Should be easy W's for the knicks and thunder

Bulls just aren't very good and westbrook isn't going to lose.

I think that's what he was saying. I don't think Thunder fans expect a win with 6.5 healthy NBA players (I'm not counting Telfair, Thomas, or half of Perk as legitimate NBA players).

Knicks suck big time. They will be lucky like to get 35 wins.

talk about schedule makers hating the knicks to start the season.

Knicks/Lakers should not be anywhere near national TV this year..

Butler is out 2-4 weeks with a sprained finger. The Bulls won't have him to guard Melo and Lebron.

Bulls Knicks should be closer than people think. Bulls still have too many questions on the offensive end, and with Butler out, and the likes of Mike Dunlevy and Doug McStuffins playing major minutes at the 3, their defense suddenly doesn't look as intimidating.

I expect a close game.

MSG is going to rock... i expect a big game from the knicks in their opener. should be a great game.

Any less than 35 and i'm gonna be PISSED.

I'm not watching to see Serge Ibaka post up, thats for goddamn sure. I want full on Westchuck tonight.

Dude Bulls started Boozer, Augustin and Dunleavy last year and their defense was still the best! How is McDermott going to hurt? They aren't a straight up one on one team and knicks dont have players who are good enough to exploit it if they did

RebuildaBulls · Post #19 » by **RebuildaBulls** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:29 pm

I hate early season primetime games, just alot of sloppy play. Teams don't get their **** straight till around the 15th-20th game

Chicago
Blazers

I'm really curious to see how the Thunder are gonna be without Durant. I don't doubt Westbrook's ability to carry them, but it's gonna be interesting to see what's up when teams are planning solely around him.
