This should be fun! 3 games out of the 6th slot in the lottery. Someone was saying that gives us a 25% chance at the top 3.

EDIT: It's 21.5%

Kings next game vs Grizz :cry:

This Oakafor kat is overrated imo. But still an upgrade over Big Al

If we lose this one and the Celtics beat the Knicks and then beat us Friday we will jump up another spot in the lottery race.

I just saw on the bottom line where Rose is having meniscus surgery and is out.

Rose done for awhile with a meniscus tear. Obviously horrible for him, but we have every shot at a win against an Aaron Brooks run Bulls team.

Horrible news, it seems like that guy just can't catch a break. Every generation has that one great talent who gets destroyed by injuries, I guess Rose really is the new Penny/Hill. I was hoping with the advances in medicine it might be a different story for him. Even though it's good for the Hornets tonight this news really put a damper on my afternoon. Damn.

I think Joakim will be on the trade market this offseason. I wonder who will be interested?

His game relies on athleticism way too much.

His jumper improved but not to the point that he can alter the way he plays the game.


He's about cooked imo, very sad.

I think we have a good shot at this one honestly, the Bulls have been very beatable recently.

This isn't going to be a battle of who's better, it's going to be a battle of who sucks the least.

Both point guards out with meniscus tears what are the chances. Seems like a very common injury for point guards (Russell Westbrook 2 years ago)

I have a feeling the Bulls are going to play inspired basketball tonight in light of Rose's injury. They've still been pretty damn good without Rose the last couple years, so I definitely don't think the Rose injury is the end of the world for them.

Rose isn't getting better. Hate to say it, but it's hard to see a future for him past his current contract.

Does Cliff switch MKG off Dunleavy and put him on Butler? I really hope so I see no chance of Hendo guarding Jimmy.

MKG on Butler will be fun to watch.

MKG will be better imo.

Jimmy Butler is an inspiration though, his hard work is a testament to him and I wish him nothing but success.
