Rose MVP and BEST PG in the League

Sir Charles

Barkley: Rose MVP

We're living on a prayer...

Anyone watching the Bulls' lately knows...they have not been playing great basketball. Well, as a team, the defense has been nothing short of spectacular. Offensively...well, let's just say the only more one-manned team with Boozer out is my intramural team.

I've been going to a lot of games lately (in spite of the lack of posts) and I wanted to share a few observations. 

From the Celtics game:

Derek Rose is the best guard in the NBA. Period. I know Kobe has proven more, Wade's pretty tough too, but I saw this man literally battle the Celtics BY HIMSELF. He knew when to take over. He knew when to go and remind us all of MJ. You could say it was a little like Sum 41 in the sense that it was a killer no filler.

I'm not quite ready to say he's better than LeBron, (and he's played MUCH better than Kobe this year, who looks like Jordan-light at the end of his career, except a much more inconsistent shooter), or KD, but Rose is the MVP so far, and I see no reason why it shouldn't continue. 

From the Cavaliers' game:

Rose is disgusting, but he needs some help in the form of another perimeter creator. How good would BG look next to him? About as good as Natalie Portman in every movie she's been in. (I'm thinking Star Wars Episode 2 with the ripped shirt).

The lack of effort against the good teams is disturbing, but I can't knock D.Rose for saving his effort for when they need him. Just please, someone step up. It seems like CJ Watson is occasionally the only thing representing an NBA scorer off the bench. 

From lately, I'd hate to say I told ya so but, KURT THOMAS IS THE BUSINESS. I've been a big fan since his days with the Knicks, and was pretty encouraged by his signing. When Joakim returns, we are in business now that Omer won't have to see the court anymore. 

In the spirit of Bill Murray, "Let's go Bullz"!
