Ummm too little too late, the Bulls season is over. In Derrick Rose’s defense I don’t think him coming back would’ve propelled them past the Miami Heat, it would take time for him and the team to adjust. It is good to see he’s back to his old self, leaving us anxious for next season. Read more after the jump.
Welcome back, Derrick Rose. Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose’s speed and explosiveness are back to where the former MVP feels like himself again. “I worked him out about a week ago,” Thibodeau said in a phone conversation Thursday. “It was great.” Rose missed the entire season rehabbing from a torn ACL in his left knee suffered during last year’s playoffs.
His longer-than-expected absence, and the ensuing debate about it, was the overwhelming storyline during a challenging Bulls season that ended in a second-round loss to the Miami Heat. Last season is over, and Thibodeau is looking to the future. “Watching the way he’s moving now, there’s a confidence,” Thibodeau said. … “I think he’s there now. He feels great.”
