How do you guys think the Bulls will do tonight? The Kings have started to step up their play, rattling off three wins in their last four outings. So, to top off the fact that they have something going while we have nothing, they're also at home. And quite frankly, the fact that they are 140-26 is downright not a good sign for Chicago tonight. The Kings are very tough at home, as shown by that gaudy record oft theirs over the last five years. But, nonetheless, I think the Bulls have a shot tonight. They had something going in the Clips game the other night prior to falling apart. Tyson and Eddy each looked good, and Deng continued his good play off the bench. Now, if they can play some good defense and get all the players going, meaning Nocioni, Gordon, those guys, don't sleepwalk through this game, they've got a legit shot at winning. However, at this point in time, I'm not going to make any predictions, cause everytime I think one of my teams is going to win, they end up screwing up and losing, so for now, no prediction from me. What about everyone else here? What do you guys think will go down tonight in Sac-town.
the bulls will get molested by the kings. OT: i cant wait for the jazz game later this road trip...i predict the jazz to win by the score of 130-80.
Molested huh? I highly doubt it. The Kings aren't that great. Sure, they're playing well right now, but, you seem to forget this team lost its first three and was in the same boat as Chicago at one point in time. The Kings rely too much on outside shooting. Peja jacks up a lot treys (14/46 for a dismal .306 on the season) and has not shot particularly well yet (43/110 for a .391). Webber has been playing descent, but he still shoots a poor percentage for a big man due to the fact he shoots way too many jump shots. Bibby has been playing very well, averaging 17 ppg while shooting .452 to start the season off, he's also connected on 10/23 treys, which is good efficiency in that category. Miller however, has been the best player on that team to start the season. Averaging 17.6 ppg while shooting .568 from the floor. If the Bulls are going to win, they need to stop him. Don't worry too much about Peja unless he gets hot early on. CWebb will just play defense against himself, shooting 18 foot jump shots instead of powering it inside on Tyson and Eddy. Should probably watch out for Bibby, as he's shooting a respectable percentage and is playing well right now. But, if the Bulls are too win, shut down Miller early. He's been the staple to that team this year and is playing great.
Quite frankley I think the Bulls have a great opportunity to win tonight. These are the type of games the bulls win. Good Teams look over the bulls alot and the bull squeeze out a win. Especially with the moral problems the kings are having. That team will be diassambled either in the middle of this year or next year. I predict bulls win by 8 or get blown out of sacramento.
i dont have Comcast Sportsnet because i have stupid Dish Network. But anyway... i think the Bulls will do alright, if they keep good defense and dont rush their shots i think they should be good. Also i hope if they lead, they dont loose the lead like the last game.

Depends. If Sacramento is playing average or good, they'll win by 10-20. If they start playing streaky again, Bulls might have a chance to win. START DENG

down by 27b to the nets, come back but lose at the end. up by 24 to the clippers, lose the lead and the game. its been like this a lot. you dont know what to expect when they are up big or down big. at the end, they end up losing, even if its close, the bulls will find a way to lose.

bulls played a great first half, very close........but this is where the dreaded second half comes. if the bulls play well in the first half, they assume the other team wont score any points in the second half and think the game is over by halftime. bulls only play one good half. so far 3rd quarter, they are losing and scored only 4 points...outsocred 13-4 and have thier largest deficit in the game so far.
i say the bulls should go for the 72 and 10 record .............wait i meant 10 and 72. from greatness to glopp. this sh** is depressing.

You never want to take such a young player out of his comfort zone. He's playing well, where he's at is fine for now. Anyways, it was a great first half. Not much good to say about the second. It looked like we just decided to let Bibby do whatever he wanted with us.
Well...at least they made it close. I'll give em that much. After a third quarter breakdown, exploded in the fourth. Ended up only losing by 7. Damn though, these guys need to learn to play some defense. If they could have played at least some there in that third, I think they could have came away with their first win.
