MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE PT 2

Third on the marquee the MVP led Chicago Bulls take on the Black Mamba led LA Lakers. Rose is back off an astounding MVP season with a second scoring option (Rip Hamilton) and a 95 million dollar contract. Life's good for D.Rose, I believe he's going to come back this year even better than last season. Rip's on the team now , and is still a very good scorer who I believe can give them 17-20 points a game, and will relieve Rose's stress of having to always make plays and take big shots. LA is in disarray right now. Kobe's hurt but is still going to play, Bynum is suspended for the first 4 games of the season. Phil's gone and the Triangle Offense, which won the Lakers 2 back to back titles, is non existent as we saw in the preseason games. Fourth the best 1-2 punch in the game (Durant & Westbrook) and the Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Superman led (at least for right now) Orlando Magic. Durantula is my early MVP pick he's a back to back scoring champ and one of the best players in the league I believe it's his year.Orlando still has Dwight, but they don't know where his head is (other than he's ready to leave Smallville). (In The Rock's voice) Finally some hope has come to the Los Angeles Clippers. The LA Clippers take on the Golden State Warriors. CP3 and Must See BG nothing gets better than that. I'm lying how about those 2 plus Caron Butler, DeAndre Jordan, and Chauncey Billups. The Warriors are hoping to find a new look under rookie head coach Mark Jackson. I'll assume the first thing he taught them was " HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN". Monta and Steph Curry are still the most dynamic backcourt in the league unless CP3 and C-Bill dethrones them. GSW also has David Lee a very good post scorer and rebounder.        My Picks- Knicks, Mavs, Bulls, Thunder,and Clippers.
