Hopefully the Bulls will play more defense and with more energy to get a win. I don't want to see a losing streak with a from me expected loss against the Celtics tomorrow. So...Go Bulls! Get us fans the win!
This is a "show me" game for the Bulls. If they don't come out from the opening tip with energy and purpose, I'm gonna get ticked off. I don't expect to get ticked off. Obviously, lots of eyes will be on the "Boozer Sulk Watch." I expect Boozer to go back to beasting. Now for the bad news...I'm very frequently wrong.
We clobbered them at home just a few days ago. Thomas gave Brand fits. We need to play with purpose or else we could lose this one.
