Recap from shootaround this morning, from KC Johnson:
For the second straight day, coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose is fine after logging close to 35 minutes on Monday in his return from missing five games with back spasms.
"He’s good, fine," Thibodeau said. "He did everything."
Watson suffered a mild concussion in Saturday's loss to the Nets when he ran into Kris Humphries. The NBA instituted a new policy in December. To be cleared, a player must first be free of symptoms, then remain symptom-free through increasing tests of exertion. Then, a league-hired neurologist must clear the player.
All things considered, fortunate timing for Watson as after tonight the Bulls don't play again until next Tuesday.
No word on how the league handles fan concussions self-induced from having to watch John Lucas III.

good news for bulls, Gooden torched bulls last game
K_yle33 - February 22, 2012
Gooden torched us?
Don’t remember that. Didnt blow them out last game…
T.Moore - February 22, 2012
iirc
gooden played great in both games against us so far. but doesn’t matter, our team got the W. :)
Jaina - February 22, 2012
I wouldn
DRoseO1 - February 22, 2012
Crap, stupid no delete
I wouldn’t say torched. We just kept fouling him. We usually play great D without fouling, but he’s been to the line 20 times against us.
DRoseO1 - February 22, 2012
I wouldn't say torched either,
Just because they lost.
But realistically he got whatever he wanted on the offensive end, it was embarrassing to watch even in a game we had completely wrapped up in the first 5 minutes.
Micdiddy - February 22, 2012
Hot Garbage played pretty well in garbage time vs. us
Prevenge - February 22, 2012
There are some good games coming up after the break.
Spurs, 76ers, Pacers, Magic, Knicks, and then the Heat on March 14. Also the Hornets, Cavs, Bucks, and Jazz as potential trap games. Let’s hope the Bulls come out of the break with everyone healthy and playing well. That means you, Rip Hamilton.
Tim S. - February 22, 2012
I'll be at the Spurs game...
…. I sure hope we roll over them , but it’ll be a back to back game for us.
3ptace - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Same here...
only Texas game this season. Hopefully Rip is back and we can see the Bulls going on all cylinders.
THEKILLERWHALE - February 22, 2012
Out of those touch matchups, I'd really love to see them beat the Sixers, Pacers and Knicks.
Sure, a win over the Heat would be great, too, but the Bulls need to send a message to those three teams.
ColonelFatheart - February 22, 2012
*tough*
Ugh. Need. Coffee.
ColonelFatheart - February 22, 2012
Hmm, I was gonna type about how that's stupid thinking, but then I realized just how badly I wanted to beat those three teams
Juiceboxjerry - February 22, 2012
The only way the Hornets at home is a trap game is if they put claymores in the Bulls' locker room
Juiceboxjerry - February 22, 2012
They lost to the Nets at home.
But that was without Rose, so barring injury, it will be a win.
Tim S. - February 23, 2012
Claymores lmao
T.Moore - February 24, 2012
Is it just me, or does the NBA's concussion policy seem far better then the NFLs
CJ Watson had to sit out cause of a migraine may be a sign of a mild concussion. If that were the NFL, he’d be back there within a few minutes.
The Voiss - February 22, 2012
NFL players are more willing
to lie to get back on the field. CJ may just be responding more truthfully.
kingj41 - February 22, 2012
not to mention nfl players have a week before games
since the headache its only been 3 days? 4 at most?
