    I expect the Bulls to have a lot of energy tonight coming off the positive news on Rose.

    Hopefully they have some offense, too. With Rose and Gasol out.

    If the Bulls actually start their 5 best players, the guys off the bench (2nd unit) would be Kirk, DunVP, Taj, and Mirotic. Ouch.

    I don't think we want to see what Brooks has done since Q1 of the Hornets game.

    Brooks is having an awful night tonight (2-15, 6 points, +6). Still a better night than Kirk (0-3, 0 points, -2).
