team and with Doc at the helm they can be dangerous.  But back to the topic, Rose a one-time MVP will begin his comeback season facing the defending champions.  And I for the record think the Bulls will upset the Heat in Miami after they receive their rings.  Below are the top ten plays of the preseason so far.

Rose for 30

YES YES YES the NBA season is almost here, and I can’t wait.  This year will be even better then last year. I know that’s hard to imagine but trust me its true.  One of the biggest stories that will be covered is the return of MVP Derrick Rose in Chicago.  I know it is just preseason but from what I have seen, he looks good.  And by good I mean he hasn’t lost a step.  In fact it almost looks like he gained one, and put on more muscle in the off-season.  According to him he is even jumping higher as well. ( That I don’t believe )  Chicago made some noise in the playoffs last year and you can believe they will make even more now with him in the lineup.  I was a big critic last year when he decided not to play and so far it looks like it was the right decision. Here are the highlights of his 30 point performance in a preseason win over the Pacers.
