That was exhilarating. Holy ****. Rose is the F**king man. It is unbelievably nerve wracking watching him play as others have said, but oh man, he looks stronger and quicker than ever. 210 lbs 5 percent body fat? sounds good to me. the dude is BEASTLY right now.

Really? It seems to me its Plumlee winning that matchup despite being terribly overmatched.

He was giving effort, I will give him that, and he would occasionally win a 50-50, but Cousins was pushing him around like he was a little boy on both ends.

As for the Paul George injury: It was gruesome, and he's going to be out for quite a while (usually 6-8 months for a compound fracture in the leg) but there's no reason he shouldn't make a full recovery. I feel awful for the guy, but he'll be back (and probably better than ever).

Do you think these players will continue to play? I assume they might just do this one for PG but after that not so sure

They will definitely finish what they started this summer. The future though...its up in the air.

They most likely will. What happened to PG was horrible, but he isn't dead.

And yet he has never been injured landing - funny that.

I don't understand this statement.

As far as I recall Derrick suffered his two injuries playing for the Chicago Bulls. If anything, he should plays his heart at now, and then remain cautious when the regular season starts. Does it make it better that he injures himself again wearing the Bulls jersey as opposed to the USA jersey?

People need to quit this defeatist mindset. It was a freak accident, just like Derrick's - it's what being a professional athlete is about, you're putting your body through extreme stress levels and your prone to injure more than the regular folk. Whether it be pick up basketball, representing your country or your league, it doesn't differ the probability in which you'll get injured.

It's probably a good thing for Derrick to have this moment come back to his mind, so he can't shun away his own experiences to the back of his mind. He needs to face that it's just a part of sport and face the challenges head on. You start playing with fear and hesitation, than you're likely opening yourself up for more injuries.

Agreed with what you say, but to answer the bold part.....OF COURSE!!!! He's a Chicago Bull first and foremost. If he were to get hurt, you'd rather it be for the top cause of why he's playing basketball and for who is paying him. So yes.

Seriously? Why is everyone freaking out because PG went down with an injury? Did the league stop playing when Derrick went down? Did players start to question their style of play? C'mon guys, this is sports, this type of things happen every so often, it just seems people are horrified due to how the injury looked and how gruesome it was. But the truth is, there are more extreme injuries that happen, which are much more serious than PG's which don't look as gruesome upon viewing them, but have vastly more dire consequences.

Yes, it should be acknowledged that a really good player went down, and people should wish him well, but lets not pretend that the guy died playing basketball and that all these players need to start taking it easy, and stop playing basketball all together. Lets stop this nonsense, and stop being so damn ridiculous.

Are you part of the ownership that is footing Derrick's bill or something? He is a human being who is under contract for an organization, not some damn piece of property. Just like with all the other players, they have a team and players agreement to allow them to play for their country, knowing that there is a chance that injuries can happen, not sure how being injured for your team or your country is any better or worse, that's not logical at all.

Heck, going by your logic, being that he has been injured twice already as a Chicago Bulls, so he has been very much a team first player right? Good for Derrick, what a true team player!
