Bulls elbow past Pistons amidst worries about Rose’s elbow

[Quad]

By Sam Smith

Rose, who had 17 points and 10 assists in an unselfish effort with the Bulls getting 31 assists to 18 for the Pistons, took an outlet pass and drove at Tayshaun Prince. Rose crossed him over going to the left side of the basket. Rose then went up to lay the ball in and appeared to get a little shove in the back from Damien Wilkins as Rose went by.

Could it be an omen, Damien?

Rose landed onto his left elbow with a thud echoing around the sparsely populated arena. Rose lay on his right side awhile holding his elbow. Rose then rolled over onto his back with his arms crossed over his eyes. Rose then got up and walked off with trainer Fred Tedeschi.

Sad, and his career was off to such a promising start. The Bulls just can't get any luck with highly drafted point guards. They probably should have traded him for some future picks or something this offseason while his stock was at its highest.

At least the Bulls still have their amnesty to get out from under that contract.

I suggest we amnesty Rose,make Lucas a Starter and with the salary cap relief,sign Arenas and give Scalabrine a multi-year multi-million contract,in order not lose him in tge end of the season. I can't bare another huge player loss...

Really? Is fire hot? Is ice cold? You don't have to state obvious facts...

This is why we have the catch-all threads for team chatter. For what it's worth, he's reportedly good to go.
