Los Angeles Clippers versus Chicago Bulls: Game Preview
Filed Under Previews & Reviews, Chicago Bulls | Leave a Comment
After losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, the Chicago Bulls had a good 72 hours to stew about its bad start to the regular season. Here’s hoping the team is upset with the start and comes out looking to play tonight. The Bulls better be ready as the Clippers have been scoring in triple digits thus far this year without Elton Brand and Shaun Livingston.
Chicago is not playing a team like New Jersey, Philadelphia or Milwaukee that will go through prolonged offensive slumps and allow the Bulls to hang around. If the Bulls are slow and ineffective on defense, the Clippers could have a field day and run them out of the building.
Here’s hoping that rookie forward Joakim Noah, making his professional debut, can energize the Bulls. With that said, it’s time for the Bulls to Wake Up on the defensive end, as the lyrics from a song by one of the best bands around, The Walkmen, reveal.

Chicago Bulls versus Milwaukee Bucks: Game Preview

What the buck is wrong with the Chicago Bulls? A team that many have has a contender in the Eastern Conference has looked dead in the first two games of the regular season, both losses.
After awful performances last night, Chicago point guard Kirk Hinrich and center Ben Wallace need to be the tone setters on offense and defense, respectively, on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks. So far they haven’t even been close; a disturbing trend early this season to say the least.

The Kobe Bryant trade speculation has thankfully been put to rest for the meantime. The contracts of Ben Gordon and Luol Deng can’t be addressed until after this season. It’s time for the Chicago Bulls to focus on what matters most, playing and producing on the floor.

NBA Game of the Night: Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz
Filed Under Previews & Reviews, NBA | 1 Comment
In a rematch of last year’s seven-game, first round series in the Western Conference playoffs, the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz square off tonight. Last year, the Jazz got the tough Game Seven win in Houston as an Andrei Kirilenko three with a little more than a minute left in the game proved to be the defining play of the series and sparked Utah to a nice run to the Western Conference Finals.

One night does not obviously make a season, but some interesting developments took place on the court tonight during the San Antonio Spurs’ victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, the Houston Rockets’ nail-biter over the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Utah Jazz’ whipping of the Golden State Warriors.
