The good news is none of our top bounceback angles apply here because I already loved the undervalued Bulls to stomp the young Bucks. Derrick Rose scored scored 23 points in 27 minutes while shooting 9 of 16 from the floor in Game 1. He is clearly back and will get more minutes each game.

The line does not accurately reflect the mismatch with Rose back. His return gives the team an emotional lift too as it makes them a serious championship contender. Pau Gasol is rejuvenated and can play more minutes in the postseason and Jimmy Butler is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He is the 26th most efficient player in the NBA according to the Hollinger ratings.

Chicago is now a No. 1 seed in terms of talent and put a hurting on Milwaukee.
