Lisa Salters... oomph... just something so damn sexy about her sometimes.

Ten guesses on who that is...

Rose will probably play with the turf toe. Noah might with a sprained ankle. Taj Gibson is out for sure with a high ankle sprain. Luol Deng is definitely out with a wrist injury, not sure of the severity yet. John Lucas is questionable as well, but he doesn't matter much.

didnt realize chicago was hurting so badly right now. with deng out, im hoping deron shows up and we at least make it a competitive. its nice that marshon wont have to deal with deng, thats a very tough matchup for him.

Who's ready to lose? Even with against an injured Bulls team?!

lol the bulls starting 5 can be out to injury and the Nets would still give up 30 points in the first

I really, really hope that Rose doesn't play.

No Rose, no Deng, no Gibson, injured Noah...this should be a win for the Nets, in all honesty.

But if they have Rose, it's a wrap, because I see him going off.

And I think Deron's going to have a rough night tonight, partly because they're a great defensive team, and partly because Deron is coming off a good shooting night, so now he's due for a bad one, since that's been the theme so far this season.

Petro...

I nearly forgot about him because I was so busy. Why did you have to remind me?

Rose said that he thinks he'll play so I think he will.

Nets are 4-0 when Petro plays less than 4 minutes.

This will be flat out embarrassing if all those guys are out and we still lose.

I need one of those Petro shirts though, that **** is fiyah!

And so I was a little tossed up and a great angle made Lisa Salters look good, sue me! :lol:

We have excuses of our own. They are the #1 team in the league, we are on the 3rd end of a b-b-b, and don't have Lopez.

It won't be that embarrassing.

Plus they have been beating other teams with Rose out.

Marshon is nasty. Hope he doesn't go off on us tonight.

Excited to see Rose vs. D Will. These two have a great respect for each other and it's always fun watching them go head to head.

hope this game is injury free, we can't afford any more right now.. Good luck guys

Shelden Williams/ Stevenson/ Hump and Okur are all guys that give hard fouls. So Protect Ya Neck.

BadMojo · Post #18 » by **BadMojo** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 11:51 pm

They are saying Rose will play on Comcast Chicago and on ESPN.

I hope for a good game Nets fans and no major injuries to either team. Good luck.

Same here, fair enough we only have one major injury which is Brook but our team is so bad we can't afford any sort of missed times from our actual 'good' players.
