Stupid Hornets getting me excited thinking maybe they can pull one out.

I really am loving Rose more and more. He is what a professional athlete should be like. Never giving up, always giving your all, and being a good role model.

Plus he wooped up the hornets with 32 pts, 9 assists, and 3 steals!

D Rose for MVP? this team is still on his back (ie. back problems )

If they get the best record in the league again, i think he deserves it. And you know he plays actually good defense when as soon as he went out, every point guard we play had a career night.

Actually, I agree with DRose said, so far I would say Kevin Durant deserves MVP. but there is still another half of the season. and rose is looking better than ever. Boozer and Noah are starting to learn how to play with each other. Taj and Lu just amaze me with their versatility. So we shall see. Like I said tho, jury is still out on Rip.

The one thing Chicago is shining in this season is wins on the road. Their road streak is somewhere above 11 just like the Heat. I think teams that perform better on the road show more chemistry-teamwork, endurance, and durability, 3 key ingredients that the Bulls defitnetley have.

I grew up a Mavs fan as we didn't have a team, but when the Hornets came to NO, I decided to split loyalties & get behind my local team. I'll always be a fan of both, really (which is hard considering they're in the same division, but my reasons are logical).

well the upshot is the Mavs are looking a little bit like their old self now. Playing with more intensity. They resemble the team we saw closer to the playoffs last season now.

I'm good with that "old self" & not the pre-2000 ""old self."

Looks like the masked man goes in on the Timberwolves, apparently Bryant got a broken nose and concussion from when D-Wade pounded him in the All Star game.

Wade has a lot of weight on him, and hes pretty strong, I don't think he intentionally meant to foul Kobe, but he sure did put a stop to him scoring. When I watched it live, I just saw Kobe rub his nose, didn't know it affected him all that much.

Edit: Now that I think about it I remember seeing Kobe drawing blood, still thought it was just a bloody nose, but I guess Wade really fouled him hard.

Novak.

Dude, Rose is the man. I've liked that kid since he hit the scene a couple years ago.

I'm pretty sure D.Wade said after the All-Star game that he wanted to throw a hard foul out there since he was fouled twice by Kobe then he back-tracked after he realized Kobe broke his nose and got a concussion.

LOL @ Lebron chocking again

Rose is good guy, I met him at a gym I play ball at and he's very laid back and easy going. He watched me play a league game which felt funny because usually i watch him Chicagoans in general are very proud of him and what he's accomplished while staying humble and true to himself.

I also work accross the street from the Berto Center (where bulls practice) so i see them all here and there.
