--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bulls should be warned. Bucks lost the first 8 road game but now are on a 3-game winning streak on the road with wins @Knicks, @Heat and @ Rockets.

My prediction: Bulls 101 Bucks 92

 

John Leuer? You can't stop him, . . .

 

The game sure wasn't pretty, but I think Noah's back and that's huge in the overall scheme.

Also, at least to my knowledge, no one got hurt last night, which lately seems to be an accomplishment in itself.
