OT - D-Rose - Out with sore knees.

[Strummer]

He skipped last couple of practices. Out of game with sore knees.

I think he will go down as one of the greatest athletes in any sport to have a career truncated extremely early due to injury.

I'll give it even odds he's still in the NBA in 5 years.

You know when you read things like this, it makes you appreciate Al Iverson some more. He took hits, licks, kicks, bows, bangs from people seemingly twice his size and survived.

He was a durable little MF.

And this is why I couldn't see Carmelo or any other big free agent going to Chicago "to play with D. Rose". He shouldn't be playing any "extra " basketball at all.

On topic for us (so maybe OT: OT: would be an appropriate prefix). Drummond and Gay both played well. It was an overmatched opponent, but still. Perhaps Drummond did enough to make it, after looking like he was on the chopping block before. I assume Gay will, or else they would have stayed with who they had and not called him up after the PG injury and KD departure.

Bill Walton says hello. Could you imagine what Walton would have done healthy for 15 years?

Purvis Ellison. A bunch of guys really.

It really is a shame. Derek Rose was one of the most fun to watch players I've ever seen. When healthy, there's not a point guard in the league that's better than him.

But I don't think he's ever going to get back to where he was.

 

[Horatio]

The soreness comes with the knee surgeries and it doesn't stop . I can definetely see him having a " Ron Harper" role player career. It's bad but at least he's paid.

Chinese Traditional medicine (CTM) can help him. Start with acupuncture 1 hour each before and after a game. Then there's their herbs. their small ladies run long distances like crazy and their 10/12-year girls jump like devil-incarnate in gymnastics.
