honestly, the hate/critics comes with being considered among the best….every superstar goes through it.

Well get what you need but its clear that the haters are out against Rose and he has done a super job just being himself on and off the court. This kid is the next superstar growing right before your eyes and yet some still don’t think he is worthy imagine that..To the haters find a way to see his play not your opion ..Peace

The hate still goes on against Derrick Rose I cannot stand pat when i see this.this kid D Rose has only said once this year never brag or anything about being the MVP that he has worked hard to improve his game. Why can’t i be the MVP . yet the haters continue to pursue him with a heavy agenda making it there goal to discredit what he and the bulls have done thus far this year. when the haters peak they don’t mention he has had to adjust to 8 new players they don’t mention he also had Boozer and Noah out for like combine 55 games, that and he has carried the Bulls while they were out there is o argument there. This morning on espn there was a guy talking about LBJ being compared to MJ and Kobe. lol how can you compare him to either of them first of all LBj has never won a NBA championship nor in my opion will he LBJ does not have the killer instinct in him like either player , yeah he gets the regular season stats but does not his record reflect his play as does D Rose . All said the heat are so great yet they sit in third overall in the east. The haters all I can say is our MVp DRose lets his play do his talking and he says hit me with your best shot I can take it and he does and rises above it to the challenge and wins. MVP he is because he has made The Bulls #1 in the east second in the NBA and we are now a true title contender unlike when the year started all you heard was boston orlando but mostly heat btw lost to the Cavs last night got beat down.Either way I look at it haters are haters they just want to make our MVP seem less than because LBj takes more shots would love to see his shot to miss average to his made shots my guess that is lopsided and not on the side of made shots I know other players are playing good if not great this year but who has made more of an impact to his team this year than D Rose the leap he has made this being only his third year in the NBA lets face it people this kid is here to stay and his play is only gonna get better scary for those that have to play against him .Peace

the media is slowly turning CHI into MIA (before the season started)….it’s like a setup….everyone wants a MIA/LA finals…the consolation would be CHI/LA.

These guys have the Bulls as one of the top 4 2011 contenders with the best shot of having homecourt. Of course this was before last night's debacle...

I would like to point out an interesting tool on ESPN where it simulates the whole playoff brackets:

http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/predictions

I got some strange results, such as the Pacers winning the championship, the Knicks beating the Grizzlies in the Finals, etc. However, upon further examination, I noticed some cool tidbits:

In my experiences, the Thunder was the only team that never got upset in the first round.

The Knicks knocked the Celtics out of the first round 35% of the time.

Trail Blazers beat the Mavs 75% of the time.

Hornets beat the Lakers 20% of the time.

Magic made it out of the first round 90% of the time, and the Bulls made it out 85% of the time.

Every time the Bulls faced the Hawks in the second round, the Bulls won. 90% of the time the Bulls faced the Magic, the Bulls won.

Thunder beat the Spurs in the second round 50% of the time.

Every time the Hornets faced the Trail Blazers, the Hornets won.

Heat beat the Celtics 65% of the time.

Every time the Magic faced the Celtics, the Magic won.

Bulls knocked off the Celtics in 75% of their matchups.

Magic beat the Heat every time they faced off.

Mavs lost every time they were in the finals.

Every time the Pacers upset the Bulls, they also upset the Magic.

Every Lakers-Heat finals resulted in a Heat championship.

Every time the Bulls were in the finals, the Bulls won, except when facing the Lakers, which resulted in a Lakers championship 60% of the time.

@MV….lol, let’s not look ahead too far.

advancing beyond the 1st round would be a nice start.
