Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls will face off against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at 7:00 pm in a clash of the the two favorites to come out of the East conference. Chicago improved their roster in the off-season by adding All-Star Pau Gasol and drafting rookies like Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic from Spain. While the Cavaliers landed the best player in the NBA when James decided to come back to his hometown after leaving 4 years ago to join the Miami Heat and also traded for another All-Star in Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bulls won their season opener in New York blowing out the Knicks by 24 points, while the Cavaliers lost their home opener on Thursday night to the same New York Knicks that the Bulls blew out. The Bulls home opener will be electrifying because Derrick Rose is making his debut after another injury that ended his season last year. This year the Bulls are better than ever and the expectations are higher as well, it's either Championship or bust for them. This will be a battle of the giants and even though it is early in the season both teams want to prove a point and set a statement. At the end of the day both the Bulls and Cavaliers are expected to play for the Eastern Conference title in which a trip to the NBA finals would be up for grabs.
