Bulls motivated by rehabbing Rose

CHICAGO -- There are times when Taj Gibson has to catch himself. Like many people throughout the Chicago Bulls' organization, the forward looks over toward the bench and wonders what might have been -- what could still be.

CHICAGO -- Derrick Rose has started running on his own as he continues to work his way back from season-ending knee surgery, according to Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau.

Bulls rolling into All-Star break

CHICAGO -- Joakim Noah stopped himself. The question posed to him after the Chicago Bulls' 92-76 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday was whether he ever doubted that the Bulls could right themselves after losing Derrick Rose to a season-ending injury in November and falling to seven games under .500 in December. Noah hesitated for a moment after being asked the question, as if contemplating whether to tell the truth. He first went with the lie, then stopped himself and delivered his actual thoughts at the time.
