    Congrats to Ben. Well deserved if you ask me. He had a great month for us and helped us to a good record. And if anyone is too lazy to read the rest and cared to know, JR Smith go the Western Conference ROM.

    It's beginning to look that way. He's been very productive in his limited minutes for Chicago and he's been a key factor to us winning games. A little more than a month ago, I'd have said it'd be Okafor. But the problem with him getting it now is that he missed a lot of games. Couple with that that his team isn't winning a lot, though they are winning more than expected, I don't know if he wins ROY anymore. I think Ben Gordon will take it because he has been extremely productive offensively and his team is winning. Two very good things for a rookie to have going for him.

    i believe that ben gordon will run away wiht the rookie of the year, towards the end of the season with his steady improvement, and okafors steady decrease in production
