Chicago Bulls Game Preview: This is going to be a tough game for the Chicago Bulls after a exhilarating win against the Dallas Mavericks four nights ago. The Chicago Bulls had a 10 point lead entering the second half and the lead disappeared due to erratic play. The Bulls did not mesh offensively for a period and Rose pulled off one versus five as he did previously against the Houston Rockets. Luol Deng & Taj Gibson MUST STEP UP or this is going to be a long day for the Chicago Bulls and they MUST PLAY WITHIN THE SYSTEM. I do not want to see Taj shooting lame jumpers when on the P&R he could be cutting to the basket. Deng, please stop going ISO and play WITHIN the SYSTEM. Deng must also make WIDE OPEN THREE POINTERS, it was pain watching him miss horribly on three pointers two nights ago. Taj Gibson played great and hit his first 3 pointer of his basketball career, which is very interesting. He always attempts it in practice but never before in a professional game. Taj, thank you for practicing your three-point shots this year and we are glad you improved. Tom Thibodeau, what the hell were you thinking last night with your rotations? Deng is still playing 40+ minutes and he is averaging about 38minutes, stop burning him out. We want to see James Johnson on the court with his play-making abilities. Derrick Rose, not your fault for the assists, because his teammates need to convert WIDE OPEN opportunities. Rose easily would have gotten 10 assists last night if the latter was true. Rose flop a bit bud because that's the only way you are going to get to the free throw line because the Refs are blind on you. Scream like a high pitched girl like Brandon Roy does when he goes to the hoop and get the calls. Joakim Noah, PLAY WITH YOUR HEART, not with you [expletive]. Where have you been? Stop thinking about puff-puff and leave it all on the court. You need to be more aggressive and play better defense. Good job on getting 10 points and 17 rebounds, good effort. That is all, hopefully we will have a Bulls win.

Deng played 42 minutes and he is averaging about 38minutes, stop burning him out. Scalabrine in over Brewer or James Johnson or even Kurt Thomas? Terrible adjustments at the end and JJ should have gotten to see the court instead of benching him. Scalabrine should never ever see the court again. Derrick Rose, not your fault for the assists, because his teammates need to convert WIDE OPEN opportunities. Rose easily would have gotten 10 assists last night if the latter was true. Rose flop a bit bud because that's the only way you are going to get to the free throw line because the Refs are blind on you.

This will be the first time we will get to see Tim Duncan and his team this year. We started off the season against them last year at the United Center and Derrick Rose blocked Richard Jefferson. The Bulls beat the Spurs by 10+ last year with a weaker team who had many injuries. Luol Deng, Derrick Rose, and many others were still injured and slowly recovering. Last year's bench was horrid compared to this years. Joakim Noah will have to be motivated tonight against Timmy, which he did not seem against Brad Miller. He looked a little high and he didn't play with any passion against Brad Miller, which was disappointing where we could have crushed the Rockets if he did. Rose will be going against an old Tony Parker, where Rose should dominate and take advantage of that. He should not be passive unless the shot is not there or else he should just attack the lane and as a result rack up assists by open shots because of his penetration. We must contain Manu Ginobili today and that is a key to victory. If the Chicago Bulls execute Tom Thibodeau's defense mastermind strategies then they will have no problems with containing Manu. They played great team defense and man defense against Kevin Martin and he played horrible last night against Ronnie Brewer, who used his athleticism and length against him. Yesterday, Ronnie Brewer was the first half MVP and he played great and is looking healthy finally and if he is healthy he will be a great starter. Luol Deng must play within the system unlike last night where he tries to be what he is not; an iso-scorer. He needs to let the offense come to him and not try too hard to do everything, because that's when he plays the worst and he has his hands full tonight against Richard Jefferson who is playing well. Let's go Bulls and I'm predicting a grimy win.

Brewer played excellent defense against Martin and the Bulls have the best defensive coach in the league in Thibodeau. The Bulls also had very questionable calls especially on Rose that should have been called and in those replays showed that he did not get it off. 33% now.

Yeah, sorry I went to fast in creating the thread. Chicago Bulls Preview: This is a must win game for our Chicago Bulls because the Circus Trip is only going to get harder and we must defeat a Rockets team without Yao Ming or Aaron Brooks. This will be the first time we will get to see the return of Brad Miller and Joakim Noah should dominate against Brad Miller because he is too slow and lost a lot of steps. Rose should have a field day in the lane as well because Miller is too slow to stop Rose from penetration. Rose will be going against an inexperienced point guard, where Rose should dominate the whole day and take advantage of that. He should not be passive unless the shot is not there or else he should just attack the lane and as a result rack up assists by open shots because of his penetration. We must contain Kevin Martin tomorrow and that is a key to victory. If the Chicago Bulls execute Tom Thibodeau's defense mastermind strategies then they will have no problems with containing Kevin Martin. I really hope James Johnson, Bogans, and Brewer can play great defense tomorrow because Kyle Korver might be out for the game and possibly the Circus Trip.

Pleasant surprise, because I wasn't expecting Derrick Rose to get it but Deron definitely deserved it.

Yes, that's why we keep it.

Post-Game Notes: The Bulls executed their offense and defense great tonight and I was very happy about that. They took care of business and routed the Warriors, especially from the tip which destroyed their moral to fight. The Bulls came out hungry tonight against a sloppy Golden State Warriors team who really hurt their cause by silly turnovers and fouls. They cannot guard a stiff. I love the impartial officiating of last night's game as well. Rose played good defense tonight and Coach Thibodeau and Noah is rubbing off on Rose's defense, which is exciting news. Rose just needs to gamble a bit more on defense because he has two great defenders behind him in Taj and Joakim Noah. JoNo and LunchPale will make them pay coming to the lane if they don't block the shot of course. Back to their offense, it didn't look selfish and it didn't stick from one spot. There was some very great passes and the team was not selfish. Rose really looked like a superstar point guard tonight running the point. In the second-third quarter, Rose could've went off for 40 but he decided to get his teammates involved, and rack up assists. Tonight, was a great example of teamwork on offense. The Warriors had trouble guarding the slashing and cutting of Luol Deng and others. We need to beat the zone though, which we did with Kyle Korver and C.J. Watson. The Bulls played good defense against Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. Rose should've been accredited with 3 blocks on Curry tonight, but only got credited with 1 which I am dumbfounded by. The team collapsed on Ellis and made it harder for him to score. The Bulls bench had a lapse on defense, but oh well it's the bench for Christ Sakes. Luol Deng has a very aggressive mindset this year and it works sometimes for him. Tonight, his mindset allowed him to play well and I would like to see a tad more consistency out of Luol Deng especially on the Circus Trip. Let's whoop some Wizards tomorrow night @ our Madhouse on Madison!

Has your team played as well/worse as you thought it would be? Bulls: - They're at a "meh" area. They played well and I thought three of those games we played we should have won. Two of those games on the road were decided by the refs. - This is a new team that needs to mesh more and our shooting guard, Brewer is still injured but showed signs of previous play against Boston. I think he should be starting above Bogans for exposure to the court and get some chemistry with the team. - I really liked the effort and offense execution we saw yesterday.

Awesome Bulls colors.

Noah looks bulked up this year which is great against the Howard's and Perkin's in in the league.Taj looked great tonight but had some boneheaded mistakes. I think he will still contribute well off the 2nd unit and will get better when he practices with CBoozTheBull.Luol started off well but ended bad. He had 18 points on 17 shots, he's gotta attack the rim, instead of long jumpers.Rose played awful for 3 quarters, but really stepped it up in the 4th quarter. That's what star players do.Bogans shot well but he needs to shoot more so the defense respects the shot. Brewer is getting better each day he is playing and I really think he should start and Korver off the bunch. I just wish Brewer had a better shot, but oh well.Overall, good game by the Bulls and this is why you keep Noah, A WINNER, over Carmelo.

Bulls don't want Brandon Rush nor Jones because Bogans is better then Jones because Bogans can hit the 3. Brewer is better then Rush as shown by last game where he's slowly recovering. The only person the Bulls have interest in is Granger and Indy wants a kings ransom for him
