Philadelphia @ Chicago / Denver @ LA Lakers
1st H - BULLS -3.5 (x1) WIN
DBL - BULLS PK / LAKERS PK (x1.5) LOSS
1ST H - LAKERS -2.5 (x1) WIN
Chicago will now play out the post season without their star and MVP Derrick Rose. Huge blow to their Championship hopes. However this team has done this for a good part of the season and have the ability to do it again here tonight.
I expect each and every player in the Bulls rotation to step it up as they have done before and come out strong tonight against the Sixers. Gibson is more than capable of directing this team and with the form RIP showed last start have plenty on offence with him adding to Deng, Boozer and Noah.
Chicago's defense is second to none and will once again smother Phili and dominate the boards on both ends. I can't see anything changing offensively for the Sixer's tonight from last game. With Rose out I suspect Phili may be a little complacent and Chicago to have an extra spur to perform. Bulls come out strong here early to lead well at the half and take the game SU.
I have added a double with my 2nd play adding the Lakers to win game 2 SU against the Nuggets at home. LA would have raised a few eyebrows with their all round dominate performance in game one, especially with all the injuries to key players from other challengers. This team could once again be right there come the conference finals should they click.
LA's height advantage was obvious last game and I thought Sessions and Kobe did an outstanding job defensively on Lawson to shut him completely out of the game. I expect much the same tonight and the Lakers will take this series to Denver 2-0 up.
