Cleared to play and being 100% are two different things. He should come back when he knows he's ready, not when some Doctor clears him to play. ACLs are a tricky thing, come back too early and his career could be ruined. Sounds familiar...

If you're cleared, doesn't that mean the Dr think you're 100% and you're no more a threat to re-injure that knee?

And no, this isn't the same as the RG3 situation.

yes.

D-Rose is the only person keeping D-Rose from playing. He says he still can't dunk off his left foot and his hamstrings hurt after practice

If the player doesn't feel he is fully ready to go, what is wrong with him waiting to make sure? It's his career.

Is he not getting Paid? It's not like anyone's making him come back early. He's been out a while and now he's medically cleared.

Future pay could be at risk. I'll I'm saying is it's his body. If he feels like his body isn't ready yet, so be it. Doesn't bother me. I'd rather see him come back at full strength next year rather than see him come back as a shell of his former self for the rest of the season.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

my only issue is that he seems to think he can come back without any lingering effects.

The knee won't be FULLY healed until next season so if he is considering playing this year then he needs to realize that he will have to learn to play with pain. He seems to be scared of pain, which is concerning IMO

Disregard, I can't tell sarcasm

I don't know if this is dunk of the year, but when I saw it live, i might've just woken up my entire apartment complex. R.I.P. Brandon Knight, you will be missed.....

Bottom line, Rose needs to be out there. He's been cleared. Doesn't matter if he can dunk off his left foot for not. That's assinine. Never realized that was a requirement to play. He's soft.

god damn Deandre.....yikes!

"this was so nasty I had to switch to porn when my Mom walked into the room"

Calling Rose soft and/or questioning his leadership is asinine.

You're entitled to your opinion. But that's my assessment of Rose. If you're cleared, you play. Whether you can dunk off your left foot or not is totally irrelevant. He's needs to get his ass out there.

Actually, one of the best I've ever seen. Absolutely disgusting.

Soft...yea, ok.

You do know that there is just as much of a mental hurdle to get over off of an ACL injury as there is physical, right?

Lakers only two games back from GSW for the 6th spot. GS has a cushy schedule down the stretch but LA is a better team. I think LA can catch them. But they can't have a single injury or else they might fall back out of the playoffs.
