By masud Go To PostI was really concerned that Phil was going to sign Rose to an extension.lol like that's off the deck 😂
🤣
Lol @ Rose booking it home after shootaround, sounds like a family emergency minus the fact he won't speak to anyone but Noah.
By p s y Go To PostSo weird seeing a SomethingAwful forum .gif outside of their forums.

as an aside, I don't believe shit Ramona Shelburne says anymore
but Rose been fucking up his money for a whole calendar year

I mean it actually makes more sense than a lot of the stories. He goes back to his hometown to see to sick family, fucked up family news could lead to the rest of the team reacting like they did in game cause if the news bad enough it fucks with you even if you are just cool with the person. Also explains why nobody on the team wants to clarify whats going on, especially is Rose didn't want the media turning his family issue into 24/7 news right after it happened.

gerald green was coked out of his mind, brawling in miami and still was in the loop with his team the whole time
tyrus thomas by all accounts had his ass beat by paul silas and showed up to work the next day
By Tea Go To PostA family emergency would easily have some PR with it wouldn't it?And it wouldn't be something you don't tell your team for four hours.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To Post
If this is true …… All of you aint shit for the jokes…..
lol I wish I could just hop on a plane fly home and take a cab or limo or whatever from the airport and never contact my work and tell them I had family stuff and it would be all good..
The better question is why wouldn't you??? Why wait four hours? Cause your agent thought of it for you?
Because he didn't hit his team up first and lay down the standard family/injury/flu-like symptoms, he's about to have TMZ all up his ass again
NY media went ham over Odell and Amare picking fights with the locker room walls. D Rose better have the whole squad on the same page, reading from notecards that he absolutely didn't write himself.

Where in the world is Derrick Rose?
What are we learning here? At least Miss Sandiego taught me some geography.
By Fenderputty Go To PostWhat are we learning here? At least Miss Sandiego taught me some geography.Not gonna lie, I quickly skimmed your post and read "pornography".
You know
I actually do hope its just Rose being crazy. I just remembered that Marbury story of the Knicks not telling him about his father's condition during a game.

This should be the default position, really. It would mean nobody is hurt or dying or in some serious shit
Seems like they knew he had an emergency and didn't want to tell the press. Hornacek repeatedly told the press they want to respect Rose's wishes or something along those lines and to stop asking. Probably best, since NY media is relentless and would track him down in Chicago instantly, getting in the way of some kind of issue.
Hornacek didn't say that, he said he didn't know where he was, that he hadn't heard from him, and several teammates said the same thing and they
hoped he was ok. It wasn't until Noah spoke up that they knew he was okay.

"Right now we don’t have information to give you anything. That’s just going to have to wait until we hear from Derrick himself. We’re not going to go into it. Everything will become clear later on."

Nah, he said "everything will become clear later on. We want to respect what he's going through, we're just not gonna comment on it now". They know, they're just not talking to the press about it. It's definitely a private matter.
Edit: The above quote conveniently leaves out the part I didn't. #unfairpress. #sad
I am don trolling to the Knicks....they been through enough...plus their message board is depressing.
By reilo Go To PostThe quote flat out says they didn't hear from him and Woj said the same thing, but ok.
Fuck a quote bro. Here's Hornacek actually saying exactly what I wrote down. He specifically said he's going to respect what he's going through.

I've gone dark for hours too. My first thought during a crisis was not to inform co-workers and shit. It was to get to wherever I was going and process a ton of shit in my head. I think everyone's jumping to conclusions like crazy.

Ima just end this by quoting Woj:
But believe the PR spin if you wish
New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose did not attend the team’s 110-96 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, which, league sources told The Vertical, was a surprise to Knicks officials.
Team officials were unable to reach Rose by phone – nor get answers from his closest confidants – in the immediate time prior to the opening tip, league sources told The Vertical.
Beyond Knicks officials, some close associates of Rose were unable to reach him on Monday, sources told The Vertical.
Rose typically arrives at 5:30 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. ET start, teammates say, and Rose hadn’t informed anyone with the Knicks that he might be late – or miss the game altogether, sources said.

Your hatred has consumed you. If he flew home immediately, planes often times have downed wifi. Just wait and see.
If he comes in tomorrow and says someone died, that shit won't be a PR spin. That'll be real. If he never addresses it or brings up some nonsense, then we'll know. But for now, I'm giving the man the benefit.

The Knicks didn't know where he was as of game time. Several players and the coach said as much. If they were trying to help Rose keep the situation private making up an official lie would have been far less conspicuous than "dude's missing".
Dudes can text from prison but he can't text his agent before take off because apparently airports operate on rotary phones.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostYour hatred has consumed you. If he flew home immediately, planes often times have downed wifi. Just wait and see.Even in a death, there is time to tell someone something.. like in the airport BEFORE the flight, or AFTER it.. I mean I know how it is to be far from family and if something happens you want to drop everything and go back home but let's not pretend he had no chance to connect somebody..

By DY_nasty Go To PostAminu could've stopped thislol
My guess is that Rose was told before tipoff that he's coming off the bench tonight to try a new lineup, and then he ditched.
