<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The Bulls' waning playoff pursuit could use a shot in the arm, not an elbow to the jaw. Second-year guard Chris Duhon suffered a bruised jaw Monday when teammate Ben Gordon inadvertently collided with him during a scrimmage in practice at the Berto Center. metromix.com "I was driving to the basket and he was on the side of me and I kind of hit him in the jaw with my elbow," Gordon said. "Hopefully he is all right. I didn't feel like it was a big hit, but I guess the jaw is a sensitive area." Teammates have become accustomed to seeing Duhon hit the floor and bounce right back up. Monday, he was down for the count. "He was in a lot of pain when he left the building," coach Scott Skiles said. Trainer Fred Tedeschi escorted Duhon to the hospital for X-rays that were negative. He is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the United Center. The Bulls' shot at a playoff berth remains questionable as well. They have fallen 3 1/2 games behind Milwaukee for the eighth playoff spot. Just how important is it to this young group of Bulls players to make a return engagement to the postseason as a low seed in the Eastern Conference? "We are always going to err on the side of talking about it because it is out there for everybody to see anyway," Skiles said. "There is no reason to run from it. We have dug ourselves a hole and it is pretty simple. We have to dig ourselves out or we don't make it. </div><div align="center"> Source</div> Let the conspiracy theories being!
