7-15 on the road with Jennings out? We should win this one; however, we need to shoot a lot better than we have been as of late!
We SHOULD win this game. It's nice to have Boozer back. Right now, I'm counting the days 'till Noah returns. Originally the franchise said 8-10 weeks, which would mean February 10th - 24th, though KC put the date in passing around mid-March. Six weeks would be this Thursday, January 27 if there is an early return. There hasn't been an update lately. I can't wait to get the whole team back semi-healthy, and hope they will show enough fire to force management to make a move for a real shooting guard.
When I saw Noah on the bench last game, he still had a cast on his arm/wrist. I would expect it to take a week or two after he gets that off before he plays.
Boozer took four weeks after his pins and cast were removed to play a game. His cast and pins were removed on November 2 and he played his first game on December 1. That would put Noah's return around February 22. The Bulls actually have a pretty sparse schedule over the next month. I hope Noah can make it back before the Hornets game on Feb 12 and the Spurs game on Feb 17. But there's absolutely no reason to rush him back.
yeah, I'm good with Feb 25th as a return time. I can't believe the Bulls are doing as well as they are. Thank you Thibs, Derrick, Gar and Carlos!
