The Chicago Bulls had won four straight games coming into the dreaded seven-game road trip they are currently on, but after losing the first two games of the road trip to the sub-par Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers things were not looking good for the Bulls.  They really bounced back after those two games though, and have gone on to win three straight road games against top-notch Western Conference teams.  They handled the Phoenix Suns pretty easily on Friday with a 115-104 win, and followed that up with a 104-97 win over the Houston Rockets the very next night.  Monday they went into San Antonio and beat the Spurs 98-93, who are one of the best teams of this era.  The Bulls are in Oklahoma City tonight to take on Kevin Durant and the Thunder, and they follow that up with a trip to New Orleans against Chris Paul and the Hornets to wrap up this long road trip.  A lot of Bulls players have been stepping up, but their current winning ways can mostly be attributed to Derrick Rose.  In the past six games (4 wins) Rose is averaging 26.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals on 51% shooting.  Rose is really starting to mature before our eyes and is taking his game to the next level.  The All-Star reserves will be announced tomorrow night and I expect to hear Derrick Rose’s name called.  If the Bulls come out of this road trip with a winning record it will be huge and it could give them the momentum they need going into the second half of the season.
