Bulls Players Annoyed By Derrick Rose Always Leaving Torn Ligaments All Over Locker Room

CHICAGO—Calling it “disrespectful” and “totally disgusting,” members of the Chicago Bulls expressed their frustration to reporters Wednesday over point guard Derrick Rose’s habit of always leaving his torn ligaments strewn all over their locker room. “Every time I walk in here after practice or a game, I see Derrick’s shredded MCLs and ACLs just lying on the floor, and it’s ridiculous,” said small forward Jimmy Butler, who added that he and his teammates have repeatedly implored Rose to clean up the wet, tattered bands of connective tissue that he regularly leaves sitting in puddles of synovial fluid around nearby lockers. “Not only is it gross, but yesterday Pau [Gasol] threw out one that he almost slipped on in the bathroom. They’re Derrick’s ligaments, so we shouldn’t have to pick up after him like this. We’re sick of it.” Butler added that he and his teammates have also spoken to Rose about his chunks of knee cartilage that routinely clog the facility’s shower drains.

Its not clever or funny. Its just stale. When Steph or somebody has a major injury at least there can be some fresh jokes for a while, but people would probably still think they were being funny 4 years later then too...

Those army ones are absolutely atrocious.

Random Heat thoughts:
Goran Dragic has been pretty bad this season so far. But speaking of point differential I think Miami is like 5th in the league going into yesterday. Justise Winslow was a steal at 10. Hassan Whiteside will be getting a max somewhere next summer. He's got game but it's also very obvious how dumb and combustible he is. The Heat probably have about as much potential variability in their season outcome as anybody in the league: as high as 3rd and losers in the ECF and as low as another lottery team. The first couple of weeks have been encouraging, but I could still see them ending up anywhere in that range.

So, pretty much what we thought before the season started?

:shock: Drummond is averaging more than 19 rebs a game. If he could continue that pace, it'd be the most since Wilt in the early '70s. That's insane.

Yeah, basically. Now I'm sure that Winslow is going to be a stud. He's already rating as a top wing defender. You never know what to expect from Whiteside, but I think he's already convinced me that last year wasn't a fluke. Dragic has been a massive disappointment. In fact, we've finished several games with him on the bench and Tyler Johnson running the point. I'm cautiously optimistic, especially for the future. It looks like we finally have some youth to build with.

It's really impossible to say. The Heat have an astounding number of moving parts going into next season.

I really enjoyed watching the Thunder fold in the 4th quarter last night.

Unrestricted and the Heat can't sign him until July 1 (or whatever date it is in 2016 when he is available to the whole league).

Intriguing. Lots of teams are going to have the cap space to chase him.
