Derrick Rose asks Isiah Thomas for some winning advice

Via Just Sports And Just Us  |  February 09, 2012

Via Chicago Tribune  |  February 13, 2012
Steve Rosenbloom: Derrick Rose missed the national TV game in Boston because of back spasms that racked him when he played against the pathetic Hornets last week, a game where the Bulls didn't need him, a game that might cost the Bulls the season.
