NBA Season Opener Prediction: Derrick Rose 40 Points Versus Miami Heat, Bulls Win
@nategrayzone
The long awaited return of Derrick Rose in a NBA regular
season game happens Tuesday night, October 29, 2013 in American Airlines Arena.
He and the Bulls will face the NBA champions, Miami Heat on their ring ceremony night.
All eyes will be on Rose as the critics watched him recover
from his ACL injury last season and said he should have returned to help his
team in the playoffs. It was not wise for Rose to return and he
made the right decision to remain out. Even if he did make a comeback, Chicago
was not fit to win a championship.
Derrick Rose, the youngest MVP in NBA history is just one
man, one player. His on court presence however does make a difference in Chicago
Bulls basketball.
Now the 2013-14 NBA season is underway, what will Rose do?
A few things we know and have observed thus far:
He is:
- had a phenomenal preseason
-and averaged a point per minute through his first few games
of preseason. For example, in his return to the United Center, he scored 22
points in 22 minutes.
True it was preseason, but Rose and the Bulls gave a good
preview of what to expect from them for 2013-14.
I am making a bold prediction that Rose will score 40 points
against the Heat in the season opener.
@nategrayzone picks Bulls over Heat by 8.
Rose: 40 points, 8.5 assists
Noteable: Watch
out for rookie Tony Snell, prediction 12.4 points season average, 8-13 points in
Heat season opener.
