No brogdan no sabonis we need to take this win

Hopefully it's in a blow out to get some guys some rest as we are playing every other day i think until the season ends.

They both playing tonight, they only sat because of the back to back. They will certainly play tonight as they are fighting for the playoff spot just like us. They will probably sit them vs Minny tomorrow.

I like our matchup with them now that we have Vuc and Thad starting. Turner and Sabonis normally kill our frontcourt and they didn't have to play defense on the other end that much but with Vuc and Thad, they both will have to play defense and exert a lot of energy to tire them in the 4th.

Turner is a good shot blocker, we need to play Vuc and Lavine pick and pop a lot to keep Turner out of the paint.

Low turnovers and making our open 3s will be the key to winning this game as well as the next few.

Just win, get some momentum and get my interest up in the last month of the season.

That would probably look and make every Bulls fan feel pretty awesome. But do you believe that feat automatically translates to a win?

Blow out? Sounds like a reach. What do you make of TJMcConnell?

My 1st thought is that teams don't win games by letting 2 players on the other team score 30 or more points.

Is it possible that it could happen?

I think that if one was to run a query on the topic then there must be at least one game in history where 2 players scored at least 30 points and that team lost.

But I don't think that it's happened a lot.

I love the guy, his game is so fun. When he was on Philly I thought of him as I now think of Arci, but T.J. turned out to be on another level.

Big game from a playoff seeding perspective. This game will determine who has the tiebreaker between the Bulls and the Pacers.

I'd like to see Zach return to pre-ASG form, and show some chemistry with Vuc.

Speaking of TJ McConnell, we'd have a pretty steady point guard rotation if we had both he and Sato on the roster. They wouldn't blow anyone's sock's off, but we'd be getting 48 minutes of incredibly smart PG play. They're also two guys who would do a great job of getting the ball to our scorers.

TJ would make a good stopgap PG if AK whiffs next year on bringing in a starting caliber PG. He'd also fit the timeline of a win now team being 29 years old as a solid role player off the bench. He had a triple double with steals not too long ago that was super impressive

Fair enough. Yes, would be a fun stat to know how many times that has happened. Both how often 2 players score each 30+ points and how many times that's enough for a win.

Yeah, my point was people shouldn't get fixated with one or two players and overlook the others.

Missing one or two high-end talents doesn't automatically mean the team is out of the equation. Players like McConnell can catch a few people napping.

Getting a little schedule luck these past two games. Gotta take advantage of it.

I'm pretty sure the Bulls this year, lead the league in dodging their opponents top 2 players. I don't think they've faced a good team at full strength (in terms of their top guys) all year outside of Portland at the very beginning of the season.

I'll only start worrying when Donovan tells the media that "Daniel has to sleep on some things we talked about".

You're in a jolly mood tonight. I like this version of you. I got a 12 pack and a bottle of crown for the game if you're in the hood.

I am gonna guzzle on every Zach 3 pointer and take a shot on every turnover.
