Slam's Key To Winning:
Keep it simple. Don’t try to force/over do things.

Slam's Key Match Up:
Nazzy/Gana Vs Noah. He is one of only two guys rebounding better in the NBA than Crash and gives the Bulls a lot of energy.

Slam's Danger Guy:
Rose. We have always seemed to handle him well in the past but he is starting to hit some form of late.

Gana with 5 blocks.

Big game as we will probably be fighting with Chicago for the last playoff spots positioning. They are coming off the tail end of a back-to-back and they suck on the road so I'll be very disappointed if we don't take this one.

I got a bad feeling about it.

We get road win against elite team.
We are pretty decent at home.
We are pretty sure we will win this game.

I tell you. For Charlotte, there is no sure win games, as we most probably screw those games and lose.

I hope I am wrong.

I'm thinking Fats should have made this thread. He has his mojo working of late.

Puts my 2-5 record to shame.

Might be time for me to hang the old GT boots up!

Bulls had a tough loss last night. Hopefully this turn around leaves them a little tired. And with our rest and some good momentum, this should be a win.
Cats: 96
Bulls: 84

Bulls tidbits:

If Rose doesn't score 25+ then look for Bulls to lose. Rose is our main (sometimes only) weapon that can carry the Bulls. He has been super aggressive and getting to the line a lot as well.

Last night, Rose was mugged time after time and I mean literally mugged but refs just swallowed the whistles. Under normal circumstances and normal (without bet) refs and Rose would have gotten atleast 6-8 times more to the line (Salmons also got hosed). They didn't blow the whistles, through off Bulls and their rhythm and other players started missing open jumpers while Thunder kept making shots.

Thunder won. Vinny is not a smart coach and made some mistakes but it was combination of things.

Look for Larry Brown to outcoach vinny tonight.

Keys to stopping Bulls tonight - VERY EASY - build a wall around Rose so he can't get to the basket, let other chuckers shoot and watch them shoot 25% - 30% and Bulls lose by double digits.

Really, it's that easy.

Complaining to Bobcats' fans about the refs is a bit iffy.

This is a huge game for us. A win, and we could be looking at .500 or better at the end of January with our favorable schedule and nearly all home games.

No excuses tonight...we can't blow this one.
