On October 31st, Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls super star, sprained his ankle and missed the game with the timberwolves. There is no estimate on how long Rose will take until he plays again.
On October 31st, OKC superstar, Russell Westbrook, fractured his hand and undergoes surgery. The surgery was successful but he is out for at least four weeks. Also another OKC superstar, Kevin Durant fractured his right foot earlier this month and has been sitting out ever since. With 2 of their best players out, OKC will probably be cooked for the next 2 months.
With OKC and the bulls best players out for a while there is no guessing on what will happen this season. Giving rookies a chance to shine while their best players are out is one of the best ways to find new talent.
As other teams bolster their roosters, who will prevail and win the championships. Will it be the returning champions the spurs, the newly improved Lakers, the cavaliers with James back, the supposedly "best rooster" clippers, the golden state warriors, the OKC thunder, or will it be a new start up team.
