I know there's national talk about Rose not wanting to play, but I don't buy it. I just don't think he's physically capable anymore.
I don't think Rose should be getting all the grief he's been getting. And for Shaq, mr. company time to get on him is hypocritical. Rose has always played balls to the wall. It's not like he mails in performances.
I like Rose, and in the past when he spoke about Chicago, you could tell how much the city means to him. I believe there was one time specifically that he cried. I think he feels like he's got the weight of the city on his shoulders, with his contract especially. I think think the only comfort he can take is that Jay Cutler is soaking up most of the hate Chicago fans have right now.
