00:05 Golden State, now the fourth worst record out west.
00:09 The Dubs, three games below 500, 17 and 20 straight up this year.
00:15 Donnie predicted it, he was on the Warriors under before this season got underway.
00:20 And now the underdogs are the Dubs tonight on the road in the Windy City,
00:25 a three point spread in favor of the Bulls.
00:28 Now back to back games, the Warriors just looked at atrocious,
00:30 particularly the very last game they played.
00:32 So you take a look and say, well, it's pretty easy.
00:34 The Bulls are at home, I'll just take the Bulls at minus three.
00:36 But sometimes when you start to have those swirling storms,
00:39 like maybe Steve Kerr has lost the locker room,
00:41 Steph Curry needs some help, he's not getting it here.
00:43 We're still waiting on Draymond Green to get back,
00:45 who knows when that is actually going to happen.
00:47 I actually like the Warriors in this spot here,
00:49 because I still don't trust the Chicago Bulls,
00:51 even though we have Zach Levine back in that lineup.
00:53 They're a better overall starting lineup.
00:55 But something to be said about that line looking a little bit short to me,
00:58 specifically where the Warriors are headed right now, and
01:01 not looking good over the past two outings here.
01:03 I look for a big game out of Steph Curry.
01:04 I'll take the three points in this game with the Golden State Warriors on the road
01:08 in a bounce back spot, just from an advantage of, not really a handicap of X and
01:12 Os, but that's a veteran team that's been embarrassed.
01:15 I don't think that's gonna continue much, much longer.
01:17 They should put up a good effort tonight in the Windy City.
01:19 >> Listen, when Golden State has not been expected to win,
01:23 booked as the underdog, they have at least covered numbers.
01:26 Ten and five against the spread, but again,
01:28 only three outright victories as a dog in those ten covers this season.
01:33 Chicago, eight and seven against the number as a favorite.
01:36 They've won three straight.
01:37 They have covered as a single digit favorite in all three of those games,
01:41 the previous two going over.
01:44 I don't know if Golden State wins, but there has been a lot of conversation
01:48 from Steph Curry about the Warriors trying to figure out their offensive
01:52 identity moving forward this year and needing to do so very, very quickly.
01:58 Because of that, I think we see some points on this Friday night at
02:01 the United Center over 228.
