Rose, O’Neal out today, Bass out 10 days

There are multiple reports out ther about injuries re-shaping todays game.  Here it is in a nutshell:

  • Derrick Rose (back) is out today
  • Jermaine O'Neal (shoulder) is out today and is day-to-day
  • Brandon Bass (knee) is out at least a week, probably 10 days
  • Keyon Dooling (hip) and Avery Bradley (shoulder) are active

I'm hoping Doc laid some smack down and informed the Celtics that losing to a Rose-less Bulls would re-open the "trade everyone" floodgates.  And the anti-Rondo movement lately is in overdrive.. so let's hope John Lucas doesn't have a big game or else it will get exponentially worse. 

Personally, I think you're all nuts if you think an All Star snub would derail this kid.  After all he done… playing through elbow and wrist injuries and constantly sacrificing his body… I think the treatment he gets sometimes is overboard.  He definitely deserves criticism, but for some reason with Rondo it's all-or-nothing.  

It would be nice to see a good game out of him today to end this noise.
