Today he said that it is still up in the air whether he will play in these playoffs or not. How could you not know by now? What is everyones thoughts - should he play, will he play? It can't be doing him any favours stringing people along.

He won't play unless the team is either in a game 6 or 7 with Miami, or they have already made it to ECF or Finals... 99.99% chance he doesn't play at all regardless though
Dude's a pussy. He's been medically cleared to play a while ago. Not being mentally ready? Give me a break. If he's not mentally ready to play, despite getting the all clear, he should not be getting paid, simple as that.

Hey Anon I can tell you my girlfriend is good friends with him and his mrs, they all grew up with him at school and she has told me Derek is still getting pain when he exerts himself. your correct about the mental side of things. atm he is still shooting with the team during warm ups and training, he is doing modest layups, but he cant step from side to side or leap extensively. He is no good to his team atm, that's how he feels. he wont beat anyone off a dribble, he has no explosiveness atm. The problem is he has been this way for sometime and hasn't got worse but hasn't got any better and the guy is so frustrated
Great to hear from you Sitiveni - how's pre selection for the upcoming election going, you all sorted and ready to fix the country?

The last thing from Rose's mouth was that he is completely ok except he doesn't have his "muscle memory".
Ie. he has to overthink a little to make certain moves that used to be second nature.
He said he isn't coming back until that's back. There is absolutely no reason why he can't play, he's just being super cautious.
You can't really blame him. But on the other hand you kinda think he should be good to go and is being overly conservative.
The way he plays the game makes him super injury prone IMO so maybe he's doing the right thing.

Anon polling has our seat 58% primary Vote and up to 65% 2 party preferred. Just cant wait to get in and start sacking public servants and working with Joe and Andrew Robb sorting out our budget and bringing my Right Wing policies into place.

Hey Statsheet give me your email address and ill send you pictures of us at his house having a BBQ. I will be back in Chicago on the 13th June, so im sure to see him again, ill be sure to take some more pics for u mate. I know you hold these guys up as Gods or something but he is just another guy like u and me.
Oh btw I have only met him once, its my girlfriend who is best friends with his mrs and they all grew up together, so ur right im not close to him but my girlfriend is. I think I mentioned that.

Maybe when Sitivini is Prime Minister he'll have pick up games with NBA stars like Obama does.
It's not possible sitiveni has met Rose? Why not? A US friend of mine knows the Zuckerberg family. They're just people. Rich and famous but still just people.
