Unicorn takes his talents to the Wolves

If we lose this game I blame everyone who complained about not having a time/channel in the title. I added one which I found on nba.yahoo.com don't know if it's accurate so someone may want to confirm, however I don't like breaking the trend I had for the format, but sick of reading complaints so it's there, if we lose this game, those who complained blame yourselves! :evil:

Bulls look better in my opinion in back to backs, being at home need to keep winning, especially against a Wolves team that played today and has to travel

Noah vs Love on the boards will be interesting, one thing I've noticed about Love is he goes after the ball but he doesn't box out his man as well as Noah, so there could be some opportunities for Boozer on the offensive glass

Keys to the game
- Don't fight each other for rebounds!

- Bulls 8-2 at home, Wolves 1-11 on the road
*not sure if that's before tonights game, but either way, they aren't a good road team and the Bulls must defend their home court

It's going to be a tough game, especially for our big men. We can't allow Love to get a million offensive rebounds, we need to rebound well. Also, since Beasley plays like no defense at all, go hard at him.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Lol @ the Noah pic! I predict we win easily and cruise throughout the game.

We can really stretch this winning streak during this stretch.

What's going on with the wrap on Noah's right thumb?

I first noticed it last Monday when I was at the game. His thumb injury looks to be bothering him a little bit because he his not finish around the rim with authority. I hope his thumb injury isn't serious, let me know Bulls fans.

I'm actually looking forward to see a Wolves game if that's possible. Kevin Love and Michael Beasley are fun to watch imo.

I'm actually surprised the Timberwolves have a large fanbase on RealGM

I was wondering what kind of player Michael Beasley is, what does he do well and some of his weaknesses.

also, how loul Deng matches up with him. If Loul can be efficient on offense and make Beasley inefficient on defense. I think the bulls can take care of business.

However, i do want to mention i don't mind Noah spending all his time boxing out Love for the entire game, and the whole team is gonna have to help with rebounding.

I can see Love going for some ridiculous 29 points, 24 rebounds(14 offensive). if this happens....

:o ..... :nonono: :nonono:
