Derrick Rose Playing With Functionality In Just One Eye

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 2:54 pm

Derrick Rose is dealing with blurred vision as he continues his recovery from a fractured left orbital bone.

Rose hasn't been able to simply blink the eye back into focus.

"I wish it was a blink, but it's all the time," said Rose, who played 32 minutes and scored 18 points. "Like right now, I see two of you."

Rose had surgery Sept. 30 and has been wearing a protective mask the past few weeks.

Rose said he was keeping only his right eye open when on the court. But photos of game action show both eyes clearly open, with Rose's left eye lid slightly swollen.

"When I'm out there playing, I'm only using one of my eyes," Rose said. "I close my left eye whenever I'm out there. So I just got used to it from practice."

He should wear a Pirate Eye Patch with Bull horns on them.

Is there anything that's not wrong with Derrick Rose at this point?

Leave the guy alone, seriously. Getting elbowed in the eye could happen to anybody.

Considering everyone knows this now, shouldn't they drive past him on defense to the left? To get into his blind spot?

I was kinda hoping this article would tell me he'd start looking like Fetty Wap over the next few weeks.

Bulls should honestly do the right thing and just rest him.

I feel like he's only playing right now because of the pressure that's on him from missing alot of games in the past but this eye issue is no joke.

As long as he isn't risking further injury he should play. Bulls definitely would have lost without him. He is doing the right thing.
