    I still don't understand why rose gets the start after barely playing for two years but whatever. If he needs rest already, what makes the coaching staff think that he will be able to be consistent when the real games start happening? It doesn't sound good to me. If I'm thibs, I'm taking rose out and telling him he needs to save his energy for the upcoming season. I think Damian deserves a chance. I think rose is overrated. He can't shoot, isn't as explosive as a Westbrook. Can finish at the rim and play some defense. That's it. I'm just saying if he's this tired already, get rid of him. Your gonna have to play Spain with an already depleted team. Last thing you need is d rose not playing in these games because he's injured or tired or not playing well.

    COME ON, SON!!

    If he's already having trouble with his knees, I think he might be on the verge of retirement. Sad, but it reminds me of Roy.

    I don't get Rose playing. If I were Thibs and the Bulls I'd be concerned.

    Why though, there's a ton of Rose talk in the thread. I'm genuinely curious more than anything, so I know.

    He's new, still trying to figure out how the forum works. Why not encourage him to post then to start correcting him on what he did post.

    I knew there was a fiba thread but there wasn't much talk going on in there last time I checked. Just talk on Damian probably getting cut. Sorry if this was a dumb post, I just am annoyed at the whole situation and don't really understand it. Damian could really get better playing in these games and I feel like we have and rose that isn't getting better like the media is telling us. I believe it will end up in an unfortunate b Roy situation. I mean, come on. Second exhibition game in and you aren't playing because you need rest?! Well how is he gonna play these upcoming fiba games ya know? Plus lead the bulls to the eastern conference finals. Just don't buy into what I'm being told I guess

    People are replying to it so it's not a dumb post.

    I don't get why Rose is there either and why they aren't giving Lillard more minutes.

    Post what you want and don't worry about the whole new thread police stuff . . . I doubt most care.

    Rose is going to take it slow if it hurts a lot or if he just has a little tingle, IMO. But he was the MVP of the league and is obviously a talent if 100%. I don't think you can ignore that. I really don't care too much what happens in FIBA and doesn't look like the NBA players care that much either.

    This guy lost credibility when he said Rose was overrated.

    I'd be pissed as a Bulls fan if he's already experiencing any sort of discomfort at all, and yet he's still there.
