Derrick Rose is sidelined until he recovers from his torn ACL injury, but knowing what we know of him and his competitive nature, he’s stewing on the chance to come back and help he Bulls to a title win.
You can’t help but believe that as he works out and rehabs, he’s pushing himself with his heart full of incentives and that the ultimate goal of winning a title burns within for various reasons.
Based on what we know of Rose, there are many things both on and off the court which are motivating him right now. After all, this is a man who needs little excuse to find a motivation to win. He once held onto two missed free throws for a year before exacting his revenge on the Clippers.
He only dominated Chris Paul in one of the finest games of his career, and poor Paul wasn’t even a Clipper then.
No, he’ll find any little reason to motivate him, but that doesn’t mean he finds only little reasons. There are some big ones too.

Blake Griffin didn’t shoot, and Chris Paul was pissed.
Paul is in the business of finding open shots for teammates. It’s a vocation he loves, performs better than anyone alive and even delivered a manifesto on the subject on Saturday after the Clippers’ win over Chicago.
“My job as a point guard is to make the other team think I’m trying to score,” Paul said.

It’s a little disarming. There’s no talk of supernatural curses that cause freak injuries, or Vinny Del Negro’s job security, or whether pending free agent Chris Paul will bolt for greener pastures at season’s end.
Instead, the Clippers have been quietly going about their business.

DeAndre Jordan had 20 points and 11 rebounds, giving the Clippers half of a dominant frontcourt duo.
LOS ANGELES — Long before Chris Paul landed on their doorstep last December, the Clippers had a blueprint for what they wanted to build in Los Angeles.
The pillars of that design were two freakishly athletic big men, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They were relatively unpolished, but if they could harness skills to pair with that raw talent, they could anchor a frontcourt that could jump higher, run faster, dunk harder and defend with more speed than any frontcourt in the NBA.
