It will be October 5th for a preseason matchup with Central Division rivals, the Indiana Pacers. Rose has already committed to be ready and 100%, however it will be DRose's regular season return that will be #theReturn Chicago has anticipated for over a year now.
#theReturn of DRose in the regular season will be an Eastern Conference slugfest against Lebron and the Miami Heat. |
Not only will DRose make his regular season return, he will do it against the team that stands in the way of him leading the Chicago Bulls back to the NBA Championship: the Miami Heat.
And despite the Miami Heat receiving their 2013 NBA Championship rings that night, the hungry Chicago Bulls, and their returning leader, will make this night a statement game.
All-star Joakim Noah and Jimmy Butler, the Bulls' new starting SG, have both stated that they hate the Miami Heat and they want to keep them from winning another championship. These are words that would delight any hardcore Chicago Bulls fan.
But if you're not hyped about this matchup yet, check out this recent footage that proves that DRose is back! (Yes, that is him going under the leg for a leisurely dunk...)
