It is no secret that New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau and veteran point guard Derrick Rose have a very close relationship. Ever since Rose was acquired by the Knicks several weeks ago, the team has been on a tear, dominating lesser opposition and competing against some quality teams. However, the Knicks got a dose of what life without Rose looks like, being absolutely thrashed by the San Antonio Spurs, losing 119-93.
Since taking his talents to the city that never sleeps, Rose has averaged 12.5 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.6 total rebounds.
