Milwaukee Bucks and their struggles against Rose
Saturday April 18 the Milwaukee Bucks played the Chicago Bulls in
Game 1 of the first round play offs. The Bulls pulled off an early lead and kept it like that through-out the whole game to a final score of 103-91.
Derrick Rose, of the Bulls shined brightly and got 23 points throughout
the whole game. Bucks center, Zaza Pachulia, said "You're surprised because of all the injuries and because he really just came back. But you're not surprised because he's very capable of playing like that. He's one of the best players in the league." He said this to the press April 19 referring to Derrick and his huge comeback after last years torn ACL taking him out of the playoffs in the first round against the Wizards.
The Bucks head coach Jason Kidd, a former NBA player himself, said "He came out very aggressive, getting the ball in the paint and finishing. Then in the second half, he knocked down some jump shots. He had a heck of a game." And truthfully enough he did. If this continues for the rest of round one the Bulls should be advancing
to round two, but the Bucks are very capable of coming back if they can defend against Derrick behind the arch and in the paint.
