Bulls to Play Lakers Tonight in Chicago

Before the season began, you would have though that the situations would be reversed for the Bulls and the Lakers. Los Angeles is dealing with injury problems with Kobe and Kwame Brown, but they have managed to shoot out to a 13-9 record in the first two months of play. Meanwhile, the team everyone thought would be at the top of the league, the Chicago Bulls, has struggled early on, only managing to reach 7-13 at this point. The last time these two teams met the Lakers blew out the Bulls 106-78 in a game that got ugly early. The scrubs played from most of the game. This time, the Bulls are hoping to exact revenge.

As you loyal Bulls Blog readers well know, Chicago is coming off of a win over New York at home, so the team might be gaining more confidence. The fact that Kobe is having trouble working at full speed is also a considerably optimistic factor to think about before you get tickets to see this one. If the Bulls can win one tonight and then another tonight in Washington D.C., then they’ll have a winning streak going. The NBA Forecasting game generator has the Bulls favored to win by “favorite” factor of 59%.
