in the 29th game of the season. He went for ankle surgery not long after that. The Knicks’ record stood at 13-16 after that game. They are 20-26 since. Add in the five games Rose had missed earlier and the Knicks are 21-30 without him.
“Look, all teams have injuries,” Thibodeau said. “It gives other guys, younger guys, an opportunity and a chance to step up and I think our young guys have. You hope a veteran like Derrick attacks his rehab and serves as a role model for the younger players that way, and he definitely has.” The Bulls are still formidable. But they entered Madison Square Garden with a 16-18 record without Ball, their dynamic point guard, and half of the brilliant 1-2 free agency pickup last summer along with DeMar DeRosen. There is hope that the Bulls can get him back before the playoffs but they also halted his rehab last week.
