Rasheed hyper extended a finger on his non-dominant hand last night against the Pacers. He will be a game time decision.

The Bulls absolutely need to win this game. If they don't win this game, they fall 1.5 games back of the Cavs. The Bulls need to win this game to stay close. Cleveland plays Miami tomorrow night. If the Bulls win and get some help, we could be tied with Cleveland by tomorrow. If the Bulls lose and don't get some help, we'll be solidly in that 5 spot.

A win here will be a real statement for our playoff push. It would help so much to pass Cleveland and we would need to come as close to winning out as possible so this is a huge game.

This is set to be one of the great games of the season so far for Chicago. With Noc set for a comeback attempt Friday a Bulls win here would really help put some pressure on the Cavs.
Tyrus has been playing so great lately that Noc's return will only help to deepen our bench (regardless of who starts) and thats infinitely important to any team looking to make a real run at the Eastern Conference championship. More than likely we'll meet the Pistons in a 7-game series if we make a nice playoff run so this game tonight has got to be solid as we look to exploit their weaknesses. Big Ben has been so important so far this year in our matchups against the Pistons because he not only helps to diffuse some of the bad blood between these teams but he possesses that Pistons insider only info. Hopefully Skiles can use Ben's advice from practicing and playing with these guys for years and draw up a game plan to give us a great chance at taking Rasheed and Co. to school. My X-factor for Detroit is Tayshaun Prince, he had a big game against us last time scoring 26 and his defense, specifically his blocks can change a game. With Sheed listed as a game time decision Chris Webber could pick up the slack so we have to make sure and put a big body on him. Also to box out!!!!! That Prince tip in last week was horrible defense by the Bulls, we can't give up the offensive glass so easy or this ones over before it starts. Time to shine Chi-Town!!!! Go Bulls!!!! |

Gordon starting to play worse at the worst possible time. Were going to need his scoring in the playoffs and he is starting to slow down. Tyrus just played about 2 minutes and gave us 5 points and 3 rebounds, good effort TT get well soon

For a short-handed as hell team I like the effort the Bulls are showing here... special shoutouts so far to TT (insane points to minutes ratio for a sick man), Thabo (rook coming out showing some confidence, at SF, no less) and PJ Brown (providing an offensive threat at least at C, and he's gotten some tough rebounds).
Ben Gordon really needs to get it together--he'll have a big second half. He better, or we're sunk! |

I think were going to need atleast 16 points from Thabo and 10 from someone playing the 4 or 5 spot to win this game. Gordon isn't going to have a 30 point night with his foul trouble.
