Career night for Rose?

Line movement: Lakers opened as 3 point favorites, current odds are mixed (high/low: -3/+2)

Rose will torch us and set a career high, but this is one elite team that our bigs can bully inside. Gasol has always been Boozer's kryptonite, and Bynum seems to be at a level where Noah can only slow him down a bit.

So I think it'll be a Lakers win with a lot of moan about our PGs after the game

Let's see.. injured Kobe, no Odom, no Bynum, this won't even be close.

fisher is good at containing quick guards. I say lakers win by 12.

Our frontline is going to get slaughtered on the boards and we will have no answer for Derrick Rose. We might hang in there for a half but the Bulls will pull away in the 3rd quarter and never look back.

I can't wait to bet against the Lakers in this game, I will be betting against them all season until they show me otherwise.

guaranteed 3 team money line parlay-

Bulls over Lakers
Heat over Mavericks
Clippers over Warriors

As Laker fans, we are all too familiar with the disappointing feeling of a Christmas ass whoopin. It's time to break tradition and come up with a W this year.

Lakers will set a single game record for most 3s and walk away with the W.

With Bynum out... McRoberts announces to guys in the locker, "Have no fear, the Big Mac is here!" He proceeds to play all 5 positions during the game and nabs 42 pts, 15 boards and 7 assists. The whole day will be "magical," and some will feel deja vu like they've seen this act somewhere before.

I can't believe I'm going to miss this game.
