Derrick Rose has been the MVP thus far in this season. There is no way in hell Chicago should be 38-16 right not with Noah missing 27 games and Boozer missing another 17 games. Rose has been averaging 25ppg, 8 ast, and 4rebs. Number wise he is close to Lebron, who is averaging 26ppg, 7ast, and 7 rebs, and getting just as many steals and blocks (by the way, Lebron is getting only 0.59 blocks and Rose has been at 0.68). Plus, he's outplayed both Chris Paul and Deron Williams on their home court, winning those games. Also Rose has improved his outside shooting, especially the 3 ball, however he's still only shooting 45% from the field overall. I said this last year, "if Rose got a J, forgetttaaa bout it, he'll be MVP...". well guess what, he improved his J and now he is MVP, thus far.
As far as Chicago being a legit title contender, I definitely think they are in the conversation. Their road record is 13-12, which isn't strong as compared to Miami's 15-9 and Bostons 15-8, but what's a couple losses going this way or another?
Thank you Moe. You finally drop all your ignant views and decide to reflect upon the truth.
ReplyDeleteExactly like you said-there is no way in HELL they should be 38 and 16 right now (I think they won 40 games last year) and the first reason for that is D Rose becoming a general rather than someone who's just a scoring machine.
To divert topics-can you let me know what happened with Jerry Sloan???
