This is it guys. I don't think a loss will be overcome. This is our house. Our guys have to come through, each and every one.
We might steal the game. But it will have been stolen. Our only firepower is being exhausted, with nothing in reserve at the end. We're getting outrebounded in the playoffs! Our opponents are shooting a higher percentage than we are. I'm not advocating giving up, but yeesh. We are hanging by a thread. Gandalf and Shadowfax better show up soon, or else. Thibs talks about keeping focused and disciplined, but he is too wound up, and really did cross the line with his comments. Maybe he thinks that they're getting into Lebron's head? I think he's a little bit delusional at this point, because he thinks he has to be for us to win.
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell 3m Deng, Hinrich and Rose all officially out now for all the people still wondering if Derrick would return tonight.
K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop 3m Bulls release new lineup listing Deng as active. But currently don't see him on bench.
Chicago Bulls Rumors @chicagobullsbot 3m Chicago Bulls Luol Deng has now been activated for Game 4. Unknown if he'll play but previously said he'd be okay playing even 5 minutes.
