A winnable game. I'll be so angry if we couldn't manage to win this one.

BF1 needs to look like BF1 again. They played great on Wednesday with Roberts at PG. They just need to simplify and get back to basics. No Butler, there's the superstar down. Rose looks better, there's Gasol to deal with but we have almost all our horses and we're home. But come out with force and play it like a must-win game. No slacking. Get to .500.

A EC opponent that is sliding in the playoff rankings = must win game.

Is Butler out? If he is, this game should be a win if we show up and play 48 minutes of NBA caliber basketball

The hornets can't sleep on any team.....the bulls without Butler is still a very talented team, I like their young talents...

Do they still remember the early season demolition?

We really need to take this one, everything is in our favor. Getting back to .500 and just on the outside of the playoff race by the all-star break would be huge after that big skid. Get everyone back healthy and push hard over the home stretch without having to dig ourselves out of a hole.

Good call, was wondering the same thing but didn't think to check their schedule.

Good chance we will out play you for 3 quarters and then fall apart in the fourth and lose. Or not, but either way im pretty sure you can expect to smack us around in the 4th.

I have a similar view minus the outplaying them for three quarters part.
After Rose broke both his knees, I gave up on the hope that we'd make it to the NBA Finals again. It will probably be decades before we see another championship. Hello Treadmill, here we come.

It's the shoes!

Haha, there's a lot of doom and gloom on the Bulls board.

Fisher fired, who's next? Well, Knicks are out of the playoff race unless they go on some insane run with their next coach. Don't see that happening. So it's another team not to worry about. If Hornets get to .500 here and go on a run, 8th spot can happen.

If we can finally get and stay healthy we should set our sights higher. We want to avoid playing Cleveland in the first round. We typically play the Raptors well, so I'm hoping we can secure a match up against them.

That works out well then, because I can guarantee you we will fall apart for at least one quarter as well, likely the 3rd. The final half will be a roller coaster, like usual

Lately 3Qs have been good and 2Qs we've been horrible. And then lulls in the 4Q.

I hope Cliff shortens the bench. Lamb, Lin, Frank and a little Hawes.
