Hope the Bulls are ready to extract some revenge. Wasn't too happy with the game last night. Go Bulls!
You know what, that was a good win. You're playing on the road on a back-to-back without your starting shooting guard and small forward. Amar'e decides to show up for the first time all season. Carmelo wasn't bad either. Norris Cole has a good game and the Bulls still come away with a victory. I'll take it. Jimmy Butler played solid defense on 'Melo. It was nice to see him getting meaningful minutes. You still have to worry about a player, though, who is supposed to be a shooting guard and needs to hand the ball off when he's guarded in transition.
