Oh hells yes. Nothing gets me ready for a game like listening to the ESPN dais fellate Lebron and Wade.
I'm calling a Hawks win. And I'm calling Josh Smith turning up and wreaking havoc. I can smell it. I can feel it.
Mullins and Jalen picks the hawks. One said Smith will have a good game, the other said Crawford will go for 30. The one that picked the bulls said Boozer will get 25/15
Bulls win and play an almost complete gave. Korver had an 0-fer the last game. Won't happen this one.
