No idea how to call this one. Nothing is a gimme for this team. But trusting in my 6-2 prediction, Bulls should win. I thought Paul was out? Even so, I think the Bulls can do it. It'd be nice to see Mr. Boozer start pulling his weight once more. Go Bulls! As an aside, New Orleans out to consider changing their team name to the Hurricanes ( or maybe, the Mosquitoes!)
Go Bulls get this win and I will be right with my 6-2 prediction over this 8 game stretch.. But I was wrong about the losses so far.
Whoever writes the Hornets game notes needs to get a dictionary. Probable starter who's listed as doubtful? Whatever. As the Raptors game showed, you can't just go out there and recreate. Still, at 10 tonight, the 6-2 guys should feel good about their powers of prognostication.
KCJHoop Hornets coach Monty Williams on Bulls: "Maybe the most complete team in the NBA right now. Rose is probably the MVP."
5:06 15-12 Bulls Bulls 75% Hornets 60% The last shot by Rose was a long 2. Foot on the line. Bulls 3-2 rebounding edge.
