    Should be an easy W. If we really are a title contender, we bury these types of teams at home.

    cant sleep on the bulls they have been playing somewhat well lately even with some of the injuries they had and now those players are all back. they just went off on denver though. i just hope after the trade they will have a hard time adjusting with the new guys....the rockets need to bring their defense big time and pound it inside with yao.

    Even Bulls scored more than 130 points last night, we still beat them.

    Ben Gordon was on fire. We need somebody to shut him down!

    Hoping for a thorough thumping...can't take the Bulls lightly though.

    103-91 Rockets.

    I still say the Rockets win this one. Didn't the Hornets shut down the Mavs? What did the Rockets do to the Hornets? I doubt the Bulls get over 100 against us.

    A must win.

    Noah and TT combined 32 pts and 21 rbs yesterday. Our rookies have to step up and help Yao on both ends. Gordon was on fire but he took many ill advised shots.

    I have feeling that this game will be tight throughout the game but in the end we will prevail!!!

    110-98 Rox


    5 out of 11 game winning streak, we have scored over 100pts

    Denver never rotates well nor do they close out on passes well which is part of the reason the Bulls shot 57% and had 34 assists. The assists leading to easy baskets is something we have stopped of late.

    I'm interested to see how Noah/Tyrus play Yao. I'm not too sure either ever has. Both are very active and physical. I'm thinking Yao will give a "welcome to the NBA performance," but you never know.

    We need to keep them off the glass. They had 16 offensive rebounds, most from Noah, Aaron, and Tyrus. Scola and Landry will have their work cut out for them because all three of the Bulls big men are bigger than them and Noah and Tyrus are supposed to be energy players.

    I'm really hoping that Gooden will eat some of their some time, causing them to be less effective, and that Hughes decides to dominate the ball and shoots like 20% on 25 shots.

    I love that 'we' have been dictating the style of play and not the other way around. =)

    Luis and andres can share a good dinner at the cheesecake factory tonight, but tomorrow I expect luifa to show no mercy. Rockets 97 Bulls 75.
