Minimum 8-Pete: Five Game Wrap (Games 53-57)

The Bulls had one of their better five game stretches when they beat two (San Antonio and Miami) of the top six seeds in the league. These statement wins were televised nationally showcasing the team itself; but maybe more importantly the nation was able to see Derrick Rose pump up his MVP resume. The third year player out of Memphis scored a total of 68 points, and dished out 14 assists in the two games (he also started the first All Star game of his career between these must see showdowns).

The Madhouse: Our Guy

Tonight, we will see the first Bull start in the All-Star game in 13 years. Derrick Rose does not just find himself this weekend as an All-Star starter, but the focus of considerable attention around the nation, especially in the MVP discussion. No one could be more deserving of all of the attention, columns and accolades. And through all of this, Derrick has stayed true to himself, not allowing any of the attention to change who he is. And who is he exactly? He is our guy.

Minimum 8-Peat: Five Game Wrap (Games 48-52)

The Bulls pushed their record to 36-16 overall with a 3-2 road trip while Disney on Ice occupied the United Center. They currently sit atop the Central Division just 2.5 games behind Boston for the top seed in the Eastern Conference (if the playoffs started today they would be the three seed matched up against the New York Knicks). Side note: what’s more impressive, the Bulls being undefeated in the Central or the T’Wolves going winless thus far in the Northwest?
