The race for MVP....

...is all but over. DRose took over the last two games near the end to push his team over the top. On Friday they played a tough Grizz squad who is trying to keep their 8th place playoff spot. The Bulls were down 4 with 6 minutes to go and the man couldn't be stopped. Rose made some clutch plays and hit some big FT's to get the lead with 2 minutes to play. Deng had a big time tip in, Korver hit a big 3, and then DRose made a ridiculous play on Gasol for the hoop and harm. Commence MVP chants followed by a comeback win.

Didn't watch the game on Saturday at the United Center North against the Bucks. Can't be happy when your opponents fan base packs your own home court chanting MVP for one of their players. Instead I watched a Hawks heart breaker against the Ducks. If you watched Squint's video he posted, I learned first hand that you don't fuck with the Ducks or Dawsons Creek. The silver lining was that I was getting texts from people saying how DRose was a monster and took over the game and pretty much made Brandon "Young Money" Jennings his bitch. DRose ended up with 30 points, 17 dimes, 6 MVP chants (scored/assisted the last 16 points) and still wasn't completely happy with the result. In a post game interview he states, "we haven't done shit" and won't be happy until he gets to the 2nd round. Hopefully he just said "2nd round" but really is thinking NBA finals. The man has a desire to get better and will never be complacent with where he's at now. Gotta respect that mindset. Bulls will try to hold their 2 game 1st place lead tonight against the 76ers at home. Hopefully we see more of this...
