They also need a big game out of Chandler and Curry. Chandler is nearly averaging a double double this season, and is averaging one in December we need a big game out of him. Curry we have found out what he has shown what he is good for and that is scoring he is a horrible rebounder for a man his size, and the position he plays Steve Francis a point guard averages more rebounds then him. We just need him to have a good offensive night, and hopefully put up some nice numbers on the board. The Bulls also need to have all there players on the same page cut down on turnovers with Duhon running the point we need all players to get where they belong on plays and catch there passes, and protect the ball. We also need to have Hinrich handle the ball more than Duhon this game I think a reason the lineup has not changed yet to put Duhon back on the bench is because where winning. If we lose this game I wouldnt be surprised to see Gordon back in the starting lineup. Leo's Prediction Tough game from beginning to end. The Bulls will play well, and have a chance to pull off a upset in the end, but we are all in for a heart breaking lose I think as the Bulls fall apart in the end like they did the game against the Wiz and we lose 96-90.
