When Derrick Roses loses himself to injury at the very first
game of the 2012 National Basketball Association Playoffs, it changed the fate
of his team and the entire competition on the Eastern Conference.
Chicago Bulls was known for a championship contender before,
especially when they had their MVP on their lineup. They even win games during
the time he’s at sick bay though. But the fact that this is playoff time, the intensity
level rises, players mature even and every one’s fighting at a higher risk.
Well, Rose had been badly hurt for some time this season,
but it so happened at this point of time; he got himself hitting an even
tougher proverbial wall, and that came before game 1 ends on a bad fall. And the
result? A torn ACL. And according to its team doctor Brian Cole, he’ll be out
until late January, the earliest. Which means a minimum of 8 months for its
recovery period, and it could even prolonged to 12 months.
Well, if I can remember very well, this injury almost halted
Shawn Livingston’s career then. The 6-foot-7 point guard of the Los Angeles
Clippers way back a mid-decade ago, was on the verge of rising until this
happened to him.
Well, when Rose loses, so were the Bulls. Well I think they
still have a chance of winning it, until Joakim Noah got hurt either. Philadelphia
had a surprise run at game 3 of their series at the 76ers home court which
turned everything totally upside down. And the icing on the cake – 2 free throws
at game 6. And the result? There. Another playoff upset!
When the Bulls lost, it changed the fate for the entire
Eastern conference playoffs. They looked upon them as a perennial team to
compete in the Eastern finals against another favorite Miami Heat. But when
Philadelphia eliminated them, it paved way for the other teams to have a fat chance
for the title. Well, let’s see on the coming weeks.
