A game against our first round opponent! If we win we definitely play them, so it would be nice to send a message.

The key is stopping Reggie Evans!

Willie Green and Reggie Evans really makes that line-up look laughable.

rest paul and ray, start Marbury and TA in their place and play them big minutes...

outcome of the game means nothing if our stars arent on the court, but as i said in another thread it would be great for one of our bench guys like steph, baby or eddie to go off on a 25-30 pt outburst and really put another thing in the minds of the 6'ers coaches and players come playoff time

Hard to predict what'll happen since we're probably going to sit our starters most of the game...still, we should pull out the win.

Sit Pierce, Rondo, Allen and Perkins. Even if we lose, this is a meaningless game. Use Marbury, Moore, Baby, Pruitt, House and other guys.

This has the potential to be the perfect game for marbury to bust out, no great guard defenders and the starters (well paul and ray) sitting, start him at the 2 guard and give him the green light all game

Well, we still need to win tonight to make sure we play PHI in the playoffs and not CHI...

It would be nice to confirm that by our own actions...we'll see!

Rest the starters.....don't show too much......get healthy. Wins do not matter for us now.

Please dont sit your starters, Id really prefer the Bulls not play the Celts in the 1st round, and i think the Celts will have an easier time beating the Sixers even though youd win either series so make us happy and yourselves happy, beat the Sixers to make a Bulls/Magic series more likely

if the bulls beat toronto they clinch the 6th spot though right?

I hope they try for your sake. It's a beautiful day; why not make BULLS4LIFE2 happy?

^Haha, right on, bro...either way we'll win, though, so who cares?

I can't decide between CHI/PHI.

CHI has more talent.. but we should have that edge overall.

And PHI is more physical.. and we need to have the least physical route we can to the ECF...

I think we can still pull ourselfs together in the first round and beat CHI. And with Ty Thomas/Brad Miller/Tim Thomas.. that only leave Aron Gray or Noah as physical guys.. that should suit Powe and KG the best. Probuly could work their way into their games better against them.

Reggie Evans is a beast and Spreights + Dally can get physical. I'd rather have our frontcourt working into game motion against CHI's bigs. Dispite the talent diffrential.

Bulls fan here. Begging you guys to win this game so that Bulls don't have to face you in the first round. And IMHO, I think it will probably be easier for you guys to face Philly than the Bulls too, as Bulls have been really hot since all star break (18-10 I think). You guys would still win the series, but I feel Bulls would give you a tougher 1st round matchup than Philly.

It's always smart to avoid the hot team (Chicago). I think the Celtics should aim to do just enough to win this game, but it doesn't seem likely that the Celtics are going to make a strong effort to win tonight... we'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

Those aren't Bulls Fans... I think Bulls can beat the Celtics, no one knows how bad KG is... and it's not like Ray Allen and PP has been doing anything lately. We all know what Bulls did to the defending Champions in the first round last time...

Unless us Bulls fans are Downplaying... hmmmm

I mean, Yeah those Celtics are a tough Cookie... we don't want any of that.

^Dude, the Bulls are playing well, no doubt, but there is no way they are going to beat the Celtics...none...

After I seen what Cavs did to Boston... The Celtics don't have that hunger.

And you don't know what KG will show up... given he is better than all of Bulls big men, even when he is not healthy... I just think, if Bulls drive to the basket with Rose and Salmons... look for a 6-7 game series.
