Chicago plays: @ Indiana Boston @ Milwuakee Indiana @ New Orleans Milwaukee @ Toronto Memphis I think we'll beat Boston at home, Milwaukee on the road, Indiana at home, Milwaukee at home, and Toronto on the road.... @ Indiana- Indiana has a lot to prove. Artest will stifle down Rose, O'Neal will be killer inside. It will interesting to see how the addition of Pippen helps us, especially on the road.....But I think Indiana wins bec. they are at home, and we are still a young team. Boston- We gave them some good games last year.....we are a very good home team......hopefully Curry will receive a ton of PT and eat the Celtics alive. I think we stand a good chance of winning this one. Pierce will scorch us...but we might sneak away with this. @ Milwaukee- Redd will hurt us....someone always lights us up from beyond the arc. But he can't beat us by himself. We should win this pretty easily. Indiana- We get them back at home. I say we will win this one. We are always a much better team at home. Indiana might underestimate us, especially if they won in Indiana. Last year, the difference between the road and at home was night and day. @ New Orleans- We will lose this. New Orleans has the power inside(Magloire, Brown, West, Lang, Traylor) to match up with us well. Baron Davis will exploit whomever defends him. Milwaukee- We will beat them again, this time at home. Milwaukee figures to be one of the worst teams in the league. I will be severly dissapointed if we don't sweep them in the preseason. @ Toronto- VC will be healthy, that scares me. But outside of Davis, they are thin upfront(in terms of bulk). I hope that plays an inportant part in the game. We need to get Davis in foul trouble. I think Carter will be rusty, and we'll take this game. Memphis- We'll lose this one. We never play well against them, it seems. Gasol is a great young player. They have good role players. They also have an effective PG against us, in Williams. Over all, Memphis is a very nice team on the rise.

We have Moiso(235) and Bateer(290) to give us more size now. Bradley is bigger now aswell. A Bosh vs Chandler match up will be kool. Two tall skinny power forwards.

Two tall skinny power forwards.</div> Tyson's bulked up this summer (from what i've heard) and i'll find out at the charity game for sure. the fact that he's got 2 years on Bosh should help too..
