Smith and Horford vs. Booz and Noah. The battle we've all been waiting for. This is going to be a fun game to watch. I hope Rose posterizes Hinrich too.

EDIT: Also the "easy win" trolls are annoying. You're not funny or clever. You're just annoying.

Tough, tough game. Doubt the Bulls will be favored.

If you guys haven't noticed, every recent game thread has a post that says "easy win" (probably from the same guy). It's not meant to be taken seriously.

We need this win. Like really need it. If we can win this, and since we are more likely to lose fri, we can hopefully go in and beat miami sunday, and take second in the east. This is a must win right now.

Rose and Noah both with a 20 20 game.

MissileMike · Post #27 » by **MissileMike** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:35 pm

The bulls will be the underdog in all 3 of these games. Rationally, I am hoping for just 1 win out of the three. The best opportunity is to win vs the hawks, but I won't care as long as they get 1.

easy win

Post #29 » by **alucryts** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 4:39 pm

after this stretch of games (up till NOH on monday), the schedule is going to get extremely light the rest of the way. the next 4 games are extremely important if we want to win 60 games this year for two reasons: they will be the hardest road games we have the rest of the year, and it, for me at least, will be a barometer as to how we can compete on the road with a full squad. the toronto game was for me at the time of the loss an indication of us certainly not winning 60, but im willin to chalk that one up as a first game back thing and move on if we win 3 of our next 4.

i think that we will win 2 games of the next 4: orlando and hornets. id love to be wrong tho obviously

I know Atlanta is no pushover, and we haven't exactly been great on the road, but I don't see how we're underdogs in this one. Should be a good one, and I hope we really get this one, especially if we end up losing vs the Magic and Heat.

I think we win ATL, Lose in ORL, Lose in MAI, Beat NO.

I think the biggest win we need is against MAI. It will get us a good spot and the #2 in the East. The Bos celts has a very easy schedule the rest of the way. If we want a shot at catching them, we need to come out over .500 the next 4 games. And we need some of these weaker squads to beat Bos. Their next four is Suns, GSW, Bucks, LAC. We need them to lose at least two.

ya 1 seed looks grim. i think if we can pull out 60 wins we might be able to snatch it as i think boston will pull back starter minutes.

If we want the 1 seed, these games are absolutely must-wins with Orlando and Miami following. I think we'll win and lose the next two because I don't think Atlanta is particularly good. Our struggles on the road may end up biting us but we are the more talented team IMO.

CjayC · Post #34 » by **CjayC** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 5:58 pm

Win two of the next 3 and I'll be thrilled.

Didn't we beat Orlando without Noah before? I think that is a winnable task. So happy that they traded away all of their size and ability to stretch the floor.

Chicago1Rose · Post #35 » by **Chicago1Rose** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 6:11 pm

we'll win all 3.

once rose sweeps the heat, it won't be any doubt of MVP

JDRochholz · Post #36 » by **JDRochholz** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 6:37 pm

It's going to be close throughout, but I expect the Bulls to pull away in the final 5 minutes.

Bulls 101-91

SpinninHouse · Post #37 » by **SpinninHouse** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 8:23 pm

We're a better defensive team, our coaching is superior, and we have the best player on the floor by a landslide. Having said, we'll probably squeek out a 3-point win.

Bulls 96, Hawks 93.

Rose 21 points, 7 assists, 4 boards
Booz 25 points, 7 boards
Noah 18 points, 16 boards

Hortford 26 points, 16 boards, 5 blocks
Johnson 26 points (5-9 3PT)

Exactly. If we can win versus either the Hawks or the Magic and then beat Miami, then we will be the 2 seed. We need to go on a good strong run these next few games

cool007 · Post #39 » by **cool007** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 10:47 pm

If Bulls want to have a chance at winning the 2nd or 1st seed, they need to win 1 of Atl/Orl game and definitely win against Miami.

That will do couple of things.

1 - It will give us a big time confidence boost and will show everyone including Bulls fans that BULLIEVE, we can make the finals.

2 - We will be very close to 60-wins after that as the rest of the way is much easier. Meaning Rose will most likely be the YOUNGEST MVP EVER!!!

Let's do this. Not easy but this is where we take that next step - RIGHT NOW! Not next year or later, RIGHT NOW!!!

Who holds the record for youngest MVP, and how old were they?
