    Rose is pretty atrocious on defense. Dude was getting owned by Jeff ****ing Teague.

    Rose is simply destroying the Hawks. A bulls Team like this can beat the Heat, with that amazing defense and superstar level point.

    Look at the Rockets.

    They are built pretty similar. The Bulls focus on one star and have a solid team around that star...just like the Rockets instead that Yao is always hurt. I think they'd be in a similar position.

    A solid competitive team.

    rose is NOT going to shoot like this every night so calm down. there's a reason he shoots 44% for the year.


    he's shooting 37% in the playoffs before this game, and if i remember correctly, their playoff record is 5-2. so yes, the bulls would still be "ok" w/o rose. they won't be a top 3-4 team, but they'll make the playoffs.

    Wow, Rose is sooooo damn good today. Amazing all around game and I'm one of the person who thought he didn't deserve MVP. He would be the best player in the league if he can bring his effeciency up.

    this was the best game of rose's career easily. great game from him. do hope he can be more consistent offensively if the bulls are to achieve more.
