The recent inconsistency with All-Star point guard Derrick Rose in and out of the lineup due to injuries makes New York Knicks backup Jared Jeffries believe that the Chicago Bulls are the better potential first-round matchup in the playoffs."I still think the Bulls," Jeffries said Friday afternoon on ESPN New York 1050's "Ruocco & Lundberg." "Whenever you can have an MVP candidate or former MVP player be out on the team, I think that's what you've got to go for. I mean, they're still playing very well without him, but I'm not sure over a seven-game series they can keep that high level of playing without Derrick Rose." Source: ESPN
Jared you are my boy and all but...ugh. lol. Knicks are playing better under Woodson but I don't think they will have much of a playoff shelf life. Hell the Bulls are playing great ball even without D-Rose. Bulls could sit DNP-Rose the entire series and still probably win that one.
