Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Bulls say Noah is doubtful tonight. His knee/ankle must really be hurting if he misses the Heat game. He loves playing this team.
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Taj on facing Deng: "It's even more strange just seeing him play in a Heat jersey. All these years we basically hated seeing that jersey." Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Taj acknowledged that "it's part of the business." A lot of players were expecting to see go out with Deng on Saturday night.
K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop · 17m 17 minutes ago Deng: "It's always going to be strange for me facing the Bulls." K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Deng: "It’s more than a game with those guys. When I see them, it’s friends, it’s family, it’s guys I’ve done a lot with." K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Deng on Butler: "I'm just really proud of him and the way he's playing."
Caleb Nordgren @chisportsguy41 Kirk Hinrich is shooting 32.6% on jumpers from 16-23 feet. He's shooting 40.9% on threes. Can we fine him for every long two he takes? Caleb Nordgren @chisportsguy41 Kirk Hinrich is 6/27 on threes in the first half of games. He is 21/39 on threes in the second half. What the hell?
Sun-Times Basketball @suntimes_hoops Wonder how many times this season Spo has been in the timeout huddle and said, "OK, LeBron, you .... aww damn....''
K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Bulls had season-high 60 points in paint vs. Portland Friday. This Heat front line gives Bulls opportunity to better that.
