There are certainly reasons why somebody would back the talented Bulls in this near pick-em spot at home but I\u2019m just not going for that. Sure the Lakers have struggled of late, Derrick Rose is awesome and Carlos Boozer was a great addition to a team that is the odds on favorite to win their division but the Bulls\u00a0are still up against the two time defending NBA champions.<\/p>\n

Phil\u00a0Jackson\u2019s squad has not been\u00a0nearly as good since jumping out of the gate 8-0. They\u2019re 4-4 overall and a terrible 1-7 against the number in their last eight. You know what I say to that, blah, blah, blah. This is still\u00a0quite possibly the best team in the entire NBA with the superstar of all superstars at a pick against a good Chicago team, but still far from a great Chicago team. This is just a good solid play, not the lock of 87 generations as\u00a0Pau Gasol has not been great of late and the Lake Show has struggled but all in all it\u2019s still the Lakers, at a pick, against the inferior Bulls.<\/p>\n

Kobe, Gasol, Fisher, Odom and Artest are the champs and a team that has now been playing with each other for awhile. If they continue to play poor ball and lose today than so be it but in my opinon the visitors from Los Angeles walk off this court as the victor more times than not making the Lakers are solid value and good enough for a play.<\/p>\n

For more information:<\/strong> It doesn\u2019t get much worse than that, truly says Matt Rivers. I won\u2019t say it was the worst beat that I have ever suffered but having the Colts last night was certainly up there. No pontificating here as I\u2019m sure you saw how that thing went down. Great job not kicking a FG earlier Jeff Fisher, way to let the clock run completely out, genius!\u00a0300,000* Oklahoma City-New Orleans plus a 200,000* Miami-Golden State as I erase that despicable nonsense.
