OHH The Chicago Bulls!!

As the Chicago Bulls are about to play their 3rd game vs. the Indiana Pacers here in the first round of the playoffs, Derrick Rose has emerged as one of the greatest point guards in the league.  He is the front runner  for the greatest award in the NBA, the Most Valuable Player.  About halfway through the season, people began to see and believe that Rose could win the award and his numbers were showing it.  As he averaged about 26 points per game, the Bulls were emerging as a contender for the top seed in the East.  Rose has played spectacular in the first two games vs. the Pacers and has arguably been the reason why they have won the games the way they did.  His quickness and leadership on the court has developed quicker than any other point guard in the NBA as this is his 3rd year in the league.  After seeing his ability to break down defenses as they come at him with double teams, reporters are placing him in the same picture as Michael Jordan when he led the Bulls to a Championship not too long ago.  This is a huge statement to make because not even Kobe Bryant or LeBron James has been compared to Jordan in the playoffs.  The way he has been the no doubt go-to scorer for his team makes him like Jordan was back in the day.  Most people think Rose, 22, will eventually screw up somewhere and not be able to lead his team the way he needs to, but with averaging 36 points and 7 assists in the first two games vs. the Pacers, it doesn't look like he is slowing down to me.  The Bulls as a team, show more heart and passion than any other team that I know of.  They don't blow out teams as the Lakers and Celtics do, but they find a way to win and Rose is a big part of that.
