Rose talks leaving Nuggets' game

Last evening versus the Denver Nuggets Chicago Bulls F Derrick Rose felt that only after 10 minutes of action that he needed to take himself out of the game.  Rose stated the following as his reason for pulling himself when there was no new injury to his hamstring:

“It wasn’t nothing like I’m limping or I pulled it or anything, it wasn’t any of that,” Rose said. “It was just that I wasn’t moving the way I wanted to while I was on the floor. So why push through it when I wasn’t able to affect the game the way I wanted to? I came in here and talked to (Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau) and we both agreed on just sitting out.”

“It’s frustrating,” Rose said. “But you can’t let it get me down. I know that at the end (the setbacks) are just going to be minor but it’s a long season and we just got to keep going and I know the team, they’re not worried about me. I should be good.”
