Poor Aaron. As a starter, he has faced a Death Gauntlet of PGs. Where are the Knicks when we need them?

Another game? 4 games in 5 nights is a bit much even for me. And I don't even play in the games, all I do is watch them

Teams playing at home in back-to-backs win 60% of the time, which is the same record as teams playing at home overall. No disadvantage for us.

Our biggest hope is Mirotic on Randolph.

Silver has said that he will review the schedule to make it easier on the players. This may be the last year we have 4 games in 5 nights.

It sucks watching these games and knowing they pretty much have no shot at winning. Just counting the days 'till Butler & Rose are back.

Will be a tough one. Hope we can pull it out, but I'm doubtful......but I'd love to be wrong.

Yeah, like when we played the Clippers in LA without Rose and Gasol, or when we faced the Warriors in Golden State where they had won 20 in a row, or when the Cavs were on roll and we had to face them without Butler.

#Bulls are wearing the green uniforms tonight for St. Patrick's Day. Next home game isn't until Mar. 18 because of Big Ten tourney.

Nah, it's not like that. It's the fact that we're shorthanded (missing both Butler and Rose) and we're playing 4 in 5 days and these last two against SA and now Memphis on a b2b. It just takes a toll on the team, I can't expect them to win a game like this. They could, but I don't expect it.

I'm optimistic about this game, I didn't think the bulls had ANY chance of beating San Antonio playing in the morning after a B2B and with the spurs streaking, BUT now after two loses and having the chance of actually sleeping in their own bed, I think our guys can pull this off.

Brooks is shooting better and the team in general is shooting better %s and I don't think Niko is gonna keep missing so many 3s. So I think we win this one.
