Same could be said about the best players in the game: LeBron and D-Wade. Take the ball out of their hands and they might not even be in MVP consideration.

You must not be watching the series.

Bulls need a true PG. They should try to use Watson/Rose in the backcourt to put Rose in his natural position.
Why is Boozer playing the worst of his career against a middling defensive team? He doesn't have Deron obviously. Rose is simply incapable of making other guys better.

With his game tonight, for the playoffs, he's at 22 shots per game, shooting 35% on FGs and 17% on 3's (on 29 attempts), and only 6 assists per game/4 turnovers per game.
I really liked him (although it was affected by the Rose homers) in the regular season and looked forward to how he'd step it up in the playoffs, but I am just disgusted with his playoff performance and numbers. He's playing hella selfish out there and might actually be hurting his team a little bit. He could be playing a TON better.
They're the 1st seed FFS and yet their point differential with Indiana in 4 games is a measly +2.5, all very close games.
It's not even his 1st playoffs or anything, it's his 3rd.
All the talk about Rose leading the Bulls to wins and ****, I just don't see it. Bulls would be hella better off right now if he concentrated more on making plays instead of getting shots off. He seems way to concerned with making the shot himself and jacking threes right now.

Rose is a second tier star in this league.
That is very true. I totally agree with what you said but Rose played a huge part in the Bulls' victories in the first three games. He was clutch near the end of the game
Rose is shooting 35% in this series. You can plug Allen Iverson in there and he'd will them 3 wins against an 8th seed.

This is the PLAYOFFS. By the same logic a couple of playoff games shouldn't matter right?

Rose 4 MVP
WD wrote:Why would anyone be disappointed in a guy that has a bad game? Just don't understand the "what have you done for me in the last play/game" mentality. I am not a bulls fan, but I appreciate talent and rose is not a disappointment, he had a bad game, they lost..
UGA Hayes wrote:For me the issue is also context. I dont see how anyone could watch both the Orlando and and Chicago series and not realize, Bulls supporting players are much better than Orlando's and Howard is way better than people were giving him credit for, especially on offense where he has finally developed a very good post game, to the extent that if voters were just forced to watch Orlando and chicago during the regular season, I really doubt many would have given the MVP to Rose. I mean if you are going to acknwoldege that Dwight is the best defensive player in the game, second best rebounder, and that Rose is neither, and then realize That Dwight is arguably the most improved offensive player as well, then what else is there. I think the voters just don't want to admit that they didn't watch Orlando b/c they are boring.

1) Give Indy some credit for playing great defense.
2) The playoffs are not considered as part of the MVP voting. Its a regular season award--not a playoff award.
3) You're a Heat fan. Its not surprising you're Rose bashing.

They have zero to do with the reglar season MVP race. If you want to crown Lebron as the best playoff performer, go ahead. But he wasn't the MVP of the regular season, IMO, and in most people's opinion.
