This will be a tough game, Indy on a roll. Hill has been playing great. Thankfully we had a day of rest. We need to come out early with energy, and be leading going into Q2 for a change.

They have lost 2 straight now but ya before that they were dicing the league up. Now it is Boston making charges in the east. The battle for the 7 and 8 seed in the east is gonna be fun with 4 teams at 30-36 (charlotte is actually 29-36 but close enough).

Should be a win for us. After the news today of Taj Butler and Rose, the team will be pumped wanting to win getting ready for their comeback.

Need another win, especially against a division foe. It probably won't matter much because Cleveland will surpass us......but in the unlikely event that the stumble a bit, would be nice to get the win because we need it badly. I know many people say every win counts the same, but division wins count more when you're fighting for the division crown.

we are essentially playing the 2014 Bulls, a team with no star and has a bad offense but play exceptional defense. If we match their effort we will win, just that simple.

Yep, soon as George went down, and then they lost Lance, I said our 2014 team should be their role model. They had the coach and personnel to make it happen.

Sick of losing to these guys though.

Seems you might still will be sick come Thursday. Bulls just don't play Indy well and West is a big bully. The Bulls just don't have the wing or PG play to keep up with Indy. Pau and Niko will have to have dominating games in order to open it up for Snell. If Snell gets at least 15 then the Bulls have a chance because it would mean Pau and Niko are killing it on the blocks.

Bulls won 48 games tho, so basically these guys are a sub .500/poor man's version of last years bulls.

IND 101
CHI 96
We will find a way to lose this game, we always do. I think we are averaging like 15 turnovers per game.

Alright, enough of us feeling sorry for ourselves. I want the smackdown put on these fools. The Indy City meets the Windy City. It's time to show the league what a Bull is.

TimRobbins · Post #18 » by **TimRobbins** » Wed Mar 18, 2015 8:02 am

Pacers have one of the top defenses in the League. Mirotic struggles against West. I really don't think we can generate enough offense to beat them.

maynardo · Post #19 » by **maynardo** » Wed Mar 18, 2015 11:29 am

We need these two games at home, even if bulls don't get to the 3rd seed. Right now the tie braker with washington is the better conference record, so we need to keep beating east teams.

Pacers tend to pack the crap outta the paint against the bulls, if Snell and Dun Dun are having a good shooting night we'll prolly kill them.

Jimmy is close and my guess is Taj is even closer than him. Guys just need to hold the fort.

These guys have been clowning us for the past 3 years. I hope the Bulls are as tired of that as I am, because if they are, Chicago wins tonight.
