So is Deng playing or not? I can't find any info on that.

And if Noah isn't playing, Tyrus probably will get alot of minutes tonight.

Should be a win.

The last I heard Deng's status was 'uncertain'.

[NLK]

Dont know if this has been reported yet.

But the Bulls had a team meeting, and decided that Noah should sit one more game.

No joke.

WTF! Ugh! We need some angry BULLS Fan to kid nap Boylan et al. Big freakin' deal a guy like Noah speaks up, dude's mad as hell about losing and is competitive. Give him minutes and he shall deliver!

I'm really starting to hate this team... so the meeting called by friggin Ben Wallace argues to sit the guy who gets on the floor and makes him look like the useless, overpaid piece of garbage he is?

Shocking.

It was his teamates that had him benched this game, not Boylan.

[Shinky]

Deng will play today. Not start, but he will play.

[Bull Shak]

Gordon and Deng coming off the bench for the rest of the season together.

[Rerisen]

I hope your kidding about the Noah stuff. How many games did 'the team' bench Ben Wallace for last year when he pulled headband-gate?

[Bull Shak]

Has Boylan changed the starting lineup yet?

If not, I'm tempted to not check in on this game till about the 4:00 minute mark of the first when Duhon and hopefully Wallace, are out of the game and see if the Bulls are competitive at that point.

I did that last game, and we were down like 24-7 by the time I got to the game.

[nerfinator39]

looks like the team is in a good mood today.

[Shinky]

I dont see Noah anywhere. I wonder if he's pouting in the lockeroom?

[nerfinator39]

this might be the longest starting lineup announcement ever

[umfan83]

Do we se red jerseys anymore?

Michael Jordan is rolling in his grave.

[girlygirl]

Obviously the players are tired of Noah's conined problems with being late, forgetting plays, etc. If his teammates are making this stand, hopefully Joakim will wake up and listen to the message. There's nothing wrong with speaking up if you are a rookie, but not if you are not fulfilling your responsibilities on and off the court. In fact, that should be true of all the players, not just the rooks.

[girlygirl]

Hinrich and Duhon -- NOT Hinrich and Gordon, there Wayne!

[girlygirl]

Kirk can't afford to flop when guarding JJ...he usually does a good job defending Johnson, but he has to stay on him, not fall to the floor trying to draw fouls

[Polynice4Pippen]

Joe S going all 12-year vet on Josh S.

[nerfinator39]

nice d duhon.

[girlygirl]

The coaches are yelling at Duhon to switch defensive assignments so Kirk doesn't pick up a second quick foul...and C-Doo promptly loses JJ leaving him wide open for the 3

Then Kirk throws the ball away

Better defense by Duhon on JJ next time down, though

A second straight turnover leads to more points in transition

Put Kirk back on JJ...Duhon is too small to guard him effecively

[Polynice4Pippen]

Wallace was either held or made no effort for that rebound. Thankfully he was held. Too bad the refs didn't call it.
