who has hit bigger shots than him this season? he is your rookie of the year for sure.

He wins ROY

2nd Dwight Howard

3rd Emeka Okafor

I hope so, I put odds at the beginning of the year and got dough on Howard and Emeka but almost none on Big Ben.

Amazing how clutch this guy is for a rookie.

Cubsmac · Mar 30, 2005

Huge game tonight for him....22 points in the 4th quarter alone....Bulls get a big road win without Curry and Hinrich...without Gordon tonight, Bulls arent even close. Huge shots down the stretch to keep them right in it, and then the dagger 3's at the end. He is amazing.

Hate to tell you Blue, but the only way the Bulls can get to the NBA Finals is if someone knocks out Miami for them. Would be fun to see, though.

The guy has been nothing but nylon and does all this without breaking a sweat.

Loved that shot with no time on the clock that took it to 3 :103631605

Shaq has been injured several times throughout his career. Chicago winning east is worth the odds being given.

I unfortunately had the Bulls -3, so I was not a fan of that meaningless shot. Although ,I will gladly take the push as I thought I was done for when I heard Curry was out with the flu.

all they have to do is win one series...then i'll lock in the profits.

Cubsmac · Mar 30, 2005

Bulls still going after Detroit for the division title and the 2 seed in the east. This would be huge as it would mean they would not have to face Miami until the Eastern Conf Championship. The fact that I am even mentioning the Bulls, Division championship and Eastern Conference championship all together still boggles my mind. After continuing to be a die hard fan for the last 6 miserable years, this season has just been unbelievable.

I don't remember him being even half this good at Uconn, wasn;t he a poor shooter there??

Ego74 · Mar 30, 2005

true dat

genosays · Mar 30, 2005

Hey blue, really like the way Bulls are playing also .... curious what you mean when you say lock in your profits on Chicago after they win 1 round in playoffs?? Are you talking about hedging & how would you do that?

nimue77 · Mar 30, 2005

I had -3 and +4.

got them at 42:1 to win the east. they win their first series...then i hedge. i dont think they can beat miami but they can beat anyone else in the east. if they win their first series, i may not bet against them in the second series depending on how they are playing and who they get.

Dawoofdaddy · Mar 30, 2005

Beauty of it blue is that if Bulls continue playing well, we will have a plus at both ends of the candle.

This team has talent, but I agree they will not beat Miami in a 7 game series. Unless, of course a injury to Shaq and they may possibly beat a Wadeless Heat.

Also, during playoff basketball, I believe they would lose a series to Detroit, but Detroit is struggling at point guard.

peteep · Mar 30, 2005

Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong, but the bulls have home court now don't they? Since they have the better record (over Boston). If I remember correctly the league changed the format to allow this.

you can always play the 2nd round by ear, and see how the series is going. A lot of 2nd rd series go 7 games, you can always pick your spots in that situation.

but, if the season were to end today, the Bulls would have Wash in the 1st round and (gulp), the Heat in the 2nd round.
