Now that the NBA playoffs are underway, a star has now emerged to the spotlight. Derrick Rose. Everyone knew he was a good rookie, but no one knew that he was THAT good. In his first playoff game, he became only the second person in NBA history to score at least 35 points and 10 assist in game 1 against the defending NBA champions, Boston Celtics. He led the Bulls in a dramatic upset. Even though the Bulls lost game 2 in Boston, they managed to split homecourt advantage. Now Derrick Rose & Co. will go back home for game 3 where lately they have been 14-2 at home. Pretty impressive. I don't think the Celtics thought the Bulls had a grain of chance in defeating them, but now realization is starting to set in. They struggled to beat the Bulls in game 2, only by a last second shot, they don't have Kevin Garnett likely for the whole playoffs, Raja Rondo, their starting point guard, got banged up last game and is a little uneasy. Things in Boston seem to be unraveling, but only time will tell.
