I never said he shouldn't be in tonight's game, I was referring to the game when Rose tore his knee up.

The tone in your post made it obvious.
How were we being sensitive? We gave you a reason for Thibs not being at fault for Rose's injury. Like I said, it was a freak injury. Are we not allowed to give rebuttals without being labeled sensitive? We understand Thibs has a hard on for riding players too hard at times but I don't see anything wrong with him being kept in. People can tear their ACLs doing anything.

In denial would have been a better choice. Don't play that "you can tear your ACL doing anything" game. If he was out of the game like he should have been, it wouldn't have happened. If he tore his knee up walking to the team bus then yeah, ****** luck.

It might be a blessing in disguise that Rose tore his ACL anyway. Rose's 3 PT shot has been looking good all preseason. It'll be all worth it if Rose takes his game to the next level like it's looking.

Odds? If it happened the next game in the 1st quarter, so be it. Game was in hand against a trash team. No reason for him to be out there. Thibbs shouldn't be crucified for it or anything, but you take your starters out when you're in that exact situation. If you don't agree, cool, you just take a pretty unnecessary risk.

Anyone out there actually take Westbrook over Rose? I see them being compared a lot, IMO it's not even a question. Rose's ability to pace himself and to change speeds gives him the clear edge. Westbrook definitely improved last season in his decision making but those Bad Russ moments are a mystery. When he goes in a straight line 100 MPH or forces shots for no apparent reason, it's just smh worthy.

Lol truth. Russ is probably the only point guard in the nba to consistently match Rose's play head to head. Not even Cp3 can say that. Maybe Deron in the Utah Days..

I look at Durant & wish Beas had same similar improvement with his ball handling.
