Will be a tough game on back to back nights. The key bwill be to hold the Bulls from Rebounding the game from us. Have to control the Boarding of Noah-Boozer and Deng.
If we can't, then it will be a tough night.

Tonight is a good heat check for ET since he'll likely draw Deng on the offensive side of the ball. I wouldn't see a few off ball screens to get Richardson-Deng and ET-Rip. I see getting that matchup when we have the ball as quite favorable to us.

Also expect (the now almost usual) big game from Jrue. Hinrich seems to be that thorn in the side type defender, but hopefully Jrue uses his speed to blow past Kirk a few times.

If Deng covers Turner, then that means Hamilton will have to cover Thad. And that would be a HUGE advantage for us. So because of that, I suspect you will see alot of Deng at the SG spot tonight, and Taj Gibson playing SF to cover Thad. I think we will have a decided edge on Bench play. If the Bulls use Gibson alot tonight to cover Thad, and Deng to cover Turner, then they will have nobody to cover Wright when he is in, and he presents a tough Height match-up for the Bulls bench players.

If Deng covers Turner, then that means Hamilton will have to cover Thad.

Rip would be on J-Rich I think. Rip would never cover Thad

Rip would be on J-Rich I think. Rip would never cover Thad

That's fine. Then that means Boozer will have to cover Thad, or Noah, and neither are close to Thad Athletically.

Chicago taking two of three? Try four of nine.

7 pint underdogs tonight. seems kinda high to me. If we can contain them on the glass i think we can win this game

[sixer04fan]

Yeah I was surprised by the spread. Really high

[sixer04fan]

Nick Young is out with a toe injury apparently

I'm nervous about this one guys, I'm not sure if we are going to play well tonight. I hope so, but I'm nervous.
