Preseason Game #2: Bulls at Mavericks, 7:30pm CT

by LJRotter on Oct 7, 2010 10:53 AM CDT in News

In preparation for tonight's preseason game against the "new look" Chicago Bulls, I've rounded up some links about the Mavericks, the Bulls, and the Mavulls. I just made that last part up... but you see what I'm getting at. The game is at 7:30pm CT/8:30pm ET. Tune in! Some key story lines for this match-up:

Derrick Rose is another lightning-fast point guard. The Mavericks had a bajillion turnovers in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, and the speedy rookie John Wall was able to capitalize on way too many of them. In order for this game to be successful, Dallas will need to protect the ball much better.
The "new look" Bulls won't be at full capacity tonight. With Carlos Boozer recovering from one of the dumber injuries in the NBA and Ronnie Brewer out with a pulled hammie, we won't really know what the Bulls can do.
Is it me or did the AAC look scary-empty last game? Where are all you Mavericks fans? I know this is preseason and these games don't 'matter', but how will it make our beloved players feel to look around at vacant seats? You KNOW if I lived in Dallas I'd be at every game. NO EXCUSES.

It's still preseason.

Time to see what’s up with the team, and to get the kinks out. Bulls are low on the radar being in the East. This game is just a barometer to judge where the team stand against the Lakers, Orlando, and Celtics. Everybody else is looking up at these three.

I hate to say it, but I keep an eye on the Lakers, and they do this every preseason.

I’m not a Laker fan but I respect them. They are the team right now. It’s going to take more than matching the Lakers in mere preseason competition to equated the Mavs anywhere near the Lakers.. Like matching their front court efficiency. Then I’d go on a limb and say we’re ready to contend for the Larry O’Brien trophy.
