Watched the Bulls/Pacers game this afternoon and WOW what an ending! Derrick Rose is having one hell of a season, if he doesn't win the MVP it'll be highway robbery.
I loved the energy in the arena at the end there, such an awesome thing to behold. I couldn't even imagine actually being there.

Not watching it, but the Hawks are really taking it to the Magic, 92-75
Jeez Dwight Howard has half of Orlando's points.

My damn Knicks are killing me. Can never seem to close out these games. They took too many bad shots down the stretch. It doesn't help that Billups had to leave the game late in the fourth also that offensive foul call on Anthony at the end of the game was bogus.

Rose will easily get the MVP, trust me on that.
To be honest the Lakers losing yesterday was a really bad sign.
For some strange reason I think the Heat aregoing to end up winning the title. That's if they all stay healthy and Wade isn't a guarantee for tonight.

That's if they all stay healthy and Wade isn't a guarantee for tonight. I agree with you 100% on Derrick Rose as being a MVP in the NBA this Season. IMO, the last game he won on his own mostly...in the final 10-15 minutes of the game. He is a awesome Point Guard and he will just get better and better. |

I forgot....has anyone else noticed how close all the NBA Play Off games are? These are some nail biting (no nail biting for me), tense, sitting on the edge of the couch games! They are just so close and the lead changing in the 4th quarter....dang! All have been really good games IMO. Haven't missed a single game yet.

Watching 2 NBA games is so hard to do. I'm mostly staying with the Spurs and flippin' the Channels over to the Oka. Thunder vs Denver Nuggets during the commercials.  Lovin' it! |

Looks like I'll have a Hat Trick tonight on my Picks. (if the Hornets win) The final game pick is close to Halftime and it's very close. I figured the Lakers "might" take this game at home but it's too tight and shouldn't be.   |

Wowzers, the the Hornets at the Lakers is dragging on. Maybe I'm just tired. lol 3rd Quarter of the game 2:00 left. NO 53 Lakers 61. Top of the 4th and the score is NO 56 Lakers 63. NO 78 Lakers 87. 2 out of 3 isn't too bad. IMO the Lakers will not make it too far into the Play Offs. IMO I watched the first 2 games played between these Teams and the Lakers struggled in both. I feel sure that Kobe & Phil would just love a Hat Trick by winning it all again this year. Good Luck to all of the Teams! |

IMO, the last game he won on his own mostly...in the final 10-15 minutes of the game. He is a awesome Point Guard and he will just get better and better. That is where I disagree. Roses game realllly relies on his physically abilities and he really doesn’t have a game that when his speed and quickness start to slow down he doesn’t have any one skill to fall back on. Take Michael Jordan for instance. He basically was a slasher early on in his career and was an athletic god. Then as he got older and slowed down a bit he started to rely on his jumper in the post area which was saving him energy but also still allowing him to score his points. Rose can’t and won’t be able to do that so is basically like an Allen Iverson where he will fade quicker than say a Kobe or MJ. I feel the same way about Lebron as well but he has size. |

Rose is very young. Young enough that he can improve his game. He very well could become a good outside shooter. Either way they won't have to worry about a quick decline for a long time. As for Lebron he is a hard worker and like you said he has size. I think he can still be very impactful even when not scoring because of that size coupled with his ball handling and passing skills.

Well Rose better get started on that quickly then. Yes he is young but all the shots he does get are because he is fucking quick as hell and creates them on his own. Once that quickness declines he will have to become a spot up shooter but like you said he still have a ways to go. Only 22 now (youngest to win MVP) so he has a solid 6 years of dominance if he stays healthy. |

You know these guys that are so talented and so good sometimes find a way to reinvent themselves. Yes maybe he won't be dominant but he can still be very good. Also I think he may have more then 6 years. By then he will be 28. I don't think he is going to drop like that at 28.

I say 8 years and around 30-31 is when you will definitely see a decline. But, as of right now the guy is flat out amazing. |

I'm hoping the Mavs pull it off. I don't watch basketball all that much just can't into it. But it just seems like Drik's time to finally get that ring.
