A much too early game thread.

Featuring the return of Paul George. Let's hope we don't see too much of this:

Let's hope we see a bunch of this:

Always a tough match-up. Especially with Paul George rounding into form.

Let's keep it going.

Paul George doesn't look like he's missed a beat. He's even gotten better it seems.

This is a team Rose has always had that "hate" for. Hopefully this wakes him up and gets him to play with some effort...namely defensively. Also hoping to see another solid game from Jo.

Beware Pacers, Chicago has El Capitan Thrust back.

Paul George playing like an MVP. Going to be fun going against the Pacers. I hope.

Pacers are playing great ball right now, especially PG.

Hopefully the team gets up for this game, there's a bit of rivalry here.

PG could give Butler a tough night on both ends, so we will need someone other than just Pau to score more than 10 points...We will probably see a lot of Moore on Ellis this game...

That's a two-way street. Butler can give PG a tough night on both ends too....

Easy win

The central division is the best division this year for matchups. Gonna have the best rivalries going forward from this year for the next 3-5 years with how young all teams are. This will be a fun game, gonna miss it most likely unfortunately, but hope the bulls win

Are the Bulls still in the NBA? I am having schedule pains.

But at the end of the day, a top form PG > top form JB

In a vacuum yeah....

But we really haven't seen top form George defended by or defending Butler.

It was kinda shocking to me how much George outclassed JB in our preseason matchup. I don't the gap is as big as it looked that night, but yeah, safe to say, PG is just better right now.

Is the plan still to start Jo & Pau together?

RoseTheFuture22 · Post #17 » by **RoseTheFuture22** » Sun Nov 15, 2015 6:04 pm

Interested to see who Hoiberg will go with when they go small.

and please no Pau & Noah...like at all

Many people probably when the Pacers took the Heat to 7 games in the ECF

Pacers have been playing well, so the bulls will have to bring it tomorrow in order to get the win. The question is always will they bring it though? I guess we'll see.
