Easier said than done. Dude is a beast.

Billups can't guard Rose.

I actually think you should let him go for fiddy and cover everyone else. There isn't one player on their team and I walk saying Rose makes him so much more a better player.

He relies heavily on his athleticism and mark my words if he gets a knee injury or just as he gets older you will see a dramatic decline in his production. The Bulls do not scare me they look like dog crap when Rose goes to the bench.

sounds a lot like what people used to say about Jordan.

bulls play ferocious D. they are well-coached. everyone knows their role. they have size. rose is the best PLAYER in the league. they are gonna make noise.

He puts everyone in a position to do what the do well the best that they can. He's a great player. Swap him for Chauncey and the Knicks are the favorite to win the title. He was a key piece on Team USA in Turkey, which is a big endorsement

Nobody compains about Carlos Boozer's defense. Their one dimensional three point shooters are quality there, where they'd be chuckers here.

Deng was getting busy in the playoffs with Skiles/Hinrich/Nocioni/Ben Gordon going up against the Heat pushing them to the limits and then sweeping them. He's been injured past couple of seasons

You can swap Billups out with a few pg's(CP3/Nash/Deron/Rondo/Lawson/Parker/WestBrook) and we probably fair better. Unless we played D, we'd still have problems. You can only score so much

Deron made Korver and Elite threat and Boozer was made before Chi-Town...everyone else just looks steady on their team while get nuts off.

All the Bulls are are operating at their peak. I think Thibs deserves credit, but so does the top guy. Teams assume the identity of their best player.

Let's swap one Rose out with another scoring point. How many games does Chicago win with Devin Harris running the point?

Rose is pretty much their whole attack offensively. The Bulls didn't do much when he wasn't in the game. I just think that the Bulls are a solid team, but not a spectacular one. If we are fortunate enough to get past the Celtics I think we'd be very competitive against the Bulls.

If is was that easy they wouldn't have won 60+gms. What they've been able to hang their hat on is DEFENSE...go look this word up in the dictionary and familiarize yourself with it. The best players will play the most minutes assuming the refs don't take hold on a series.

Doesn't mean they'll win it all but they have the best chance as any in the East.

D. Rose is alot like Marbury early in his career. Not as good of a facilatator, but bigger, better scorer.

D. Rose is not the MVP. He's not the best PG. He's the best player on the team with the best record, a team that has an average offense and a sick defense. He is like Allen Iverson in his MVP season.

The MVP award has never been the same sense Steve Nash won it twice. Its more like a flavor of the month award. The league likes to give the MVP to different players because its good marketing.

Is D. Rose more valuable to his team than D. Howard? Does he have better numbers than Lebron? Plug Deron Williams on that team and they do just as well. Maybe better.

Rose is a beast. He's not MVP.
