Laker bench unloads on Bulls for a 98-91 victory
Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson put up their usual numbers and kept the Chicago Bulls (7-5) in the game, but the bench was outscored 38-to-10, which was the main factor in the 13-2 Los Angeles Lakers 98-91 win Tuesday.
The Bulls hung in the game against the Lakers and at times looked as if they could pull out a win as Rose continually drove to the hoop and Noah set up shop in the low post. Rose’s acrobatic layups looked highlight reel material even if they didn’t go in.
But in the end, the game came down to the Laker’s bench hitting daggers while the Bulls bench threw sporks.

Gibson questionable against the Lakers
Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson may not be in the lineup against the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday.
Gibson didn’t practice Monday and is going to have his foot looked at by a specialist, he is calling it a stretched ligament. This hurts the Bulls because the Lakers have a big physical lineup. He is listed as day-to-day and will be a game time decision.

Next Stop is Los Angeles
The Chicago Bulls are going to play the fourth game of their seven games in 11 days road trip Tuesday night against the reigning NBA Champions, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although, the Bulls have been playing solid basketball, they’ll have to step it up to another level to hang with the Lakers in Los Angeles, where Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher and Shannon Brown are apostles to their God known as Kobe Bryant.
Red and black are the colors of anti-God aka anti-Lakers.

Back in the game
After a two-day hiatus from making NBA game picks, Bullshome is back in the game.
Wednesday’s match-ups begin with the Chicago Bulls playing the second game of their “Circus Trip” as ESPN likes to call it. In the the road trip the Bulls will play seven west coast teams in 12 days including five of the seven top eight teams in the Western Conference. Wednesday finds the Bulls in San Antonio against the Spurs.
Tim Duncan and company are 8-1 which puts them in a three way tie for the best record in the league with the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns are going to see who can past 6-4 as they meet in a battle of the disappointments. Miami’s big three of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are not living up to the hype while the Suns, last year’s Western Conference Champions, are extremely inconsistent, mainly because they don’t have an inside presence. Oh, almost forgot, Robin Lopez, the Suns only valuable big man, is out with a knee injury.
What other games are Wednesday night?

Annual West Coast Road Trip
The Chicago Bulls will try to prove they’re a legitimate team in the Eastern Conference as they begin their annual mid-November west coast road trip Tuesday.
Each year the Bulls begin their season facing some of the east’s worst teams and a few best, then get thrown to the wolves in the Western Conference for a long stay of at least seven or eight games. This year the Bulls play seven teams in 11 days beginning with the Houston Rockets Tuesday and ending with the Sacramento Kings Nov. 27.
Five of the seven teams the Bulls will face are top eight teams in the Western Conference.
