Chicago Bulls

Sure, we know about MJ's Bulls, but what about Derrick Rose's? Yeah, those Bulls came in 2012, when Chicago yielded a 76.1 nERD and 50 wins in a 66-game season.

Before suffering injury after injury, Rose pushed the Bulls to first- and second-best defense by measure of opponent points per game and defensive rating. After going down with a season-ending knee injury, the Bulls failed to bounce back in the playoffs. They lost in six games to the Philadelphia 76ers.
