What They're Saying
Teddy Greenstein over at The Chicago Tribune found that actor Will Ferrell will be doing the player introductions tonight in New Orleans.
He also got a laugh out of the Bulls coach.
As for Ferrell, coach Tom Thibodeau conceded that the actor resembles Bulls reserve Brian Scalabrine: “That’s a good point. He does.”
Jimmy Smith with The Times-Picayune is trying to find a bright spot for the Hornets. It’s a stretch, but he notes Emeka Okafor has been shooting well.
Okafor has made 104 of the 194 shots he has attempted, and although he’s averaging only 9.7 points per game, it is evident that Okafor wisely managed his lockout time by working to improve several aspects of his offensive game.
Most Important Player to Watch: Derrick Rose
If D-Rose is able to play tonight, he will be invaluable to the Bulls and almost guarantees them a win over the lowly Hornets.
The reigning MVP has improved his game in almost every aspect this season and is taking better shots, getting his teammates more involved and doing everything possible to replicate his success from last year.
Key Matchup: Point-guard play
Greivis Vasquez might be the only player who has stepped up over the past few games for New Orleans.
In his last three starts, he has averaged 16.7 points on 51.4 percent shooting and dished nearly eight assists.
It’ll be tough to keep that up against Rose, if he plays.
Prediction
Bulls 95 - Hornets 84
