I watched the Wizards get beatdown by the Magic yesterday........the Wizards have talent, but it's pretty obvious they don't understand how to play basketball and they really lack an on-court leader. John Wall has been struggling this year as well. I thought Flip Saunders was going to be good for this team, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

4 Advantages Derrick Rose Brings to Chicago Bulls
There is no denying the impact Derrick Rose has on the Chicago Bulls as their unquestioned leader, Rose has taken the reigns of one of the proudest franchises in the NBA ...
BLEACHER REPORT SLIDESHOW!!111!!
There is no denying the impact Derrick Rose has on the Chicago Bulls as their unquestioned leader, Rose has taken the reigns of one of the proudest franchises in the NBA.
Rose led the Bulls to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals against LeBron James and the Miami Heat last season.
On an individual level, Rose propelled himself from above average player to the NBA's Most Valuable Player a rare feat for someone of his size.
For the Bulls, Rose is even more.
He is the light at the end of the tunnel created by Michael Jordan and the ultra-successful Chicago Bulls teams of the 1990s.
When Jordan retired in 1998, the Bulls were in complete disarray.
The eventual buildup of a playoff team centered on Eddy Curry, Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon was a nice diversion, but Bulls fans hungered for much more. After seeing star power personified from Jordan, Bulls fans needed that again; they need to be back in the NBA championship picture, and Rose has done that.
Rose has the Bulls off to the races again in 2011-12 jumping out to a 6-1 start, but more importantly Rose and the Bulls have not missed a beat and despite not making a splash in the offseason.
Plain and simple, Rose is a special talent. A talent above and behind anything the Bulls have seen since Jordan.
Why is Rose such a special player? What makes him such a great member of the Chicago Bulls?
In this slideshow, I look at four aspects of Rose’s game and character that give him and more importantly the Bulls an advantage over not only other point guards but also the entire NBA.Comment

The new court features the inclusion of the team's new logo at centre court, and most importantly, two 3D baselines at both ends of the court, the NBA's first and only 3D application to date.
Following approval from the NBA, the Raptors partnered with Danish-based company, LogoPaint to create the first ever 3D application in a North American sporting venue.
The 3D application will not be visible to all Air Canada Centre spectators, as only select seats in the venue will be able to see the 3D Raptors logo without the use of any aids, such as 3D glasses found in the movie theatres.
This optical illusion challenges a viewer's depth perception and can also be viewed by observers watching the game from their television sets at home.
For spectators sitting court-side in the premium seats, the Raptors logo on the two baselines will appear slanted or italicized and will not create a 3D illusion.
This technology has been widely used in basketball courts and soccer pitches across Europe. Since obtaining a patent in 1997, LogoPaint has become the world's largest supplier of 3D signs in sporting venues across the world with a presence in over 50 countries.Comment
