Many people may not want to admit to it, but Derrick Rose is this year's NBA MVP. Dwight Howard also has a case as well, but the truth is without Rose the Bulls would be lost. He does the little things that most people do not even think about. When the Bulls need a clutch basket he has been able to hit it this year. That was not the case last season. He also knows how to take over a game when he needs to as well, which was missing from his game.
Derrick Rose also knows how to keep his teammates involved in the game as well. He is an MVP player, but he is also a team player. It is never about Derrick Rose it is about the team which is something you do not hear enough anymore. He is a humble young man and deserves The NBA MVP trophy this season as he has earned it. Like it or not Derrick Rose is the league MVP no matter what others may think about it.

NFL, Players Association Getting Forced Mediation
Even though the NFL and The Players Association is not happy with it Judge Susan Richard Nelson told the NFL and NFL players that she will impose forced mediation on them early this week. The problem is both sides do not care about get a quick resolve in all of this no matter what they say in public.
The real losers in all of this is the fans who have to sit through this hoping there is an NFL season this fall. I think a good idea would be for fans all to boycott the first game of the season when it gets resolved. Imagine what an embarrassment the NFL and the Players would have if in Week 1 no fans showed up for the games. It will never happen, but something to think about as a statement from the fans about what they were put through.

Easton Conference Playoff Preview
Well not to much longer and we will be talking about the NBA playoffs, so today I thought we would look at the Eastern Conference and what we can expect. Right now the Chicago Bulls have locked down the number one seed with Boston and Miami at two. Boston does hold the tie-breakers if it ends in a tie. Orlando is fourth followed by Atlanta. Let us look at how this plays out in the end.
Without a doubt the Bulls are playing the best basketball of the Top 5, but the playoffs are much different than the regular season. In reality any of the Top five teams could make it to thew NBA Finals. I still like the Celtics to make it through the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are not battle tested and Boston has been through the playoff wars before. Miami is the x-factor in all of this. They have the talent to come out of this conference as well. In the end though I think it will be Boston. Even though the Celtics seem to be struggling a little they have the Big Three that have been battled tested before.

Can Kobe Bryant And Lakers Climb That Mountain One More Time?
The Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant has had a season of highs and lows. They went into the All-Star break getting hammered by the Cleveland Cavaliers and came out of it showing people they can still make a run at an NBA Championship. Fast forward to today and you have a team that has lost five games in a row. Can they turn it on in the playoffs and take another NBA Championship?
Last year I would probably say yes, but this year is a lot different. The Lakers are older and they seem to be much more inconsistent this year than they were last season. San Antonio and Oklahoma City are playing great basketball. The Thunder picked up Kendrick Perkins and that maybe the guy that can get the Thunder past the Lakers. Everyone knows the Lakers have the talent, but another championship this year maybe out of the question.

Tiger Woods Shows Glimpses Of Old Form Finishes Fourth At Masters
Many people have wondered if we will ever see the old Tiger Woods and the answer at least glimpses of it. Woods probably played some of the best golf of the weekend and fell short as he finished fourth at the Masters. Now he was in contention for most of the weekend, so he has to feel better about where his golf game is right now.
Tiger Woods has struggled since coming back from his layoff, but The Masters showed us he can still play the game of golf. Once he gets it all put back together he may still be able to win some tournaments. I do not think we will ever see the old Tiger Woods. I think that was lost when his twisted tale of infidelity was on stage for the world to see. No matter what we still can see Tiger Woods does still have some good golf in him.

Lakers, Heat Going In Opposite Directions As Playoffs Near
The Miami Heat went into Boston in a statement game and made a loud statement with a easy 100-77 route of the Boston Celtics. It was kind of surprising how easily the Heat won the game. No matter what anyone tells you the Celtics really miss Kendrick Perkins and his toughness in the middle. With Shaq still out it could be tough on the Celtics in the playoffs.
For the Los Angeles Lakers their rollercoaster season continues as they now have lost five games in a row after a 120-106 blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. This loss may not seem huge right now, but the Thunder gave the Lakers all they could handle in the playoffs last season. It is hard to get a read on the Lakers as one day they look great the next day they do not. I guess we will have to wait to see what they do in the playoffs.
