Derrick Rose and company have the ability to clinch the title fight this year – NBA Play-offs
The Chicago Bulls earned the advantage of their home court throughout the National Basketball Association playoffs as a result of ending up with the league’s best record. The Bulls marched their way convincingly into the play-offs following their ninth straight
win against the New Jersey Nets in their last regular season game.
On the other hand, the San Antonio Spurs lost to the Phoenix Suns and dropped the honour of being the NBA’s top team.
For the Bulls, this year is turning out to be a complete success after a dominating regular season. Accompanied with the brilliance of the head coach Tom Thibodeau and the formidable spark of the All-Star Derrick Rose, the team is determined to nab the championship
title. The line-up is packed with the potential to prevail in the finals and will face the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the post-season.
The Bulls have all the talent and ability to take on the toughest contenders for the title fight in the play-offs.
Derrick Rose is a big reason for the Bulls to be considered as the championship favourites. His emergence as a Most Valuable Player contender assisted the Bulls to enjoy their best season since the Michael Jordan Championship Era. Rose is one of the few
outstanding basketball players who have escorted the team on the top alone. He racked up a career-high 42 opposing the Spurs and has shown his incredible ability to dominate any opposition on a given day.
At this point, the All-Star Rose stands at the top of the list for the MVP player award.
The Coach Tom Thibodeau is the second biggest reason for Chicago to carry the reputation of the toughest team. Any Championship team needs a leader who leads from the front and motivates his men. This is what coach Thibodeau does.
In his first year with the team, Thibodeau is doing a splendid job to ensure the line-up is performing. He believes in the players and provides them with great confidence and passion to dream big. That is why each player knows his responsibility and strives
to achieve their goals for the success of the squad.
Team defence was one of the major problems the line-up was struggling with. On the verge of improving their defence, the franchise has managed to convert their weakness into a bigger threat. Thibodeau picked Rose and Carlos Boozer as they protect the rim
like a giant. Rose is always firing on all cylinders and propels fireworks on the front court, as he supports the defensive line in the back court.
Team chemistry is one of the best strengths for any team that can haunt the opposition at any situation. The Bulls were seen jumping around and cherishing each moment in the recent games, showing their effective team chemistry building. A slow start of the
season did not let the team down, as the guys have motivated each other on and off the court to become the best team in the NBA.
Bench play is what counts the most when competing against the best of the best. Having an advantage of great depth on their bench, Chicago dominated the opposition in the regular season. Rookie Omer Asik and Ronnie Brewer share an incredible ability to restrict
the opposition in the crucial moments to gain any sort of momentum. C. J. Watson has the ability of some blistering shooting who is underestimated at times and supplies an absolute shock to the opposition.
The play-offs are going to be vigorous as every team will be looking forward to provide their best. If the Bulls can manage to carry the action in the play-offs as well, the combination certainly has the spark to outshine anyone.
