But I think the rest of Miami's bench is better supporting cast than OKC bench. I also think if you removed Lebron and Durant, Wade and Bosh would step up and Heat would be doing similarly as well as they are now, and OKC would suck because Russell Westbrook trying to take more shots than Kobe every night.
But I don't really think Durant should be MVP over Melo since Melo carries Knicks harder than Lebron and Durant do for Heat/Thunder. If I was giving out MVP awards, I'd do Melo > CP3 > Durant > Lebron, although the better players goes in reverse. Oh btw Durant moved into 2nd place as leading scorer (over Melo) because of his 52 last night in OT vs. Dallas.
And yeah, DRose means a lot for Bulls. Bulls would be probably be #1 seed right now if they had Rose this season (I think Heat would beat them in playoffs though). It's stupid to think otherwise lol. Rose was a pretty exciting player to watch and probably 2nd best pointguard in league after CP3.
