***NBA Playoffs are rapidly approaching the the Chicago Bulls are scoring a ton of points lately. On Monday, 3/21 they defeated the Sacramento Kings 132-92 and followed that with a road win over the Atlanta Hawks 114-81.

Point guard Derrick Rose is looking like a league MVP–at least according to Hawks fans whowere chanting those call letters with the Bulls leading 72-43 at half. Yes, half.

With the win, the Chicago Bulls surpassed the Boston Celtics with the best record in the Eastern Conference at 51-19.

***The St. Louis Blues have dropped 4 of their last 5 including tonight’s loss to the Phoenix Coyotes.They finish 1-3 on their western road swing (LA, ANA,SJ, PHX).

The team led 1-0 after the first period but allowed 2 goals in the second period and were unable to score again.

Here are some season stats:

It’s disappointing because of the expectations we had coming into the season for the young group. They started 8-1 and were looking like the type of team that had taken a big step. Unfortunately injuries to David Perron, T.J. Oshie, and Andy McDonald were too much for the team to overcome.

The Blues have 9 games remaining in 2011 and will unfortunately miss the playoffs for the second consecutive season.Thanks for reading.
