The Chicago Bulls certainly got a lift in their playoff opener as Derrick Rose made his first playoff appearance in three years a memorable one. Rose looked crisp as he went for 23 points and dished out 7 assists in the Bulls game one win. Things didn't go quite so well for Buck's PG Michael Carter-Williams as he was on the short end of the Rose matchup, and shot 4-13 in his first playoff game ever. Carter-Williams had just 3 assists, and three turnovers to go with it. It wasn't the only area the Bulls dominated as Gibson, Gasol, and Noah all had double-digit rebounds, and there just wasn't any area the Bucks were competing in. The Bucks have a lot of players that have never appeared in a playoff game, and it showed in game one, and with a healthy Rose guiding the offense, the Bulls look like they could make a deep run, and should be able to cruise past Milwaukee at home once again. Lay the points on Chicago.
