Terrible officiating tonight by the refs, but I'm blaming the loss on three things: 1. Andray Blatche 2. Nick Young 3. Free Throws

Great play by Wall to end the third. One more quarter to go!!!

Blatche has taken some terrible shots so far, and is 1/10...Nick Young on the other hand has got some nice looks, but just can't get it to fall. Solid half so far, Shard, Yi, and Wall have played well so far.

Learn how to read HOV, then come back to me. You completely misinterpreted RD's post.

Damn what a mix up, Adam Shefter is slackin on Twitter. Either way, Troy deserves the award just as much as Clay.

Lol sometimes he is, but he's way more annoying than he is funny IMO. Jeff Van Gundy can say some retarded things, but he's actually funny and does a good job balancing out the two. Stephen A. Smith doesn't fit that category if you ask me.

LMAO. So you don't know which athletes sign or don't sign autographs, but you know not all of them do. Great logic there bro. I don't think anyone has said that.

I just don't like him, I hate it when he screams, and he's not exactly the smartest analyst out there. Him and Skip Bayless are probably the worst.

JaVale finally coming back after missing 5 games, but he won't be starting. Let's see how Booker plays against Dirk.

1. NBA Playoffs and Finals 2. Super Bowl and NFL playoffs 3. NCAA March Madness 4. NFL Regular Season Opener 5. World Cup 6. Olympics 7. NBA All Star Weekend 8. College Bowl Season 9. NHL Playoffs

Ray Allen is just as clutch.

I like your list, but I think you're forgetting Rondo. He definitely deserves to be mentioned amongst those players. And I'll throw in Duncan and KG into the conversation as well.

You got two seconds left, down by 3, who are you giving the ball to?

Hey now, don't hate, he played great today. And I'm sure he thanked Jay Cutler for getting him into the Pro Bowl.

Raja Bell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNN9ZiH38fs&feature=player_embedded Kirleinko and Ginobili are probably the worst though.

Redskins taking over. DeAngelo Hall for MVP!

Rose has the drive and the influence that a lot of people still can't seem to see. The kid is the real thing, and he continues to get better. If he hadn't worked on his 3 point shot then you'd still see him around 47% from the field amongst all other things. Either way, stats don't totally show what this kid does for the Bulls and their fans. He fights and refuses to give up. He runs an offense as well as anyone in the league right now. You're talking as if it is a landslide, LeBron isn't far and away their best offensive player. And I haven't even mentioned that Bosh has been playing like a borderline all star as well, he's averaging a respectable 18PPG. The trio is the best in the league offensively, and I don't think it's even close. Rose losing two key rotational players for half of the season thus far is HUGE, much worse than just losing Wade a few games here and there or losing Haslem. How exactly is he more effective than Rose? Because his numbers say so? Rose has ran the offense completely, there's not a single distributer on that team other than him, and he's been their only closer as well. He's been more valuable to that offense, while also being an improved defender. So let me get this straight. You're going to ignore the Heat struggling against under .500 teams but are going to discredit the Bulls for playing easy teams the past 2 months? He doesn't deserve it over a player who has had two key starters out for half of the season so far respectively and has still led his team to a top 3 record in the East.

Lakers ball movement was atrocious. So much ball stopping They have now lost by double digits to the Heat, Spurs, and Celtics (two of those coming at home), and they happen to be their main competition if they want to win the title. I'm a little skeptical as to how turned in they are right now, that attitude does have a tendency to carry over at the worst possible time.

But the difference here is, no one on the Bulls is playing like Dwyane Wade, a top 3 player in this league right behind his teammate, LeBron. You're right, Noah and Boozer both have played better than Bosh, but Wade is the difference maker in this debate. You can't just single LeBron out and say he's more valuable to the team. Yeah he's been the most consistent player on the Heat this season, but the last two months Wade has been on fire. The records won't matter as long as the Bulls are close to the Heat in the standings. You're putting too much emphasis on that and completely ignoring the fact that Rose has probably been the most consistent player in the league right now. He's missed one game this season and is the clear cut leader of that Chicago team. As good as the Heat have been this season, they're under .500 against teams with a losing record, and are 3-8 in games decided by 5 points or less. In this day and age, a player playing with 2 other stars will not get the MVP award. RD said it best.

Great pass by Rondo to Pierce, what a nice look.

I like how Rondo is not hesitating with his jumper, but that airball was just embarrassing.

Celtics better take advantage of Bynum having 4 fouls, no more second chance opportunities by the Lakers.
