Rip Hamilton is starting for the Bulls now Nolan. He just came back.
The Bulls just played a close game against the Hornets today and barely squeaked out the win. So they're flying from Chicago to San Antonio to play us. Still, despite that being what I would called a "scheduling loss" (playing a tough team far away on the road as part of a b2b), the Bulls would've gotten a real game in recently whereas the Spurs haven't played in 6 days.
Even worse, we haven't played in San Antonio in nearly a month. So I also worry that we might end up losing anyway. We need to come out firing in the first quarter if we're to have any hope of taking the game. Not having Splitter is going to hurt. No Ginobili and Ford obviously blows too. . .the Bulls have a ton of depth so Tony's going to get worn out.
We need Green and Neal to step up. Tony and Timmy also need to have strong games. Sucks not having so many of our players. :\ It'd mean a lot if we knocked off the Bulls. Too many people are pretending like the Heat and Bulls are the only real teams in the NBA this year. The Heat never even come to San Antonio to play so we can't get revenge for the early game @Miami right after Ginobili went down. So I'd like to knock off the Bulls. . .but with all these injuries, not looking like a strong possibility right now. Bulls have almost all their players right now.

I have the feeling we're gonna lose this game.
What about T.J. Ford?
