Derrick Rose Injured in Game 1
Highlights the importance of depth and maybe the opportunity will unearth another LIN or MILLS...
Got to look to positives I guess!
It didn't look like he did much wrong, what an unlucky injury, all the best in your recovery...

I reckon Miami will win the East & would have with a fit Rose as well. Lebron is such a great player!!

Unfortunate turn of events for Rose and the Bulls. I had them as favourites for the East before Rose's injuries started mounting up. Rose v Westbrook in the Finals would have been something to see!
Can't really blame the coach for a freak injury like that. Besides, the way it happened, he didn't appear to be putting the knee under unusual duress. I'd say there was a weakness there and if it didn't happen in this game, it probably would have happened in the next one anyway.
Probably won't be at his best for at least a year, but hopefully he comes back strong in the long-term.
Miami now the team to beat in the East, but I think they are vulnerable to Boston and Indy, because of their weak frontcourt. Still, those two have to get over ATL and ORL respectively and that is far from guaranteed at this stage!



I didn't, but I did jump on Memphis for the Western Conference Title @ $11!

Are these injuries a result of the compressed NBA schedule due to the lockout, or are they just horrible cases of bad luck?

After seeing Forestville play last night and the way they started the game, they showed very much why they are the defending champ just came up against a young group hungry for success.
West are very much a young group too and the forgotten group of the playoffs. Blake Truslove looks like he means business with a big game last night, so it makes for a good battle.
I still feel it will be a North v Forestville final so will say the eagles in this one by 7.
Peoples thoughts?
