Taj Gibson gave Bulls.com an update on Derrick Rose’s road to recovery:

“He’s improving quicker than people have expected him to improve. He’s in there every day and he’s pushing it to the limits every time I see him. I think he’ll come back even better than he was before … he’s already been pushing his legs and it’s great.”

“Don’t rush back too soon” and “Get well soon.”

Two competing sentiments. Reflection of a nimble mind.

We were hoping the jumped gun was just that. It’s not. Rose will also most likely miss the Olympics this summer. So have fun hate-watching the rest of these Playoffs.

 Amar’e Stoudimire Out Indefinitely With Bulging Disc

Disc. Not that other thing.

Dang! Luol Deng has a torn ligament in his non-shooting wrist. It is being described as a “week-to-week” injury for who Jeff Van Gundy calls one of the most underrated players in the league.

At 16-3 the Bulls have the best record in the NBA despite having played more games in the young season than any team other than the Lakers, and a rash of injuries that has caused Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Richard Hamilton, Taj Gibson, CJ Watson, and now Deng to miss games.

On the bright side maybe Ronnie Brewer will get some much deserved credit for his utility role and improved offensive game. And as Kelly Dwyer points out it gives Luol some much deserved time to rest and heal.

I don’t know what we imagine a “herniated dick” actually looks like—but it’s not making us feel good inside. This little whoopsie-daisy comes from the copy desk of the Charlotte Observer, where editors attempted to change “disc” to “disk.”

Baron Davis has a herniated WHAT!?!?!?

“Sad day 4 me.”

Damn, the kid just can’t catch a break.

Bumming. SRSLY. Bumming.

We no like. Cut this big guy a break, for once.
