Can the Bulls finally get back to 0.500 or will they continue to tease us? Coby is questionable to return.

Despite the Rockets injuries, they’ve won 6 in a row and Jalen Green is playing like an all star recently which is something I didn’t see coming.

And the Rockets are 23-11 at home. Better than the Clippers. One of biggest HCAs in the league. Definitely not a game to take lightly.

I agree. People have been lumping this game in the Wizards and Portland etc. like we should be assuming a win. Houston is good and getting better. This is a tough game.

that is fair. I have been lumping them in with Portland and Washington, to be fair, I didn't think they'd respond to a Sengun injury by going 4-0.

In Bulls fan logic this means they're better without Sengun and should trade him. I kid... kind of.

To be realistic 4 of these 6 wins have come against Washington, Portland, and San Antonio. 3 of the worst teams in the league. Credit where credit is due for their wins against Cleveland and Sacramento.

Am interested to see if Coby plays. Am interested to see if Caruso plays. Could certainly use both.

Hoping good Vuc continues to show up, and hopefully some good Drummond too. Without Sengun they're starting Jabari Smith at center. We often use the double big lineups to match other teams when they go big, could be an opportunity to go big and see if the now very small Rockets can match it, or if we just feast on 2nd chance opportunities.

Houston is going to put up an enormous amount of 3's - if they hit them at a good rate we face getting out mathed. If we defend the 3-point line and limit 2nd chance opportunities we'll win.

They shoot 2 more 3s a game than we do, it's not like we're playing the Celtics or the Warriors. But yeah if any team gets hot from the 3 point line against us we get cooked because we don't have the shooters to keep up with that.

Hopefully Jalen Green cools down. He's been on a heater.

Also, Amen Thompson looks to be a future star. One of the best athletes I've ever seen. Can't shoot, but cannot be stopped getting to the basket. He is going to be a lethal all around player with his rebounding, plus defense, and playmaking feel.

Bright future for Houston.
