Awesome job. Can I rock this?

Miami never gets cold Larry. Come on down.

Mother[expletive] Wisconsin.

[expletive] that ginger from Wisconsin.

So we're only 2 games behind Chicago, if we end up ahead of them come playoff time and LBJ has better stats, then what reason is there to have Rose ahead of LeBron?

What conference would you say is better right now in college basketball?

Way to take that completely out of context. Then again, I'm not surprised.

Awful quiet in here. Nice win over a playoff team from the Western Conference. If Boston loses tonight we'll move to a game behind them for the 2nd seed.

Nothing bother me more than seeing some dopey ass white guy dunk, hang on the rim and yell like he just clinched a birth in the final 4.

Wisconsin has the gayest team ever. No offense Badger fans.

LMAO @ the Bulls supporting cast being considered mediocre. Boozer, Noah and Deng are mediocre? C'mon now.

Williams shot is greatly underrated, especially from the perimeter. He's shooting like 60% from 3 this year having taken like 60 threes I think. His defense is also very good. I think he's a safe pick who will do a lot of things well for you guys opposite DeRozan. He's also a terrific rebounder for his size and unlike Michael, he isn't scared to be physical.

Brandon Knight!!

No one is talking about Wade as an MVP. Wade's MVP year went to LBJ. LeBron is putting up better numbers all around besides assists by .8 and is leading the league in PER while his team is only 3 or 3.5 games behind Rose's. You can't make a statistical argument that would favor Rose against LBJ.

Why? If one of them, or both(case can be made for Wade) are putting up better numbers than Rose why shouldn't he win MVP?

I get the Rose for MVP talk, but I think it's selling short the coaching Thibodeau has done this year. The reason why the Bulls are so tough to beat isn't just that Rose is a tremendous player, it's that he has that team playing ridiculously tough defense from top to bottom. The Bulls have a positive +/- even while Rose is on the bench. Their second unit keeps teams struggling to score, allowing the Bulls to be very, very good for 48 minutes. Nobody would say Rose is a top 5 defensive PG. That's not knocking him though as he's definitely improved this year under Thibodeau, but it's interesting that from a pure offensive standpoint, compared to past MVP's especially, he's not out of this world or even close to them. 2010 MVP: LBJ PER 31 (#1) 2009 MVP: LBJ PER 31 (#1) 2008 MVP: Kobe PER 24 (#7) 2007 MVP: Dirk PER 27 (#2) 2006 MVP: Nash PER 23 (#14) 2005 MVP: Nash PER 22 (#18) 2004 MVP: KG PER 29 (#1) Usually, MVP goes to a guy near the top of PER, mainly because it's been an offensive award for a long time now. Kobe's award in 2008 could've gone to either LBJ or CP3 and Nash's awards have been the most scrutinized MVP awards I can remember. 2011 MVP?: Derrick Rose PER 23 (#12) This isn't hating on Rose because his season has been amazing. Its just interesting where he stacks up compared to past MVPs.

Take Dwight off the Magic and what are they? Exactly, they'd be worse than Cleveland.

Brandon Knight is taking over early against WVU.

Williams is like the anti-Beasley. Only thing holding Michael Beasley back is Michael Beasley.

Irving is the easy answer for Toronto if they get the top pick. If not, then I really like Derrick Williams or Enes Kanter for you guys. Kanter is going to be a star IMO.

I've got 13/16 left in my Sweet 16 in my ESPN one. Haven't lost a game on the left side of the bracket either.

Question for the Rockets fans, how much does Patterson's emergence impact Scola's future with Houston? Gotta believe they'll look at trade options this off-season, no?

I think that makes it more remarkable that LeBron is still second in the league in scoring considering he's playing alongside Wade and Bosh. I'd say Dwight has done the most with less. That team is so horrible besides him its not even funny. But you can also easily make that case for Rose as well.
