I think 3-4 is the most likely record:
Wed 31 at LA Clippers 10:30 PM Fri 2 at Seattle 10:30 PM Sat 3 at Portland 10:00 PM Mon 5 at Utah 9:00 PM Thu 8 at Sacramento 10:30 PM Fri 9 at Golden State 10:30 PM Sun 11 at Phoenix 8:00 PM - I think the Bulls lose at Utah and Phoenix. The rest of the games are winnable, but remember, the Bulls have been bad on the road this season. They could run into a buzzsaw in GS, lulled to sleep in Portland, the LAC have lots of size (Kaman and Brand) and the Bulls may have no Wallace, so while a lot of those games are winnable, they just need to not let things snowball like the 1st trip. |

The good news is that there are a bunch of games on there that the Bulls can win.
The bad news is that there are a bunch of games the Bulls can lose. I'm not predicting anything though until I know Wallace's MRI results. |

im getting myself in shape for the road trip. Since im on the east coast, its an hour later for me, so one of the games starts at 9:30, therefore when i come home from skool at 4, im sleeping til 7, then staying up til about 1ish, so i can be ready for wendsday.

Im still not sure on Big Bens status but these all should be winniable games. I think we beat Utah and lose against the Suns.

Wallace was helped off the floor with just over 5 minutes left in Saturday's 100-97 victory after Haslem's head hit his knee. Wallace, who had 15 rebounds, is listed as day to day. The Bulls start a seven-game trip Wednesday, when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers. "We're very happy that Ben's injury doesn't appear to be serious," trainer Fred Tedeschi said in a statement. "We hope to know more, in regard to his return to the court, in the next couple of days." Wallace is averaging 6.5 points and 10.1 rebounds in his first season with the Bulls.

They probably should go 5-2 or 4-3, but they've been bad on the road. 6-13 is awful for a contender, though a lot of that is the infamous circus trip. They should definitely beat Portland and Seattle, especially since the latter is still without Rashard Lewis. Sacramento is also highly winnable, given the bad shooting team versus good defensive team dynamic. After that who knows. Phoenix and Utah will be tough, and the Clippers and Warriors can cause some issues as well.

The realist in me says 5-2 with wins against the Clippers, Seattle, Portland, Golden State & Sacremento. However, I got a feeling we end up losing one of those games while beating one of Utah/Phoenix (and I think we take the Suns down). I got a good feeling about this. Too bad I will not be able to attend the Clips game this year. Had to give my uncle back his works tickets that are like 5 rows from the Bulls bench due to being out of town for business. It will be a great test for this Bulls squad and hopefully they will get Wallace back at some point during the trip. |

We are going to be fine and probably play better as Ben Wallace takes a breather for a couple games/weeks.
The lineup of P.J./Nocioni/Deng/Gordon/Hinrich will dominate. Also, we'll play uptempo with Sef & TNT getting increased minutes. Look for the Bulls offense to be cruising in most of the games. Hopefully Pheonix doesn't lose a game until we face them. The Bulls will be looking for revenge on Barbosa and the Suns. We've beaten the big 2 of the big 3 teams (San Antonio, Dallas) this year. We're going to make it all 3. The Bulls have played well against the best teams in the league. Most of the Bulls loses against prime time competition have been close games in which the Bulls could have pulled it out. (Kings 89-88, Houston 101-100, Nuggets 113-109, Suns 97-96, Nets 86-91, Nets 86-83) The 2 games Wallace missed this year we won decisively against the Spurs (96-87) & Memphis (111-66). It would be nice to have Wallace but I think we'll manage just fine without him. |

This is the make or break for this season. After this we really start to see our destiny as a top seed in the East, or a middle seed in the East.
