Chicago (5-4) @ Sacramento (5-4)

I'm not too upset, the bulls played a good game and we had one of those games where shots don't fall and everyone was a little off. It's gonna happen.

I think we missed Nocioni tonight. He's been shooting the ball great. The young team seemed to get down some when things didn't go their way. Thompson and Hawes especially seem to get frustrated and it shows in their games.

Another factor is we didn't move the ball well at all (Except for Sergio). A game like this to me shows why we need Kevin. His ability to create his own shot and minimize the damage of another teams run is huge for us. We were right on the edge, being down 10-13 points the whole second half. We needed someone to get hot and hit a few three's in a row to get us going. Even Cisco has been known to hit big shots, so it'll be interesting to see how he fits back in too.

Bulls fan here. Just wanted to mention that the Kings look a lot better this year. I really like Tyreke and he played well against both Derrick and Salmons. You guys need defense and he definitely brings that. I think you guys made the right pick. Its too bad Noce and K Mart are out. I think those two would have made a difference in this game. I don't know if it would have won it for you, but they are both solid players. I can see why you guys had won 4 (?) in a row. Have you guys played Evans at SF at all? With Martin and Beno, I'd probably play all three of them and have Noce off the bench. Anyway, Good Luck.

I love the fight from this team...Last year the team would have given up in the 2nd when things started to get bad.

I am happy at the love the team is getting from Bulls posters. Seems like the rest of the league is starting to realize that the Kings are no longer the doormat of the NBA.

I think Cisco is going to add amazing chemistry when he gets back, his heart, hustle and outside shooting will complemate this team perfectly. And he is a vocal leader.

And he is a vocal leader.

i hope he sings better than the guys at the beggining of the game

I dunno if its just me but i highly doubt cisco helping us out that much when he comes back. I means hes broke his shooting arm I don't see him coming back and helping us out too much with his offense.

Well....presumably he would come back when that arm is healed.

I will say that the team shouldn't just play him right away, but give him time to find his stroke again, because it should take him some time to get back into the swing of things.

All true, but it's not like he can't work on OTHER areas of his game now. He should become a LOT more ambidextrous at this point, as he should be working on shooting with his left hand, and IMO adding a low-post game with his left too. His ball-handling should improve there too.
