Derrick Rose says Bulls can make run at NBA title

[Sportsguy9695]

The Chicago Bulls came into Monday night's 92-90 win over the Indiana Pacershaving won six games in a row and nine of their past 10, but star point guard Derrick Rose was convinced his team can get even better as the season progresses.
"I think we can," Rose said before Monday's shootaround. "I don't want to jinx ourselves, but I think we can really make a run for this [championship] this year. But it just takes focus, discipline, and we got to sacrifice a little bit."
Rose, who has been singing the praises of this group since it was put together over the summer, said that it is nice not to have to carry so much weight offensively. Fourth-year swingman Jimmy Butler and veteran big man Pau Gasol are playing at an All-Star level, taking a lot of pressure off Rose's shoulders as he continues making his way back from two serious knee injuries.
"It's a good feeling," Rose said. "First time I've ever had that while I've been in the league. It takes a lot of pressure off everyone, where someone can easily go off for 15 or 20 points within a couple of quarters and put the [opposing] team away pretty quick. It's fun. We don't take it for granted, and we just know that we could always improve every day."

I don't get why players say this crap. Ever. Just keep your mouth shut. Is it really that hard?

Big, if true

Not if they continue having 4th quarters like they did against Indy.  That shit loses you games against decent teams.

I like the confidence. He didn't say we WILL win the championship, he said we HAVE A CHANCE.

It's not like everybody doesn't already know this lol

He was obviously asked the question "do you think you can win a championship this year?"
What's he supposed to say? No? Lol

Fck all the safe politically correct stuff, show some balls.

I thought it was funny because everyone knows they have a chance now. They're probably the deepest team in the league.
