Who in the East can be higher on the MVP ballot than D-Rose heading into the All-Star break? And, yes, I'd have posed the same question even before Rose's big games back-to-back on the road against D-Will and CP3.

Monday's loss in Portland was the Bulls' worst defensive game of the season, but the Blazers recovered to win in Utah and New Orleans with Derrick Rose outplaying both Deron Williams and Chris Paul. They're just a game in the loss column behind the Heat for second in the East and just two behind Boston for first.

Potential MVP Derrick Rose outdid Chris Paul as the Bulls scored another impressive road win over the weekend. They've won eight of 10 overall and are riding Rose towards the top of the standings. Should Miami or Boston falter -- and there's a lot of seas

One of the few criticisms leveled at Chicago this season is its weakness at shooting guard. True, starter Keith Bogans not only is reinforcing his career sub-40 shooting percentage, but he also hasn't made enough of an impact as a defensive specialist, according to Basketball Value. But the other two-thirds of the platoon, Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer, are frequently on the court together in crunch time (they form a three-man rotation with forward Luol Deng), and the Bulls lead the league in fourth-quarter scoring margin. The rest of the NBA should have such problems.
