Adversity. We are sitting right in the middle of it.

We are on a 3 game losing streak, 2nd night of a back to back, on the road, the Bulls probably want revenge after losing to us last week.

Cam the Bobcats overcome all of this and get a win tonight?

i don't know about you guys, but i'd go with skidmarks.

When I'll wake up tomorrow, I hope to see a Cats win ^^ but I don't really expect that, it will be tough. Maybe the fact that Boozer will not play can help our Bobcats, so maybe another Boris great game ^^. Let's go Cat's!

No Boozer and Noah certainly will help.

I think the key match up might actually be Kwame vs. Kurt Thomas. Last game we got Kurt in foul trouble early and capitalized with a big lead, but when he came back it seemed to change the game flow considerably. We'll see.

Need to trap and harass Rose like we did last game as well. That was huge. Do not want to just see him running rampant in the lanes getting layups and free throws.

We win a close one.. amazing how we win this when we didnt hit a single 3 pointer... :)

Did not expect to win this one! Great win!

I didn't get a chance to see the game. Did Silas have the Cats trap and press Rose early like he did last week?

'Nother fun game against Chicago! Just battle battle battle and then battle some more. It was a good game all the way (flipping back and forth with Tarheels game), but when GW got hit with the bullshit T, the fire kicked in and the game took a different turn. Like he admitted to Steph after the game, he got pissed and it showed. Add to that the incredulous officiating (Stern's gotta give that fucker Mallory, Malloy whatever a fine for reversing the call with absolutely NO evidence that it deflected of DJ...NONE.....I mean, really, WTF!?!?!?! And then Tyrus block of Korver, off of Korver, out of bounds, but still Bulls ball?!?!?! And no review?!?! And it was like the refs were trying as fast as they could to get the Bulls to inbound so they wouldn't have to look at a review. Geeezus!) that was one of the more emotinally fulfilling games I've experienced probably since the NO game last year that locked up the playoffs.

Needless to say, I was dancing a little jig, yelling profanity at the refs and Derrick Rose after his shot glanced off front rim and the good guys got the win.

Deadshot, I didn't catch all the first half flipping back and forth with the Tarheels game, but yeah, they would give hard doubleteams, and try to either steer him a certain direction or get him to give it up. You look at him getting 33, but I thought it was another great gameplan by Paul and Co. in defending Rose and the Bulls.

Wow great news to start the day ^^

It's like Gerald had a great game, when I read you, it was a big battle, one of these that GW loves!

I'm going to work with a big smile ^^
