Game Analysis:
The NBA is finally back and man am I excited to start betting on the NBA games. The Thunder are kicking off of their season in Chicago against the Bulls. Although it is still football season I know I am excited to have non stop sports all week long. It is going to be interesting to see all of the different players that got traded this year and see them on their new teams with their new roster.
The Thunder this year drafted Gonzaga legend Chet Holmgren with the second pick in the draft. This preseason Holmgren was showing off and backing up what he did for Gonzaga and he has shown in the preseason that he is fit for the NBA. Hopefully in this game Holmgren gets a lot of minutes and plays at the top of his game. Other players that are back and going to be fun to watch on this team are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Oladipo and Josh Giddey. It will be interesting to see how this team will stack up against the Bulls. Last year the Thunder didn’t do too well going 40-42 and were ranked 10th in the Western Conference just like the Bulls.
The Bulls are known for Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. You could say that Michael Jordan put the Bulls on the map and they have yet to win a title since Jordan and Pippen retired or left. RIght now the Bulls have good quality veterans and players on their team. They have Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Andre Drummond, Alex Caruso and Nikola Vucevic. This team didn’t do that well last season and had a record of 40-42. They finished 10th in the Eastern Conference so hopefully this year they can step up and do well in the playoffs.
Basketball is so back and aren’t we all excited that we can bet and lose more money on the NBA rather than the NFL. This game is going to be a close one and it will be interesting to see how Chet Holmgren will stack up against an actual NBA team in the regular season.
