Bulls star Derrick Rose has surgery, no timetable on return


CHICAGO, IL - SEPTEMBER 28: Derrick Rose #1 of the Chicago Bulls poses for a portrait during Media Day

CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose had surgery to repair his left eye socket Wednesday, a day after being elbowed in the face.

Coach Fred Hoiberg says the operation to repair a left orbital fracture ''went as expected.'' He would not put a timetable on Rose's return or rule him out for the opener Oct. 27 against Cleveland.

Hoiberg says the 2011 NBA MVP was elbowed in the face by one of the team's big men after making a ''great baseline drive'' and passing to the corner.

A spokeswoman at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where Rose had the operation, referred questions to the team.

Dr. Nicholas Volpe is chairman of ophthalmology at Northwestern Medicine. He is not handling the case, but predicted Rose could be back within 2-4 weeks.

Doug said that sometimes he felt that Butler wasn't on the team for a second because of the trash talk Butler is doing. 

And that Butler is the best player hands down, all in practice.

"He's been hands down the best player on the floor," McDermott said. "(Wednesday), he was guarding me and that was frustrating because he was everywhere. He's talking crap to all of us; it didn't feel like he was on our team for a second.

"He has a completely different mindset. He really wants to win. He's worth the money, that's for sure."

Jimmy :smokin
 
Thanks for clearing that up fam captainsneakerhead23 captainsneakerhead23

Amidst all this controversy and pissing matches, one thing goes unnoticed.
Jimmy is takings the reigns and becoming that vocal leader. Rose was never a vocal leader, he was always more reserved and let Noah be the voice....he didn't seem to have a problem with that.
We need that locker room leadership, not the bank account leadership.

All in all, once we start playing and get to January we'll know who's who, and what's what. Until then let's keep our fingers crossed and hope we stay healthy.
 
Didn't Doug come in w/ the hopes of being a great shooter? that COULD be a factor, but I like Snell for more of a faster tempo/transition style. Don't think Doug can keep up.

All this drose vs jimmy talk gets us nowhere.... Without them both together we win nothing!! Don't give a damn who the leader is.

Exactly, they're a great 1,2 combo and while good on their own, they're better together and better for the team.

I'd like to see Jimmy handling the ball more w/ Rose this season, let them both get in their groove and work out what works best for them and the team. W/ Rose's injuries, he should start taking a lighter role which means relinquishing some of the ballhandling

Seriously.

Media perpetuates all that **** and the fans play right into it

Jimmy is stepping up to be a leader. That's a good look. He'll be that guy we need to dethrone Lebron's team. 
 
the MDJ injury may be best thing for this team. Snell is going to get major min preseason and start of reg season. his defense is already above avg for SG/SF if can score for us that would be huge.
 
I have a feeling that he's going to be solid as he's finally out the dog of Thibs. Hoiberg gonna bring the best out of these offensive talents we got.
 
Game night ! I needs to watch this but am no where near CSN. Sucks

Highlights it is.

Observe thesystem for me
 
I'm feeling this new court....big ******ed Bull logo at center court, and the old Chicago font on the baselines :nthat:

Yeah but u can't let them get to you. It's preseason ain't nothing else to talk about, other that TT holding out on the Cavs.

Winning cures all. Regardless of all the BS that's put out there, once we start jelling and the ball gets rolling no one will care. We'll see where we're really at around Xmas-Jan.

On a side note the Bucks ain't no joke.
 
Rumors.. I don't believe it. 

At the end of the season, Butler had said it himself that him and Rose are "friends" in the court, but outside of business, they don't hang out because Rose has other things he gots to take care of and a son. And we can see that Rose doesn't hang with many or any NBA players at all. 

So something the media are trying to feed and stir up something to create a tension. Letting Rose play the bad guy and Butler as the savior because goodness gracious, there are a ton of reviews of Butler already, of how he's the leader, how he's better than Rose, how he is stepping up to Michael Jordan's leadership... all that. 
 
Thing i respect most about Jimmy is how hard he plays during the games and during the offseason. I think like the rest of us, i could care less if they get along or hang out i just want them to play well together.

Team is in an interesting spot this year, not a title contender but we arent rebuilding. Worst spot to be in.

This! It is like what Jimmy said. Since the bulls lost, they have to put the blame on someone or something. If their chemistry is on point and they're winning the rumors will stop.
