The look on Joakim Noah’s face said more than anything he was thinking about saying.

When asked Tuesday afternoon if he and his Chicago Bulls teammates were told not to say anything regarding Derrick Rose’s recovery, Noah turned his head and smiled like a child who had just been caught stealing a cookie out of the jar. He didn’t say anything … but he didn’t have to.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau likes the way Rose is progressing and has obviously made it a point to keep information regarding Rose’s recovery at a minimum.
