<div align="center">@ Date: Wednesday, October 19, 6:30 Where: Boston TV: CSN-Chicago</div> <font color=""Red""> Chicago Bulls</font> " target="_blank">http://espn-att.starwave.com/i/nba/profile...yers/3710.jpg"></a> Lineup: Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Michael Sweetney, Tyson Chandler <font color=""SeaGreen""> Boston Celtics </font> Lineup: Delonte West, Ricky Davis, Paul Pierce, Raef LaFrentz, Mark Blount Injuries for Bulls: Tim Thomas: Sprained Right Ankle Break Down For the Bulls: Well like I said before the Minnesota Timberwolves game, although it was an L, was our best game of the preseason. We got an overall effort from everyone on the team several players in double figures, Duhon six points and six assists, and Basden stepping up his game. If you exclude the Minnesota game the game against the Celtics was the best game we played in the preseason we have had two good preseason games in a row. Now what I am looking for out of the Bulls in this game is consistency. Mainly from guys like Chandler on the offensive end, Basden in terms of having two good back to back games, Sweetney as well in consistency if you remove the Wolves game we was averaging 14.3 points a game this preseason to go from that to four points is strange, but should not happen two games in a row. Right now it appears unlikely Tim Thomas will be back he has been suffering from a nagging ankle sprain that occurred early in the preseason and was hurt once again in the last Celtics and Bulls game. Bulls are playing some good basketball right now hopefully they can keep it up they tend to fall behind early however, and struggle to get back in the game they can’t do that if they expect to win this game. Result: I’m liking the Bulls chances in this one I just feel like they are starting to get into regular season form, and are playing some good basketball right now. I’m hoping Chandler will find his offensive game against the Celtics my prediction Bulls 99, Celtics 85.
Thanks for the preview Best Kept. I think the bulls will beat the celts again. Chandler will have a great night. I predict he will have 12 points 11 rebounds. Holcomb is a guy im excited to watch tonight. he is a 6'9 athletic demon. His skills are limited buy he has hustle. Im figuring as the season goes on he will become another good rebounder and defender. Bulls win 89-78 Go BULLS!!!
