There's a video there and at the end it has the whole 110 % comment. When you see it, you'll going to laugh at how this is all overblown. He says it could be a couple of weeks, when he says next yr, it doesn't even finish it and says any day. watch the video, you'll see what I'm saying

Great story line. They already are planning on that return.
Just look at my sig. Look at his T-shirt. He wants to not only come back but wants to be ready right away and lead the team possibly win it all. He is determined. Thus his T-Shirt "Unfinished Business - 2012-13"
#TheReturn.
Just a hunch.

“If he’s ready,” the coach replied. “To me, it’s why we have taken the approach we have. There’s no timetable. It’s when he’s ready. We’re not measuring it against someone else’s timetable. This is Derrick. When he’s ready, he will go.”
"There is no end game in sight,'' Forman responded, when asked about the All-Star Game as being the date frequently thrown out there for a Rose return. "The next step was to get him on the floor where he's participating in practice and contact activities. So we're not skipping steps. Once we feel comfortable with that and our doctors feel comfortable, then we'll go to the next step. It's not about us being evasive with our answers.
"Everything has been planned out, in detail. That's why we're taking this step-by-step and not skipping steps. There's a process in place and we've never wanted to jump ahead.''
"We don't have the defined plan yet because Derrick is still progressing," Paxson said Friday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "The way he feels and what his body tells him is going to dictate how we do things. But I can tell you one thing -- and this is for certain -- he's going to have to have a high volume of practices and contact, and where he's comfortable on the floor doing things that he used to do naturally. And that takes some time and he's just starting that process now.
"We can't sit here today and say he's going to be back in three weeks or after the All-Star break. Those things are a hope, but his body is going to tell us and then when we get to that point, that's when we're going to have to sit down and determine, after we talk to our doctors and everything, then determine our game plan of minutes and how best to bring him back. We don't want to bring him back and then have a setback because he wasn't totally ready. We want this to be a progression where he comes back, he starts to play and every week he gets better and feels better."
"There's no date," Reinsdorf said during an interview with WGN-TV on Monday. "The doctors say that he's doing everything that he's supposed to be doing and there's no specific date.
"He's not going to come back until the doctors say unequivocally that he has no greater chance of getting hurt than any other player. If there's any risk, he's not coming back."

Ben wrote:I think that Derrick has missed 22% of his total possible regular-season games over his career.
By comparison, Hinrich has missed 12.4% of the possible games over his career (unless my count is wrong).
Many pretentious writers have begun to use the expression “orders of magnitude” without understanding what it means. The concept derives from the scientific notation of very large numbers in which each order of magnitude is ten times the previous one. When the bacteria in a flask have multiplied from some hundreds to some thousands, it is very handy to say that their numbers have increased by an order of magnitude, and when they have increased to some millions, that their numbers have increased by four orders of magnitude.
Number language generally confuses people. Many seem to suppose that a 100% increase must be pretty much the same as an increase by an order of magnitude, but in fact such an increase represents merely a doubling of quantity. A “hundredfold increase” is even bigger: one hundred times as much. If you don’t have a firm grasp on such concepts, it’s best to avoid the expression altogether. After all, “Our audience is ten times as big now as when the show opened” makes the same point more clearly than “Our audience has increased by an order of magnitude.”
Derrick Rose
It can be within a couple of weeks. It could be next year. It could be any day. It could be any time. It's just that I'm not coming back until I'm ready. With all the hard work I've been putting into my craft, I think I'm going to be OK. I'm not coming back until I'm 110%.....Right now, I'm probably in the high 80s

Will he able to be the same explosive player he was pre-injury? "For sure. I could do that right now," Rose said. "But I'm just being patient. You don't want to rush anything."
Ice Man wrote:PMONSTER wrote:Rose wants to be 110% and people he's done for the year.
It's mid February and Rose said that he's "far far away" from being ready to return. Nothing unreasonable about thinking he might be done. Unless you are arguing that it's unreasonable to take Rose at face value.

Heat are **** good no question. Better than we are yes. But there was also no one that thought the Heat would get beat by the Mavs in 2010 after the Heat smashed us in the ECF. Our team is better this year if Derrick can get back with 25 or so games left. Who knows what could happen. Not saying we could beat the Heat, but I am saying a series against them would be worth playing whether Bernstein wants to admit it or not. Bernstein doesn't watch the games, and when he does he just does it to critique. There wasn't one good point in his whole damn article. Everything he said was typical crap he would say. I actually like Bernstein he is hilarious but when it comes to current Bulls basketball and current NBA basketball, he doesn't have a clue. It is one thing to think we will lose to the Heat. It is another to forget that the games are PLAYED FOR A REASON.
There was nothing better than going into that series with the Heat back in 2010 feeling like we could win. That is what sports are all about. It was a tough finish but it was a huge moment for every player/coach on our team. Derrick WILL come back this year and we WILL see the Heat in the playoffs. We WILL scare the living **** out of them and if they don't play their best basketball WE WILL beat them. Bernstein can kiss my ass haha.

Everyone's on the same page. Well, except for the fans who want a date.
