An early tip tonight: 7:00 ET. The bobcats have been struggling to get wins, but playing close games of late. They also recently dumped their leading scorer for Boris Diaw and Raja Bell and Sean Singletary. On paper it looks like the kind of matchup that gives the bulls fits without an obvious place to hide BG on defense, but the bobcats played in Atlanta last night so the bulls should have the fresher legs. Can the bulls force the bobcats to settle for jumpers, or will they be able to get dribble penetration and exploit the bulls soft interior? I think the bulls pull out a close one, but Accuscore predicts a bobcats win. And how many times will we be given a Jordan retrospective?
I think the real struggle between this game will be Okafor verse our inside D, if we cut down the Offensive rebounds for him and the rest of the team then we got the game in our hands!
Getting ready to watch the game. Hopefully the Bulls can contain Okafor. If they do that, it should be smooth sailing.
Looks like Felton is content to jack up fadeaway 20 footers. Bulls should be able to handle this team if he keeps doing that.
Bulls held the 'Cats to 16 first quarter points, which is the lowest total they've held an opponent to in the 1st quarter so far this year. Good start, I'd say.
Wow, BG gives up the ball at the end of a quarter? Of course all they got out of it was a wide open 15 footer from TT that he bricked, but still.
I think the announcers are a little too biased...I think that was a foul, looked like he got a part of his arm. Regardless, the Bulls better win this in regulation, because I don't like the thought of OT.
Horrible last possession. Rose should have found an open man (I saw Gooden open and maybe one other) instead of trying to take that one by himself.
Just catching the feed. Derrick's not exactly covering himself in glory tonight. Though the foul call on him to tie the game was pretty iffy looking.
Rose is allowed to have a bad game every now and then like every other up and coming player......at least it's against the Bobcats and not a team like the Celtics who we play fairly soon.
