Who's the MVP? I think it's Derrick Rose

This is one of the weaker MVP classes in memory which is partially why Rose has such a great chance to win, and right now, is probably the favorite.   Of course, winning an MVP in a weak class is kind of like being one of the more poor billionaires in the world.   It’s still... Read more »

Boozer dominates the Thunder in Bulls victory

Carlos Boozer scored 29 points on 13 of 21 shooting from the field fulfilling my pregame key of the game that he’d crush the Thunder inside the paint.  The Thunder had no answer to Boozer, and quite frankly, it’s ridiculous that he only went to the line four times as the refs bailed out Durant...

Bulls vs Thunder 7pm on CSN

The Bulls have played a lot of top tier competition this season, but what they haven’t done is win much against that top competition.   They have a win against the Mavericks, one against the Nuggets, and they beat a Blazers team that no longer looks like top shelf competition.   Otherwise, they’ve fought hard...

2010-2011 NBA award predictions

With the NBA kick season kicking off tomorrow, it’s prediction time.  As a fan, I always felt prediction threads were silly.  There are too many unpredictable variables that can sway a season.  I thought why would any writer try and subject themselves to such scrutiny over something that, if they could do successfully, they’d millions...

Kevin Durant becoming a Derrick Rose fan

From the Team USA Q&A: On the team in general and the camaraderie:It’s been more like brothers here.  Even though we have been together such a short time, it feels like everybody has been knowing each other for years and years.  We play against each other so we respect everybody’s game but I think that...
