They have a whole section in the Memphis library of Rose’s MRI’s.

I don’t think Paxson, Mr. Due Diligence himself, would have drafted Rose without being completely convinced his knee issues were not knee problems.

and all Rose needs is to rest his knee. I would even go as far as to say to rest him from the Olympic training games in Vegas. Not worth it until they get his knee to a stable point. Having it flaring up after a few summer league games is troublesome.

It’s too bad, because I liked what I saw from TT and was hoping for a nice relaxing summer,.

But nooooo, we have to deal with Rose’s knee issue and Gordon/Deng’s contract negotiations. Oh well, have to look at the bright side, had the ping pong balls popped differently, we’d have drafted someone nowhere near as talented as Rose.

Anybody disagreeing with that is a Knicks fan

But, yeah a healthy knee is obviously better than whatever ailments Rose has. It’s clear we need to put him in a hyperbaric chamber whenever he is not playing.

But things have not been going the way i was hoping they would after they drafted rose. I know its just tendinitis and whatever, but after what happened to oden, livingston and williams, i can’t help but get really worried. i just hope the bulls training staff put rose on a steady diet of lower body exercises once this tendinitis goes down. Squats in particular. And maybe someone should show rose videotape of walter payton’s workouts. wow. yes, sweetness was lucky that he was NEVER injured, but his off-season workouts were crazy. Rose must put in almost as much time in lifting and running as he puts in for bball. Its important, especially for durability.
Second, what the hell is going on with re-signing BG and deng?? I have reached my breaking point with pax’s due dilligence. pax moves like a geriatric compared to other GM’s. give those guys their money!!!! stop fucking around
peace

is that a big part of what makes DRose such an enticing prospect is the speed and athleticism. It doesn’t sound like a serious knee problem, but something they definitely need to get figured out so whenever he gets back to playing he can go full speed. Maybe it’s one of those things where he’s going to have to control his gym rat tendencies a bit even if that means his game develops a little bit slower.

Hopefully the team has learned something about dealing with lingering injuries after Noc’s plantar fasciitis and Lu’s achilles.

Rose is a player very dependent on his quickness. Tendenitis at 19 years old is a concern. I hope we do not get a MRI report saying Rose needs that microfracture surgery and will be out for a year. I don’t think I could take that.

The pain goes away as you start playing. I have tendonitis as well in my right knee. I used to have it both knees. I partially tore a ligament in my left knee and after rehab I’ve haven’t had pain in that knee since. It’s rather odd.

Rose should be shut down anyway for at least two months. Get his personal affairs in order as he transitions from amateur to pro. Go get a house. Fill it with furniture. Don’t shop where Tank Johnson shops. Get settled. Watch film. Study your opponents.

He can practice free throws. ;)

Bad luck or bad decisions, more likely a combination of the both, but that’s what we’ve had over the years.
I wouldnt be suprised if Roses knee issues end up being worse than we think.
We have somewhat of a history…

(in no particular order)
Jay Wil-bad luck. Yes i’m going that far back.
TT over LaMarcus-not looking good right now
Tyson Chandler-Blowing up in NO
Signing Ben Wallace-no longer here, and now we’re stuck w/ freakin’ Larry Hughes
Missing on Diantoni-bad judgement, Mike.
Letting EB go-All-star w/ Clips

Im putting my trust in Rose…don’t let me down, R1!

Good times, Good times.

As a Blazer fan, I know I’m supposed to get all obnoxious and talk about blown picks. But in the bigger scheme of things, it’d be way too freaky if the #1 pick had serious knee-itis problems two years in a row.

It’s probably nothing to worry about. But then, I thought Oden was just going in for a little scope. The microfracture took us all by complete surprise. He had a bunch of MRIs done by the Blazer doctors before the draft, and his knees looked “pristine.” (I bet Pax gave Rose’s body the same looks before the draft.)

On the other hand, Brandon Roy’s heel gave him lots of problems last summer and I don’t think he even played in preseason games. It looked like a bad start to the year, but he ended up playing a ton of minutes in 74 games and the heel didn’t give him any further problems.

I keep checking here. I think if the results are negative it will be reported quickly. If there is a problem they will want to have a plan to present to the media.

I had tendonitis in my left knee since I was about 13 years old. I got it because I had a growth spurt over the summer. I even have a small knot under my knee cap to this day. I am 28 years old today and have played basketball my whole life. Most ballers have this condition in the NBA and in any type of organized ball.

My knee was weak untill I strenghting my legs by doing squats, lunges and leg presses. You have to strenghting the muscles surrounding the knee. Most guys hate working their lower bodies, so it is easy to have weaker legs muscles. I think Pax is just using caution by resting Rose becasue of what happened to Oden last summer. Oh, and I still have hops, but nothing like Derrick though.

That the chicago media seems a few steps behind when it comes to the Chicago Bulls recently. It seems that KC really enjoys his summer vacations…..

Still, I cant see Rose’s condition as being that serious. Leg strengthening can do wonders. I completely shredded my ACL and part of my PCL and didnt have health insurance, so opted to do a leg strengthening program instead of surgery. Three years later, as long as I do a light set of squats and some leg extensions once a week, I can run, play basketball, football and even water ski.

Considering Rose has some of the best trainers and doctors in the world, Im sure he can make it though tendonitis.
