was well displayed but could not enough for their team who were coming into the competition with huge confidence and a sudden lost were certainly a shocking experience for entire team.
The Bulls point guard Derrick Rose was all alone on one end as they faced many difficult games in the post season. No one else from the Bulls roster rose above the game and helped his teammate in difficult situations. This offseason,
the Bulls management is trying their best to do something special regarding drawing a persistent strategy for their team to do well in the upcoming season.

regular season and went through to the next level. The post NBA season also proved wonderful for him as the Heat never showed any loop holes in their game and persistently advanced ahead in the competition. But in the end they faced the Dallas Mavericks in
