I don’t think D Rose has haters, I think he has a lot of people who don’t want to get too excited about his RETURN until he can stay healthy for an entire season. There is nothing wrong with that train of thought, but if the imaginary haters in his head are motivation for him, that’s good for Bulls.
Here is what Rose had to say after the Bulls blowout win over the Knicks via the Chicago Tribune.
“I wouldn’t say my rust is knocked off, but it’s getting there,” Rose said. “I can’t be content with how I’m performing. I have to put it behind me whether it’s good or bad and make sure I stay consistent with my workouts. Physically, I feel good.
“I can’t get caught up in (proving doubters wrong). I let my game speak for itself. I don’t like to say too much about my haters. But you should be able to tell by the way that I work that I’ve been in the gym every day really working hard on my craft.”
