if the Bulls can play tough defense they have a chance, have to keep Boston from getting the open J.

This is a huge game for the Bulls. If they can pull out a win it just might give some legit hope to this season. Gooden and Hughes have been good pickups and we need them to step up again. They can't lose to Washington because they are clearly a more talented team right now that just might come together for a run. Go Bulls!

are they playing for sure?

Houston is on fire and Bulls just came off arguably the best played game all season. Can the Bulls back up that performance?

did i see some energy out there to start the game off?

This one is gonna be painful, but good things are on the way.

i agree sir.

ummm, not sure what to say about this post. i hope you dont really think some old man that hasnt played all year is the answer for the bulls. maybe i am wrong, but isnt PJ a PF anyways. gray is a rookie who has not had all that much time to play. the bulls are much better off letting him and noah play out the rest of the year. if neither one shows that they can be a starting center, then at least we will know and can fix it in the offseason. if the bulls signed pj for half a season then next year we could be in a very bad position without knowing what gray and noah can really do. if the bulls make the playoffs, fine, but i dont think wasting playing time on PJ Brown is even a competent thought. please explain how he would help this team this year and in the future. the bulls really dont need an old man taking time away from tyrus, noah, gooden or gray. sorry

umm sorry, but that really doesnt make sense. were you drunk when you typed this?

just watch the game tonight, you will see a new energized bulls core out there. this team is ready to go, and i will go out on a limb and say thabo will give the bulls 20 pts, 10 rebs tonight with at least 3 steals. mark it down. i really think i saw something the other night that shows this team is not the same one we have watched for the last few months.

welcome to the new era of chicago bulls basketball. Noah is gonna lead this team for years to come along with kirk. i honestly do not agree with many trade rumors out there because none of the people suggested would help with what the bulls had to give up. tonight maybe showed what the bulls could be minus ben gordon, luol and ben wallace from a trade. the difference would be the stud player we got in return woulda been out there playing instead of griffin. it also made me realize that this team cannot trade noah because he is turning into the player people keep saying the bulls need. not sure if anyone agrees, but tonight was the turning point, this team will come out with energy for the next few weeks and i think gett lou and ben back will only help.

good thread. this guy is going to be a leader on a team someday, i just hope its on the bulls. he is exactly the type of person they need for the long run. time to say goodbye to big ben and let noah and tt step up. if noah or tyrus play 30 minutes a game and cant match the production the bulls get out of ben and add some energy i would be amazed. let the kids play and turn into real players.
