Wizards weren't no damn rival.

We beat the crap out of them every time.

Am I the only one who hates the nickname "D Rose"?

There are certain names that don't really need to be shortened and Derrick Rose is one of them, to me at least lol.

Like I'm really praying for the day some d-bag decides to shorten up Kobe Bryant and start calling them K-Bry so I can slap the almighty, holy **** out of them.

I assume you don't like D-Will then.

But D-Rose is different than K-Bry (), in the sense that its Derrick's full last name.

D Rose isn't any worse than D Wade...

although at least Derrick is spelled correctly

"I'm not going to let him back until the doctors tell me that it's absolutely safe for him to come back," Reinsdorf said. "I made that mistake with Michael Jordan years ago where I think we let him come back too soon. It worked out OK, but it might not have. This time I'm not going to make that mistake. Until the doctors say he's 100 percent and they put their reputations on the line, he's not coming back." "The doctors told us that it would be eight to 12 months from the time of the surgery," Reinsdorf said. "Surgery was the middle of May. That means the earliest possible time he'll be back would be the middle of January. If it's 12 months, then he'll miss the whole season. We just don't know. The reports are very good. They say he's ahead of schedule. He's doing all the rehabbing he's got to do. We'll see. In the meantime, I think we're going to have a pretty decent club."

I think we're good on that.

Yeah, I know the team is going to be cautious. The thing I fear is that Rose gets so anxious to play that he tells the doctors that he feels better than he really is, but then again I don't see him as one to lie to doctors...

Whatever, I just that he has a full recovery

Edit: but what Jerry said was very reassuring. Especially:

"Until the doctors say he's 100 percent and they put their reputations on the line, he's not coming back."

Worst article I've read in a long time, I wanted to slap the writer. Not to mention touting himself for helping Pop. Garbage.

Reinsdorf is like "If you doctors mess this kid up for me I'll see to it you never practice medicine again!"
