The NBA playoffs have started, and there's been plenty of drama
already. As usual, there's the assortment of horrific injuries, personal
problems, and the single-minded desire to win.
We've picked out seven of the most interesting storylines to develop so far. Enjoy!
What happens to the Bulls without Derrick Rose?
Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls were looking forward to finally playing together for an extended period of time. Fortunately for the Bulls, their star was back and looking to be in good shape as the playoffs started.

Unfortunately, he blew out of knee in game one of the
first round series between Chicago and Philadelphia, and is out for the
rest of the season.
Can the Bulls rally and still make a run? Or are they doomed without last year's most valuable player on the floor?
Will Kobe get his sixth title?
Kobe's still chasing Michael Jordan's six NBA titles, and this is the last postseason before his decline as an athlete begins. It's hard to imagine that Kobe should be in decline, but he's already 33 years old, and has been playing in the league since 1996. All of those miles on his joints, as well as the injuries he keeps shrugging off, are going to catch up soon.
