Derrick Rose was back on the court last night for the Bulls and naturally, his appearance drew a bunch of questions post-game for head coach Tom Thibodeau.
When asked asked about Rose’s play, Thibs offered a very interesting response; one that could be taken as either “I’m tired of talking about Rose’s injuries” or “Rose needs to stop getting hurt.”
Asked whether Rose looked fatigued in the second half of Monday’s game, something the 26-year-old discussed before Monday’s shootaround in regard to his muscle recovery after missing more than a week, Thibodeau chafed.
“Oh, I don’t know. Jesus. He’s got to get out there and play,” Thibodeau said. “I thought he did a lot of good things. You could see he’s not real comfortable with the ball yet, but that will come. When Derrick strings some games together, he’s going to take off. He’s got to go. That’s the bottom line. He’s got to go.”
