Tune in at 3:30 PM ET as the Bulls take on the Celtics. Derrick Matkar will be liveblogging for your enjoyment.
Welcome to The Score Mobile live blogs. Today's game features the Chicago Bulls taking on the Boston Celtics.
Bulls star point guard Derrick Rose will not play against the Celtics as he is suffering from back spasms
CJ watson will fill in for Rose, and they will also miss Richard Hamilton with a groin injury
The Bulls took down the Celtics in mid January, but it will be a tough task again without their star guard Rose
Boston will be looking to prove a point as they have lost back to back games against first the Lakers, but even more surprising against the Raptors
@Gk- They have been 5-1 without Rose so it's quite possible
Any predictions on the game?
@DL- Nice pick my friend. I think the Celtics need this win badly
