It's Yao's turn now to come to the United Center to face our refurbished Bulls. The Bulls have been virtually unbeatable at home lately, and I think that will continue tonight, as the Rockets just lost to the Jazz a couple nights ago, and the Jazz aren't very good. The home crowd will get the boyz pumped, and Gordon and Hinrich and the gang will have an outstanding night.

 

Prediction: The Bulls will win though giving up 15+ turnovers.

Isn't that the only way they win?

 

Quite possibly the earliest game thread of the season thus far, usually they're made during or right before the game. It's good to get things done early.

nah back when the bandwagon fans were at a force when bulls first started winning these threads came up a day in advance... than it cooled down some even though we been solid ever since...

Let's make it 6 games above .500!

I am really looking forward to see what they can do against the Rockets. Lets see how far they have come.

Well Sura wont be playing tonight,so thats good news! He played great in the game in Houston,and I thought see was the diff!

Hope the Bulls can shut down YM and Steve Francis unlike last time. that game was ugly

I think that if Chandler can contain Yao in the paint, we should be able to ice this one with several minutes left.

Gonna be a tough game. Yao gives Curry fits down in the block and Tmac can run amock, although I think Noc will get him a little frustrated.

 

Still, I love watching the Bulls play other good teams because they typically play well against them, although for whatever reason they do better against the top teams in the west then the ones in the east or at least it seems that way.

Streve Francis plays for the Orlando Magic. Your thinking of Tracy McGrady.

Noc will frustrate anyone...the guy's a madman of good sorts!!! LOL!

 

Has anyone noticed that they have been playing to the level of their competition quite often lately? They'll "gear up" for the big games and then not play as smoothly in games against lesser opponents such as Charlotte...At least they're getting the wins, I guess...

Tonight's Prediction: Me-Mac continues to hog the ball, and put up 35+ on about 30-40% shooting, while Yao will whisper profanities in Chinese, while Van Gundy goes for the not so subtle route.

Go Bulls!

f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f***

 

Deng down.

 

s*** s*** s***

 

PLEASE BE OK!

Crap, Deng's down!!! Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be the basketball Gods getting back at us for Shaq's injury induced by Othella Harrington.

2 on MeMac, work him and get him on the bench.

Deng out for the game, right cankle sprain.

Deng update: It's an ankle sprain, which he's icing right now. He will not return to the game tonight.

Deng It!

 

(sorry had to do it )

Bulls looking very sluggish early.

Argh, not a good start.

16-8 Houston so far...Not looking very positive right now.

 

Only positives that I can think of: Yao and T-Mac both have already incurred 2 fouls a piece. Let's see if we can get them both out of the game early...

Me-Mac driving to the hole and not pulling up for soft jumpers. Un-f***in-believable.

Pike on TMac?

I just s*** my pants, holy s***.

That might be one of the most bizarre matchups ever.
