Week 16, Derrick Rose

This past weekend, the NBA playoffs were underway. In game 1 of the Bulls vs 76ers. The game was fairly close all the way to the end. With about 1:10 to go in the game, the Bulls were up by 12, but the 76ers were on a roll. As point guard for Chicago, Derrick Rose, driving down the lane. He jump stopped, and his knee bent in just a bit, tearing his ACL and putting him out for the rest of the season. Many are asking why was Rose in the game. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2012-04-28/Derrick-Rose-injury-late-ruins-Bulls-win/54602588/1

Now why many take hits at Chicago's coach for keeping Rose in the game is for having Derrick Rose in that late. It was a smart decision to keep him in. The 76ers were starting a small roll, and the score was slowly decreasing for Chicago. Andre Iguadala, a guard for the 76ers said  "It's the playoffs. Some things happen at times. You can't fault a guy being in." He wasn't suprised Rose was still in the game. The criticts were taking huge shots at Tom Thibodeau for keeping Rose in. It is just a freak injury that can happen at any time. You can't control when it does and doesn't happen. It just happens. Rose should have stayed in the game untill the end to seal the victory for the Bulls (which they did win the game). It is a freak injury you can't really prevent, and the 76ers were on a roll. It was a smart decision to keep him in that late in the game.
