That's probably because a lot of people don't see Boston beating Chicago. Chicago beat Boston in the season series 3-1, and Rose only played in one of those games. So Boston played a Rose-less Bulls 3 times this season and won only once. I know the playoffs are different, but the Bull's strength is the rebounding, which is the Celtics weakness.
I have a feeling that although Rose might be able to recover physically, he won't be there mentally. He strikes me as a bit of hypochondriac, which is probably had a bit to do with causing this injury. His injuries this season were all on his right side, which probably led to him intentionally exerting more on the left side.
