Deng skipped practice yesterday after banging knees with Granger, but should play. Noah went for X-rays yesterday.

This is going to be a tough matchup for us. I don't remember the last time we beat Portland. They have so much size on their frontline so we are going to have to be great on the glass if we want to win.

the bulls will honor red and norm tonight with a video tribute sometime in the 1st quarter. cant believe its been a year.

LETS GOOOOOOOO

bulls hanging with them into the third quarter... i hope portland likes what they see in kirk.

but man, gotta like hakeem warrick so far. if nothing else, he's consistent enough where we don't have to play taj heavy minutes. upgrade over tyrus as far as i'm concerned.

I really can't believe that the Bulls have out-rebounded Portland so far, though that is dwindling. The Bulls realllly need to close this 3rd quarter strong.

Derrick Rose, are you kidding me?

that being said he's no aldridge.

oh spiff we're gonna choke..

I find it sad seeing him do so well against us.

This game is driving me CRAZY!

Wow, great win. Tonight has been an exciting night in the NBA.

great game... i wish espn would start showing more of the evenly matched games like this one and not lopsided snooze fests like orlando/nola

Wow. Wished I woulda gotten to watch this game. Rose looked like he had himself a game with 33. Noah finally got some heavy minutes as well and put up numbers we are used to seeing.

Are you aware that the Bulls are the top rebounding team in the NBA?
