One of the greatest playoffs debut by a rookie in nba history.

Negro says the Bulls need to match the physical play of the Boston Celtics. But when we walked in here a couple of hours ago, it was freezing. Joe Kim Noah from Derek Rose. Well, that is the Chicago Bulls right there. The Chicago Bulls need to get up and down the floor. Great push here by Rose finding a much improved Joe Kim Noah. He and Tyrus Thomas have improved their play over the last two months. Pierce had 37 The Bulls win that game 127-121. They need to get this game in the hundreds and score a lot of points. Tyrus Thomas stocks that goal. Derek Rose among league leaders in so many important categories for rookies, second in scoring, second in the minutes. And maybe most importantly, he is a point guard, and he was first in assists among NBA. Thomas getting tripped up, getting tangled up with Allen behind the play. Ben Gordon is open and banks it home. He's got to be on the shortlist for one of the most improved players in the NBA as Paul Pierce is forced to foul. Derek Rose showing some early ups. This guy is definitely, he's got the power speed is what Doc Rivers says. Power speed versus just a guy that's speed. He's got a terrific combination of strength and speed and maybe above all else, JB. He is such a will to lead potentially. One point lead for the Bulls. There is Rose with the jumper along too. It's not a pretty looking jump shot. But at 47% turnover, there's six. Well, one other aspect of this series that we haven't mentioned is the health of Danny. Getting to the basket, it will. Everything's been okay. And Derek Rose just lifted his hands to the air towards Brad Miller's hip to say, where were you with the help? And Derek Rose says, anything Rondo can do, I can do better. And now it's Rondo. Let's go to Nancy Lieberman for more. I had an opportunity to talk to Derek Rose today. He was telling me it was so important for me last week. I called BJ Armstrong. I said, BJ, I know you're my agent, but you've been here. You have three rings. They went to lunch. He and a point guard guys. All right, Nancy. Thank you. Great stuff. Rose again, the lob for Noah. Again, a great push here. A no-look lob pass right on the money to Noah. That's the second time. Whatever he was just talking about is anytime the point guard drives to the basket. Derek Rose is releasing. As Tim Thomas knocks down four. Now two. Does Rose realize it? He does. And hits it. Derek Rose with one on the shot clock. Mikey Moore, Leon Poe, and Perkins can beat you taking that shot. Your hat's off to them. They're going to beat you. Noah inside from Rose. What a look. How about the confidence of this Chicago Bull team? The open jumpers and some offensive rebounding opportunities where they've gotten a rebound but haven't been able to finish. This could be more than a seven-point game. Salmons after the turnover. Reason why Boston was able to win it all. Well, that's the biggest thing you miss with Kevin Garnett. It's not the 18 points, 10 rebounds. He's not on the bench here to start the second half. He was there for the first half. Derek Rose with a nice off-balance leaner knocks that in. But tip out Rose. Chicago led by as many as 11 just moments ago. It's down to four. Back up to six. Another tough runner from Derek Rose. First playoff game, huh? Yeah. That's the quick threes here to start the third quarter. After Boston did not make a three in the first half. Derek Rose again. Screen and roll and not getting to Rondo before he gets to the paint. You have to meet him outside the paint as Rose answers the bell again. Crossover drive. Rose again using the screen and again knocking it down. Gets themselves a lead. But they don't hold on to it for very long. Stop after stop. This Chicago Bulls team is not that type of team. The Boston Celtics, that is the type. Davis and Poe have looked here. Miller doesn't get the bounce. Offensive rebound. Rose, yes! 27! What a finish that was. Noah just got a finger on this ball to keep it alive. Rose the beneficiary and a beautiful finish. Derek Rose all the way. What an explosion. That's after a Celtic layup. Derek Rose coast to coast. No one in front of him. Dunn on the boards. Noah's got 14. Miller's got 10. Oh my goodness. First game of the playoffs. That's that's what they're telling us. Sure doesn't look like it. Has a miss for him or Derek Rose on a pick and roll. Looks like same play as last time down. Gordon's going to come off the pick and roll. Gordon. Rose driving. Oh, goodness. Knocked out by Pierce. Count the basket. 34 for Rose Chicago back on top. He has a miss one, Dan. You said it, not me. So let's see what happens. Relaxed and calm out there. It will be a timeout. Doc Rivers drawing up a play right now. 36 points. Aspirations getting out of this series. Thomas. A big jumper for Thomas and that's assist number 10 for Rose. And the Chicago Bulls will win game one here in Boston. Ray Allen with a dismal shooting afternoon finishes one for 12. Got a great look. And Derek Rose and the Bulls beat the Celtics here in game one. His father and son embrace.
