They have combined for eight fast break points over the last two contests. The Bulls are making things harder than they need to be on themselves. It never hurts to get easy buckets. The Bulls will need to push the tempo, and run the ball down the court, drawing fouls, and getting easy points.[/list] <ul><font color="DarkRed">Team Work</font> in every win we have this season we have had multiple players in double digits. When we win by a big margin it is usually at least five guys with double digit points. What does that tell us? It tells us that when we play as a team and spread the ball around we are a far better team than anyone can imagine. Basketball is a team sport, and we will need a team effort to continue winning tonight.[/list] <ul><font color="DarkRed">Protect the Paint</font> we really don?t have a enforcer down low, like what Antonio Davis was last year, we need guys to come out and show pride on the defensive end of the court. give the hard foul when needed, and protect the paint. That is the missing link in this organization right now. We need someone to start doing the dirty work, and take pride in it. Is Charles Oakley considering coming out of retirement?[/list] <div align="center"></div> <ul><font color="DarkOrange">Rebound</font> if you do not out rebound the Bulls they will probably win. The Bulls are a team without a true big man who goes inside and dominates the boards. Tyson Chandler gets fatigued to quickly, and Michael Sweetney sometimes does not show up. With Okafor down low the Bobcats should control this category.[/list] <ul><font color="DarkOrange">Pound the Ball Inside</font> again the paint is one of the Bulls biggest weaknesses. The Bobcats need to attack that tonight. Enough said.[/list] <div align="center"></div> Like I said before the Bulls/Celtics game I feel the Bulls are on the verge of going on a big win streak much like that which they had last season. Winning several games in a row, and lifting themselves into the playoffs. The Bobcats are a good young team with a lot of heart, but they should not beat the Bulls tonight. Bulls by 7.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting I-Miss-MJ:</div><div class="quote_post">Okafor, Rush, Ely and Voskuhl wont be playing.</div> Should be an easy win then. Key word should be.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">Should be an easy win then. Key word should be.</div> ya, the bocats play hard though, so the bulls shouldn't slack off
and possibly missing Brevin Knight?? They won last night without all those players against Sacramento (granted Okafor and Rush got injured during the game). But missing a few bigs, Brezec will have a long game.
<ul> [*]Bulls forward Luol Deng (right knee contusion) is doubtful for tonight's home game versus the Charlotte Bobcats. [/list] <ul> [*]Deng suffered the injury during the Bulls' game against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. [/list] <ul> [*]"I really don't know if I'm going to be able to [play] or not," Deng said Monday morning. "It didn't feel that great today. We'll see." [/list]
Hey, so I'm home from college and we don't get the Bulls games in Southern Illinois. Now, I come back home to the north suburbs and check my schedule to see what channel to watch and shortly after realize that I don't have WCIU anymore, which is ridiculous. Am I having a cable problem or is this channel only in Chicago now?

So, you should be getting it on antena or cable... Otherwise don't know the problem.
Nearly their whole starting lineup is out and we are still losing right now. Pathetic effort from the Bulls.
We lost by a lot. Bulls didn't put any effort at all, they should have easily won this game, but their defense was horrible. And they fouled way to much when the Bobcats drove into the lane.
story of the season - - Inconsistent. - Foul early esepcially the big men. - Poor free throw shooting. - Send the other team to the line a lot more then we go to the line.
