Does Gordon have the most underutilized guns in the league? Dude is built like a damn tank..he should be drawing fouls at Corey Maggette rates

Josh Howard's Shrit is just killing me right now :lol:

It's about time I had to make a fancy game thread.

Afterall, I am the winningest gamethread starter this year

Here is hoping that Rose produces the same way he did in the preseason against Dallas in Dallas.

Rose has yet to score 30 in a game in the regular season. Hoping this game he does it and Bulls win.

lol! well done indeed.

This is gonna be a tough game, Mavs are playing very well right now. If we can beat the Mavs in Dallas I will be thoroughly impressed with this team.

I think the bulls blow them out. It seems like a long shot. But lets face it, Mav's are on the way down, getting old. I think Tyrus has a great defensive game along with ben gordon(30 points)

You do realize that the Mavs have won 4 in a row and 7 of their last 9 right..those teams included Orlando, Portland and Detroit..they've been playing very good ball lately and should be heavy favorites against us

that picture of ben gordon makes me wish he could get mad just once and beat someone up.

Mavs are playing better as of late, i heard Carlisle has finally given Kidd free reign to call most the plays, and it's working very well for them. If the bulls play as hard as they have been, I think they can win this. This isn't like Houston where they have tank after tank for their front court, so in a game where it's all about backcourts and jumpshots, i think the bulls can take this

The Bulls came back from large 1st quarter deficit early in the season against Dallas. If the Bulls play with the same intensity level as they have recently then they will win.

Rose needs to be aggressive. Bulls win...

If Rose coasts...then there's no chance.

Lol !!!

How tall is Ben Gordan ? I know he's a shorty but damn I must agree that he is built quite like a tank . Funny picture of Tyrus , he looks adorable =]. I laughed out loud when I saw that Jason Kidd pic - sweet.

Was that picture of Noah suppose to be a joke ? Hmmmm....

Great Picture of Dirk and Kidd.

We should win this game by double figures based on the strength of this thread alone. :lol:

Utah is absolutely killing Dallas tonight (Thursday) - up by 24 roughly half way through the 4th quarter.

I just can't decide if that means the Mavs are pissed and come out strong against the Bulls, or if this means that recent hot streak of theirs is over and the Bulls continue with their surprisingly strong road trip record.

Jazz just blew out Dallas.

This game is very winnable.

The Explorer · Post #18 » by **The Explorer** » Fri Feb 6, 2009 6:20 am

Utah's building is a very tough place to play in. Dallas will be much better at home. I expect the Bulls to lose by at least 8.

chicagobull · Post #19 » by **chicagobull** » Fri Feb 6, 2009 6:34 am

Good point, although arguable since Jazz has been playing pretty poor at home this year compared to years before, then again they had a lot of injuries.

Still, it was a game over before half time. Lakers managed to beat the Celtics in Boston and that's a very tough place to play as well. I'm not saying we're the Lakers but I do think we can beat Dallas. Especially the way we're playing lately.
