Kobe is playing, and we still have a 7 pt line move?
There's no way the Bulls should ever be favored @ LA

No, you're right, I wouldn't...
but I don't think it's exactly square to take a road under dog, is it? I took Bulls +3.
What have the Lakers done in the offseason or preseason that gives you any confidence in them? They lost the sixth man of the year, they lost the #2 best center in the game for 5 games, and their best player will be injured. Lakers couldn't even beat the Clippers in preseason, not that preseason matters exactly but you can see how vulnerable they still are to young, hungry teams and teams that have elite point guards. Lakers have not done much to improve.
Meanwhile, the Bulls went 2-0 in preseason and look to have gained quite a swagger in their step with the addition of Rip Hamilton.

Kobe is injured and it's gonna give him some trouble no matter what he says. You can't tear a ligament in your shooting hand, and it not have an effect. Also, isn't Bynum suspended for this game? Way too many changes for the Lakers. Both with the coaching staff and players.

Line moved because people finally realized this Lakers team, sucks. And Bynum is out.
The "gift" was getting Chicago +3 at the beginning of the week.

Bulls should handle them with ease. No bynum, Kobe shouldn't be playing, don't see this being close. First game of the season though so can't know for sure.
