Vs. Thursday, December 4, 2003, 7:00 PM EST. Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA. <font color="Red">Chicago Bulls Probable Starting Five.</font> Jamal Crawford, Kendall Gill, Eddie Robinson, Corie Blount, Eddy Curry <font color="Red">Chicago Bulls Key Bench players.</font> Antonio Davis, Kirk Hinrich, Jerome Williams, Marcus Fizer, Scottie Pippen. <font color="Black">Philidelpia 76ers Probable Starting Five.</font> Eric Snow, Allen Iverson, Aaron Mckie, Kenny Thomas, Marc Jackson. <font color="Black">Philidelpia 76ers Key Bench Players</font> John Salmons, Samuel Dalembert, Amal Mccaskill, Greg Buckner. <font color="DarkRed">Key Matchup</font> Allen Iverson vs Default. Iverson has the ability to dominate games. I would strongly suggest not to let him do this. Even to sacrafice offense, if you have to, to at least contain him. <font color="Red">Chicago Bulls Keys to the Game.</font> The Bulls will need to do the little things to win this game. One huge key to this game in my eyes is rebounding. Last game which they beat the Bucks, they out rebounded them by at least ten rebounds. With a tougher competition, the Bulls certainly need to step it up. Curry needs to hustle for rebounds and to block out every time down the court. Another key that I am going to watch for is, who will gaurd Iverson. Will is be Crawford? Pippen? Gill? I am waiting to see. Whoever it is is going to have a tought time, and I am hoping that person will do well. The last key (not like there arent any more) is hustle. I loved what I saw hustle wise last game and hope it continues. I am thinking that the Davs and Williams trade might bring some of that to the table. <font color="Black">Philidelpia 76ers Keys to the Game.</font> Somone needs to score besides Iverson. With Glenn Robinson out, there isn't much left, scoring wise. Jackson and Thomas are the only others in double digits scoring ave(Snow is close). Another thing would be defensive rebounding. They cannot give up any more offensive rebound, second chance shots. They need a big rebounder to step up tonight. Prediction: Bulls by 4.( I know I am being biased)
the bulls were up big they have let the 76ers back in the game...the score is now 56-53...the bulls dont know how to close games
Yeah. Its not looking good even with the lead. We need to stop getting so many turnovers, and shoot good shots only.

Why'd the Bulls lose? I don't know, but Kirk Hinrich's complexion looks noticeably darker today than yesterday.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post"> Remember my PM? Things like this won't help, even if you tried to make it look light with a smiley.</div> Man, I'm saying that as in "a game worth watching, East is a weak conference, should be a good one". I'm gonna be me, rather if it causes an arguement or not, I wasn't aiming that to make anyone mad, it was the truth. About the game, I thought you guys had it locked. But that just shows how good a player Allen Iverson is. You guys played solid defense, and he still made some tough shots. The picture in Chicago is definetley looking better though, Skiles will pick up some wins this season. Bulls excited me last night, I have NBA ticket, and don't really pay attention to a lot of teams besides the players I want to see, but I will start to watch some Bulls basketball, young fun team with a good coach.
Reason Why Bulls Lost! Man Was I Ticked From The Loss. Bulls Should Have Won Easily!!! Cory Blunt, A Veteran, Didnt Box Out For Rebounds Nor Did He Jump Or Get His Hands In The Air, When He Ran After The Defender, He Didnt Jump And Put His Hands In His Face, He Didnt Go For The Loose Balls!!!...that Pathetic Moron! He Lost It! A Veteran, I Dont Know What He Was Thinking...

I DO however remember the nice tip in, in the 4th quarter which brought them very close. But you might be right, I dont know. But the only reason Blount is in there is to play defense and he did do that.
The Bulls Should Have Won, But Linton Johnson, Even Though He Messed Up On 2 Straight Inbound Plays, He Is A Rookie And Hasnt Been In This Position In The Nba Before, Undrafter Rookie Also...plus, The Bulls Had A Lot Of Guys Injured, Pippen Probably Would Have Made The Inbounds Pass If He Was Healthy, A Veteran Who Knows What Hes Doing...or Get Pete Myers In There!(remeber That Pass To Kukoc Against The Knicks To Win It?) But Linton Johnson Made A Lot Of Great Plays Defensively, He Could Jump And Could Get Offenisve And Def. Rebounds. He Also Had 3 Blocks And One On A Fast Break Blocking Snows Layup...he Did Good...hopefully This Tough Loss Wont Effect The Next Game Mentally...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">I wish everyone had the Heart and will to win as Allen Iverson does.</div> Agreed.
