It's finally that time of year - basketball season!
The Chicago Bulls battle it out on the court against the Los Angeles Clippers in Week 3 of the 2014 regular season on Monday, November 17 at 10:30 p.m. EST at the Staples Center in LA. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
To kick-off the regular season, the Bulls snag the No. 6 spot in Josh Martin's official NBA power ranking for Bleacher Report with a 7-3 winning record:
"The 2014-15 season is quickly turning into a redux of 2011-12 for the Chicago Bulls—and not just because their bench is awesome... The bigger issue here is the health of Derrick Rose. Three years ago, Rose missed 27 games to a variety of leg, ankle and groin injuries. That series of setbacks may well have contributed to the ACL tear that Rose suffered in the first game of the 2012 playoffs and that kept him out of action until the fall of 2013, when he was done in by yet another knee injury. This time around, Rose is battling sprains in both ankles and a gimpy left hamstring, in addition to the surgical scars in his knees. Indeed, Rose has every reason to worry about his health, and not just for life after basketball, as Bleacher Report's Sean Highkin commented: 'The only thing Rose can do that will win back the trust of a fanbase is stay on the floor and lead the Bulls to a deep playoff run after two years of also-ran status. But he can't shortcut the process, and the only thing he can do in the meantime is make the best decisions for his long-term future. He shouldn't have to apologize for that.'"
Meanwhile, the Clippers currently hold the No. 16 spot (out of 30 total teams) with five wins and three losses. According to Martin:
"Trust seems to be an issue for the Los Angeles Clippers as well. Or is it effort? Or desire? 'There's a reason why we're not playing as hard as we should and we're not as focused,' head coach Doc Rivers said before a recent practice. 'I don't know the reason, and as a coach, that's troubling. I want to find out the reason.' It certainly doesn't help that the Clippers have struggled to find a consistent solution on the wing. Matt Barnes' offensive struggles landed him back on the bench, with reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford taking his spot in the starting five. But Crawford is far too slender (and a bit too old, at 34) to realistically expect him to consistently check some of the NBA's bigger, stronger and younger small forwards. Some minutes for Reggie Bullock could help, but they might not be the solution the Clippers are looking for, given their championship expectations. Then again, it's not particularly encouraging for a squad with as much talent and continuity as L.A. has at its back to seem so out of sorts."
The game will be broadcasted live on local channels NBAt, CSNC, and PT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at SportsNet 590, 104. 5 'The Team,' The Beast 980, AM570.
