Bulls have looked a little off in their last three, but still managed to win them all. Boozer will need to bounce back and keep making life easier for Rose. I like the bulls to put it together and grab a good win
Lakers are not playing good ball. Barely escaped a loss last night to the Clippers. They just got off a 4 game skid. Bulls on the other hand seem to be on a roll and balling. At this moment i'm leaning to the home team.
Carlos Boozer has been owning Lamar Odom for a long time with the Jazz. Without Bynum, I think the Bulls massively out-rebound the Lakers. Just exchange D.Williams for D.Rose, Noah for Kirelenko and it's just like facing the Jazz, who give the Lakers many headaches. Throw in the Lakers downward momentum and I think there's a strong case for betting the Bulls. I'm a Laker fan though so I can't bet against my team
I think Chicago is the play & no it is not because I'm a homer rooting for my home team. The United Center is gonna be nuts tomorrow & we have a full squad ready to hit the floor hard against the Bynum-less Lakers. The Lakers beat the Bulls last time (but didn't cover) because their bench played out of their mind (Shannon Brown, Blake hitting mad 3's) & because the Bulls missed a ton of free throws. I see a totally different picture unraveling tomorrow night. Best of luck.
Carlos is going to have to play a ton better to have a shot as we've struggled against the best defensive teams though covered most. I'd rather wait until half to see how each team is playing.
Lakers were playing horrid the past week. They almost lost to the Clipps the other night but fisher hit a buzzer beating shot. Things like that build momentum and teams gel on the road. Kobe will be focused and I think we see a Lakers victory and start of a winning streak. Might be a big play for me on the Lakers.
