Tonight's the night for the Bulls to find out what they're made
of. I kind of have a feeling that Korver may go off for a big
game, because he used to play for Philly and is comfortable
playing there.
Then again, I never win the Lottery, so take it with a grain of
salt!
I think with Boozer, what you see is what you get. Sometimes
good game, sometimes mediocre. I never knew that someone that
strong and solid could play so soft at times.

That didn't turn out very well. Noah severely turns his ankle,
and the Bulls let a 13 pt 4th quarter lead evaporate. Now the
Sixers lead 2-1.
I have to say that Thibs had a "deer in the headlights" look to
his face during that stretch where the Bulls gave up the lead
and shot 0-10. Lucas again was dribbling away while the shot
clock ran down, and he repeatedly waved off Deng to try a shot.
They completely went away from their offense that got them the
lead. I just don't understand how Thibs wasn't willing to try
something different to stem the tide - put CJ back in, or even
try Mike James instead of JL3. Thibs needs to be less rigid in
sticking to his game plans and allow himself to be flexible
enough to make in-game adjustments. I think he was clearly
out-coached in the 4th quarter.
As badly as Noah's ankle looked, he's got to be out at least a
couple weeks. No Rose, no Noah, no chance of victory. Even if
the Bulls somehow figure out a way to beat the Sixers, they'll
probably get swept in the next round.
What a disappointing end to the season! We don't even have a
good draft pick to talk about over the summer.

The damn team lost again today. Looks like it's over until
next year.
The Bulls need seriously to try to get a shooting guard beside
Rose next year. It'll take a hell of a lot of scoring pressure
of him and maybe will limit his constant injury problems.

Game 5 tonight! Maybe I just can't face reality, but I think the
Bulls will somehow pull out a tightly contested victory.
I would love to see them start Gibson at center, and give Mike
James some PT to see if he can provide a spark subbing for
Watson.

I don't know buddy. If they can't beat this young Sixer team
the last 3 games then I see them getting beaten tonight.
I thought with the experience the Bulls have over the Sixers
minus Rose would be the deciding factor in this series but they
seem to act like they've never played together before.

On to game six, baby!
Boy the Sixers shot badly in game five. Looking at the box score
they were 25-78 for a .321 shooting percentage. I guess you have
to credit the Bulls' defense.
Taj twisted his ankle in the third, but returned to finish the
game - it appears he'll be okay for the next game. With Noah
possibly able to play, maybe they'll scratch out another victory
in Philly.

The loss hurts because of the way it went down, but the REAL
loss was game 1, even though the Bulls "won."
Sigh... I'm trying to keep this game 6 loss in perspective -
it's all about opportunities. The Sixers took advantage of the
opportunities they had; the Bulls didn't. We know the Bulls
wouldn't have gone far without Rose anyway.
Well on to the offseason and NBA draft. There's actually a
couple decent SG's who may be available when the Bulls pick,
John Jenkins (

and William Buford

Game Notes: Bulls vs. New Orleans Hornets 7:00 p.m.
11/03/12
Though still very early, it appears the Chicago Bulls will be
able to hold their own while Derrick Rose works his way back
from injury.
With Eric Gordon already sidelined, the New Orleans Hornets
could be in for a rough road ahead without Anthony Davis.
Looking to improve to 3-0 for the first time in 16 seasons,
Chicago tries to extend its winning streak over injury-plagued
New Orleans to nine games Saturday night at the United Center
(7:00 p.m. CT | WCIU | ESPN 1000/WRTO 1200).
The Bulls (2-0) have outscored the Hornets (1-1) by an average
of 11.1 points during their run in this series, limiting them to
39.4 percent from the field. Chicago, though, needed 32 points
from Rose to pull out a 99-95 victory in the last matchup Feb.
28.
The Bulls, who lost Rose to a torn left ACL during Game 1 of a
first-round playoff loss to Philadelphia last season, aren't
certain when he'll be able to return. If its first two games are
any indication, however, coach Tom Thibodeau's team figures to
be OK without the 2010-11 league MVP.
After beating Sacramento 93-87 in Wednesday's season opener,
Chicago cruised to a 115-86 win at Cleveland on Friday. Richard
Hamilton and Carlos Boozer each scored 19 points for the Bulls,
who took a 32-16 lead into the second quarter and never looked
back.
"It was awesome. It felt good. Everyone was catching the ball in
their sweet spots," said Hamilton, who also scored 19 against
the Kings. "In the third quarter, I decided to get a little more
aggressive. Some dude behind me called me Old Man River, so I
had to show him how it's done."
The Bulls haven't won their first three games since opening a
franchise-best 12-0 in 1996-97, when they claimed the fifth of
their six championships.
The Hornets, meanwhile, escaped with their first win of the
season Friday, 88-86 over Utah. After posting eight points and a
career-high 13 assists during Wednesday's 99-95 loss to San
Antonio, Greivis Vasquez finished with 13 and 10, respectively,
and scored the game-winning basket with 1.3 seconds to go.
"He is playing tremendous and he has got his confidence back and
we'll keep going back to him," forward Jason Smith said of
Vasquez.
Friday's win, though, appears to have come at a cost. Davis took
an inadvertent elbow to the temple in the second quarter and was
diagnosed with a mild concussion.
The No. 1 overall selection in this year's draft, who scored 21
points against the Spurs, recorded eight, six rebounds and two
blocks before exiting Friday. He will not accompany the team to
Chicago and is listed as day to day.
The Hornets are also dealing with Gordon's absence. Gordon, who
played in just nine games in 2011-12 and missed the entire
preseason, has yet to take the court due to a right knee injury.
Coach Monty Williams would not confirm a report that Gordon
would miss 4-to-6 weeks.
"I know things haven't been going as well as hoped," Gordon
said. "It's tough as a player to go through these things. You're
looking for the best from yourself, and you look forward to
doing what is best for the team. As a player, I definitely look
forward to helping this franchise and always look out for the
best for this team. It has been very frustrating not to be able
to play."
Bulls reserve Marco Belinelli, who spent the previous two
seasons with New Orleans, faces his former team for the first
time.
