NBA Opener Preview – Bulls vs Lakers
The Chicago Bulls is an organization that a lot of people are rooting for this season because they have the 2010-2011 MVP on their team, Derrick Rose. He is not like the other players where he tries to attract the best players to support him so that he can win a ring. He enjoys the game and is willing to compete against anyone.
The Lakers, though, are not the old team that you used to love. Lamar Odom was traded to Dallas for cap space which was not a smart trade according to Kobe Bryant. Pau Gasol has not been performing as well as he is expected to and Kobe is getting a little old to carry the whole team by himself.
Kobe Bryant is not in the best shape at the start of the season and he might not play much because of a torn wrist ligament. If you plan on gambling, the odds are weighted against the Lakers especially after they were swept by the Mavs last year. It will be hard for them to rebound without Kobe so you should make sure you bet for the Bulls to win.
