X Factor 3 points % Prophecy?s Prediction Heat by 5
Good preview, love the balanced matchups, Butler's gonna murder Gill with "lockdown". Hinrich and Alston, now that's something to watch, defensive and offensive powers against each other. Hopefully Jones will play his best so he and Crawford can really go at it with a defensive shootout. I say Bulls by 4.
Welp... Final Score: Heat 102 Bulls 95. -------------- The story for the Bulls tonight was Ronald DuPree, newly signed. Ronald scored 18 points on 7-11 shots. He also had 9 rebounds! He looks to me like a fine player. AD had 17 points and Curry contributed with 14. --------- Odom had 25 points and 11 rebounds. Another killer game against the Heat. Eddie Jones played great with 27 points. And, Butler had 19 points. ------- Another game we should of one. But somehow I always find myself saying that.
