Chicago Bulls: Derrick Rose out for season after tearing ACL in Game 1 win Saturday's Game 1 win was marred by the sight of Derrick Rose crumpling to the ground, clutching his left knee, and being helped to the locker room by both trainers. Rose hurt his knee as he came to a jump stop with just over a minute remaining on a pass to Carlos Boozer. Around two hours after the games, the Bulls announced that Derrick Rose tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and is out for the remainder of the season. Rose left the United Center for Rush University Medical Center, where he had an MRI. Asked why Rose was in the game so late in the fourth quarter of an apparent victory, coach Tom Thibodeau said:" I don't work backwards like you guys. The score was going the other way. In game news, the Bulls cruised to a 103-91 win over the 76ers with five players in double figures. Rose narrowly missed a triple double with 23 points, nine rebounds and nine ssists and Richard Hamilton added 19 points to lead the Bulls. Seventy-eight percent of teams that have won Game 1 in a best-of-seven series have gone on to win. Game 2 is Tuesday night at the United Center. "I hope he's not seriously hurt," 76ers coach Doug Collins said after the game. I admire him so much. I think he's one of the young, bright lights in this NBA. And I hope he's going to be back and he's going to be able to play, because I admire greatness, and he's a great player. Rose missed six of his first seven shots, including an air ball at the first-quarter buzzer, before closing the first half strong. Elton Brand's 19 points led the 76ers, who shot just 39.8 percent. The game turned more physical in the third quarter when Evan Turner and Carlos Boozer became entangled. Turner got whistled for a personal foul and Brand, Hamilton and Rose drew technical fouls for pushing and arguing during the ensuing skirmish. "Good so far," coach Tom Thibodeau said, when asked how Rose is feeling before the game. Rose missed 27 games with five separate injuries during the regular season. He started alongside Hamilton, Luol Deng, Boozer and Joakim Noah. That unit started just 15 games together during the regular season, going 13-2. The Bulls won two of three regular-season meetings with Philadelphia. "This year, it's different because you didn't have the same amount of time to prepare," Thibodeau said of the one-day break between the regular season and playoffs. It's basically a continuation of the regular season. The biggest difference also in the playoffs is you're playing the same team over and over again. There's not a big difference between any of the seeds. If you're good enough to make the playoffs, you're a good team. Their speed and quickness is something you have to deal with. We have great flexibility with our bench as well. Your matchups are critical. They're a gamble, strip team. They turn you over and can convert quickly. Twitter @kcjhoop
