rose is a young elite player; of course he can play at this level for another year. as for defense, it's thibodeau's calling card and the bulls have good defensive players, so why is that going to drop off? I think that's an optimistic way of thinking, but I'm trying to be realistic here. Nobody expected this season from Chicago and I cant understand why people think I'm crazy that they revert back to being an average team. I can see them not being number 1 seed good again but I don't see anyway in hell they revert back to an average team. I understand being upset about the loss but this is a little overemotional
