It’s game time for all of us basketball lovers. The starting of preseason basketball is so exciting. As you may know, some of our favorite players during the off-season get picked to play overseas for the USA team. Some players continue on vacation mode enjoying their families, while still training in between. So, when preseason comes around, we get to see how our favorite players’ hard work has paid off. We get a sneak peek of whether or not our team will be a contender for the finals.
Chicago Bulls had a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks this week. Derek Rose, on the Bulls, had two and ones! Joakim Noah had five offensive rebounds! In addition, Tay Gibson did well on the free throw line!
Their opponents, the Atlanta Hawks, played pretty well. They had great outside range shooting. Their ball movement was steady. They had a lot of ball turnovers and ten points from tipped passes. But at the end of it all, the better team won. Chicago Bulls, 84 to Atlanta Hawks, 82!
For all our NBA lovers, we know it’s the sound of the dribble and the sneakers screeching around the gymnasium floor with the grunts from the hard-core physical toll from the basketball plays. The competition, the sportsmanship, and the desire to win and be loved makes us fall in love with the sport all over again every year. So with that being said, it’s NBA preseason, baby!!!!!! Enjoy!
