I noticed that Rose didn't practice again today. Read that he was sitting out with ice on his knees yesterday. That doesn't sound very good for a guy that has been resting for the better part of two years now. Seems like he may have chronic issues going forward.
Watching him in the game against Brazil made me question how much they have over hyped his return. I thought he looked mediocre at best.
Is Rose Healthy?

He's going to be fine. Keep in mind that he hasn't played competitively for 2 years now. They're not going to push him to practice when 95% of the tournament is going to be a cake walk anyway. He's also never been a selfish superstar so he's not going to be trying to enforce his will on the game to pad stats. I thought he looked good in the scrimmage in Vegas. You also have to remember that Thibs is an assistant coach so he's going to do everything he can to get D Rose to the regular season healthy.

Bulls want to sell some more season tickets i guess :-D. Rose has long way to go imho, and also once your knees are dead they are dead for good so we will see how durable he is going to be. But I definitely wish him the best he is great player to watch.

I hope he's back and healthy for the sake of the Chicago Bulls and the NBA, but I'm not a fan of his personally. Seems like a good guy and all, but he doesn't know how to play point guard and that aggravates me. His jumper's still meh as well. Basically, when his athleticism starts to decrease, what kind of player is he?

You have to be kidding, right?

Is Rose healthy? All I can say is that I sure hope so. He's a great player and a good person. With Rose healthy, there are two NBA title contenders in the East; without him only one. He's very fun the watch and more than anything his presence on the court elevates the entire League. All my best to Derrick Rose.

No way man. 25ppg and 8apg are scrub numbers. I definitely wouldn't want him on my team.
