Tonight should be a cake walk. This Chicago team is very young and very inexperienced. They play the typical small ball and will more that likely try to push the tempo and struggle when the game slows down. If they can shoot like the Pistons did they should have a good chance of winning. That’s assuming the whole Laker team shoots like crap. I don’t see the Bulls having a chance of winning this game. The Lakers are big inside, deep and versatile. Ben Gordon is their leading scorer and typically he gets shut down by Kobe. I’m interested in seeing Rose play. I’ve watched his numbers in the past week or so and they are solid. We’ll see what he can do against a much larger front court.
Keys to the game:
As always, rebounding and turnovers
Limit the amount of penetration and help defense on the drive and kicks.
My bold and arrogant prediction: Game over at the half. Lakers by 20+ with bench playing close to half the game and putting up 40% of the points.
