Vegas consensus is Warriors by 2 1/2...yeah, that sounds about right. I'll be interested in seeing the frontcourt play tonight. Even without Gibson, the Bulls should have the advantage inside. Also, this wouldn't be a bad game for Rose to get kinda freaky dominant.
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Thibs says Gibson is in. Noah will warm up and see how he feels. McDermott is out and will be re-evaluated by Dr. Brian Cole tonight.
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Rose comes out to the floor wearing an "I can't breathe" shirt. Making a statement in regards to Eric Garner.
K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Steve Kerr is 2nd coach in NBA history to begin a career with a 16-2 mark. Al Cervi led 49-50 Syracuse Nationals to 18-2 mark.
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell The fans are into this one early. It's rocking in here. Noah gets a huge ovation.
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell The Bulls are getting run all over the place early in this one. GSW doing whatever they want offensively. Warriors shooting 50% from field.
