Gamethread: Brook Lopez Returns vs. Bulls?

For the twelfth time this year, the Nets are playing the Bulls. But I heard some dude named Brook Lopez may play this time. Just a heads up though, this is an early game.
Nets injuries:
Bulls injuries: Derrick Rose.
LET'S MEET THE TEAMS.

PG - Deron Williams and his headband.
SG - MarShon Brooks and his swag.
SF - DeShawn Stevenson and $5 bills y'all.
PF - Kris Humphries and his health.
C - BROOK LOPEZ?!?!? and his POST PRESENCE (Probably Shelden Williams and his bricks, though)

CHICAGO BULLS
PG - C.J. Watson
SG - Ronnie Brewer
SF - Luol Deng
PF - Carlos Boozer
C - Joakim Noah
FUN FACTS:
It's been tough for Carlos Boozer lately. We all saw his own family root against him during the Bulls/Heat game, and now he's going through an identity crisis:

Vegas has the O/U on Joakim Noah battle cries at 11.5 (-120). Lock of the year.
Predictions: Brook Lopez plays significant minutes, unwraps Joakim Noah's bun and sends him back to Florida.

Rip Hamilton is also out for Chicago and our starting point guard is CJ Watson not John Lucas III

PLEASE! I hope Lopez plays tonight. He's been saying that he feels great, so let's hope they give him a shot today.

I'm thinking that Brook probably won't play today. But I sure would like it if he did.

I wonder if we can get Balkman in time to get him in the starting lineup. It's sad but we need him big time.

Balkman is gross, he'll be out the league by this offseason.

NI (of NetsDaily) is saying that Brook Lopez is definitely playing today.

I hope Lopez plays, but I doubt Avery lets him. He prefers Petro over all C's.

Another reason for Nets fans to take up polo: at STARTING small forward, #Nets outscored 486-182 (15.7-to-5.9 per), outrebounded 140-104
Holy ****

Fred Kerber @FredKerber: Lopez is clean shaven. Why? "I thought I might play"

Chris Carrino @ChrisCarrino: According to Avery, Brook sits again today, starts tomorrow vs Mil at The Rock. Listen to our interview at 4 on @WFAN660. Pregame 3:50.
Dumb.

Yeah, I don't see us keeping this up. The Bulls minus Rose are still a damn good team, and their defense looks terrible right now. It's only a matter of time before they shut us down, and they catch fire.
Call me a pessimist.
