Derrick Rose must bring the Bull Horns

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Chicago has it all set up for them to win easily at home tonight, but easily just does not come easily in the NBA playoffs. The Bulls may not find the friendly home confines to be the answer they are hoping for.
Derrick Rose needs to find a way to slow down Rajon Rondo before they change his name to Raging Roundballer. Rajon had a triple double on a sprained ankle in the last game. That is right; he did it on one leg. Pretty impressive.
Rajon rules in spite of nothing up his sleeves
If the Bulls can bring the effort then the odds are that the Celtics will find themselves down 2 – 1 facing another game in Chicago without Kevin Garnett or Leon Powe.
It is that needed effort that has Bull Coach Vinny Del Negro concerned.
”Never think you can use logic in basketball,” Del Negro said. ”Playoff basketball just doesn’t work like that. Every game causes different adjustments, different matchups.
”We have to control [Rondo] in transition; he’s like a one-man fast break. His rebounding and his assists are killing us. We have to do a better job of keeping him off the glass and pay a little bit more attention to him. We have to do a better job keeping him out of the paint. He’s very quick and tough off the dribble.”
