Bullets Forever I, for one, like it when athletes are thoughtful, nuanced and honest. It makes for good discussion and it helps us think about what is really going through their heads. Bradley Beal is, based on all my interactions with him, a thoughtful, honest and nuanced young man. We shouldn't confuse dialect for intelligence, but Beal has a knack for conveying his thoughts well in public appearances. This was no different when 106.7 The Fan asked him about how he'd respond if he had a teammate like Derrick Rose that didn't come back from an injury in the intended timetable.

Blog a Bull There haven't been any real updates for a while on Rose, though we had fake ones up until just last week. But now it's over: everyone who had a report saying Rose was coming back was wrong. Every dope with hope looks silly.

After the inspiring adidas "Return" documentary advertorial that started the season of our discontent, and all the time wasted, I mean spent, monitoring and predicting and debating the date of Rose's return and then ruminating on the murky reasons why it didn't happen, it's mercifully over.
