This will be a tough game. Bulls have been playing pretty good since the Porter trade, and Lauri is a very solid player. I expect us to split these next 2 games, but if we can take them both it will be huge in maintaining that sixth seed.

Bulls are playing better lately so we need to take them seriously. We are still easily the better team so just show up and take care of business. Hopefully Brown can slow down Lavine. That will be key.

The Bulls starting 5 is better then their record indicates, much better in fact. I am a huge fan of the big fin and Lavine is to dumb to realize he shouldn't be as good as he is. Dunn and Lopez are solid, and Otto is an above average SF.

they are young and prone to mistakes and if the Pistons continue their play of the past 12, this should be a victory, but it will not come easy.

Both games should be taken seriously. If the team slacks, they will lose bad.

Pretty much what everyone has said above. The Bulls haven't really been tanking hard as of late... Their last win against Philly could give them a lot of confidence going into this game. The team can't start believing in their own hype... They gotta keep believing in the system & each other, keep playing the right way, play hard & smart.

Hope the rest of the guys are up to it... Blake might be nursing some aches & pains, and seems to have dialled it down in order to recover & get back to 100% for the playoffs.

P.S.: Aside from Zaza, ESPN has Luke on day-to-day. Hope Wayne & Langston can bring it in this game.

How is that a foul on Drummond? Let alone a shooting foul...

OK, I'm watching now. Time to start ballin', fellas.

Go to work on WCJ, Dre. Rookie can't check you.

EDIT: or whoever that was

Thon couldn't handle a pass? I'm so shocked...

Lucky to only be down 6 after the first with all those shots going in. Time to pick it up.

That first quarter everything...yikes

I mean, if you threw a pass at a baby deer, do you think he would catch it? Comedy with Thon sometimes.

Ish Smith, speed with ball: 99

Bench mob rollin... Ish with the speed, Thon with the blocks, Luke with the touch.

Our bench has been so good. Even Galloway has been more consistent. Knock on wood

Our 2nd unity is good. Ish and Kennard can score and Maker knows his role and is doing it well. 2 blocks and some rebounds, that's so much better than SJ.

The combo of Langston and Kennard is one of the best in the league off the bench. It's not normal to have two bench guys who are absolutely lethal at the 3point line. Its absurd when both are hot. Add in ish who gets into the lane at will and you've got a recipe for sweet, sweet string music.

Thon does everything slow... so slow. Except reach for shots. Natural shot blocker, unnatural everything else. Sort of effective, though.

No defense

That effort from Kennard on D made me angry. C'mon, Luke.
