Bulls vs Lakers 7pm on ESPN - (Bulls Win! - Rose 29 pts and 9 ast.)

[Grasshopper]

:bulls: <--- I love this symbol Let's go INCREDI-BULLS!!!

Can the Bulls overcome their losing streaks on Friday night on ESPN? We will all watch this game as a good luck charm hope to see them beat the worthless Los Angeles Lakers and see the pathetic personality Kobe Bryant who is selfish.

What I am going to say on this thread as I create it, concerning about the great Defensive team by the LA Lakers, that Rose and Korver plus Deng better work on their jumpers and even 3 point range to break down the defense of the Lakers. I really like the game played against the Cavaliers so I hope they keep it up so everyone is involved to break this losing streak by the Lakers.

It is certain that we have Boozer back on the line up to help out Noah in the pain, by having this 7 foot freak named Pau Gasol, and if Bynum comes back by Friday it will be a tough struggle under the paint but they must work together and love playing together to beat them! Other wise Boozer and Noah are two superstars so there is no excuse of why they can't improve their game because they should. If they could do this and get the win tonight they could be championship material all they need is to beat the Orlando Magic, it is also certain that they been struggling to find a way to beat the Lakers so the good luck charm of us all watching our team and supporting it is the hope we have plus faith. I would certainly love to see Korver hitting those crazy three and even Rose <--- it's his job even through he sucks from 3 point range so he should practice it even more Let's do this lets; go for the win they are capable for it!

Lakers aren't good at Defense...?

Bulls vs Lakers Thoughts Tonight

I'm very eager to see this game, to say the least. If the Bulls win, it will surely open the eyes of many as we haven't fared well against the NBA's top teams, especially in the East. Sure, the Lakers have been struggling mightily this last week or so and almost got shocked by the Clippers, so I feel the Bulls are very capable of pulling this one out. Primarily, LA hasn't been the same team thus far as we saw win its second consecutive ring. They have a MUCH better developed bench but their defense has been problematic for them throughout the season despite the acquisition of Matt Barnes. This is the main reason why I feel the Bulls could pull one out; they give up major production to PGs. Although we are beginning to expect big games from Rose on a nightly basis, I feel tonight may be in the works for a nice duel between him and Kobe, and perhaps, at last, get him mentioned by some "experts" as a serious MVP candidate. For the Bulls to win, it's imperative that Noah to stays out of foul trouble. Let's face it, Booz isn't the best defender and I can't say anything negative about Taj's defense performance this season, but a frontcourt of that against Pau and Odom spells disaster. We could also see JJ get some extended minutes today to go head-to-head with Odom, as we may not have a big quite quick enough to defend Odom's unique game. Another X factor tonight we'll be Brewer/Bogans/Deng's defense on KB. That's a nice three-headed defensive monster to have in our corner, but it's necessary that we slow The Mamba down; he's on National TV and I'm sure he wants to silence some critics about the Lakers play of late. Needless to say, a W for the Bulls could put us in some good company among the leagues' elite.

Damn....I hope this is the night the losing streak against them come to a close.

Kobe on Rose:

"He's got a long-range ball now," Bryant said. "He can pop behind the pick and shoot the jumper. He can pull up off the dribble and shoot it, and him getting to the rim goes unquestioned. He's putting the time in the gym, and I certainly respect that."

They can win this game if everything is clicking. The Bulls can't turn the ball over like they have been recently. They're averaging what, 15 or 16 turnovers a game? That has to stop or it'll take miracles to beat top 5 teams in the NBA.

That said, the roster is a major work in progress. I imagine things will run much more smooth and organized by January. The Bulls could really use a statement win against the Lakers tonight.

WOW! I am impressed of all of you postings on this thread where all positive energy are positive minds! Thank you all for participating for supporting your team as a great fan like all of you here, have several question; answer to type here before I go train at the gym, and will explain it all here one by one so keep up with me.

I love the post of Rush up there about the Bulls confidential of Phil Jackson's very postive thank you for that!

Marky Mark that was good to hear from you where bringing up the thought of Boozer back into the lineup is the same thing I was thinking and I certainly agree with you on that one that it was a close game last time.

Nick I know that they've been slipping apart lately but that is the team's chemistry hope they don't regain control of that to make them choke this year! I like your devensive strategy I think Deng would do just fine on him, but he needs to pick up the pace a bit to stick to Kobe's level he could do it he needs to prove that he is another superstar in the roster!

TheChicagoWay YES I agree with your opinion they need to play this game in a higher level from all the other team because this is one of the team they need to beat to proceed foward

My thoughts would be concerning they had a good win at Cleveland resting it out the next day that they will be more prepared on what to expect, and they already know that they need to find the way to beat this team to beat. I have my confident set on Thib's job to handle this situation to a win so I will say and predict that this is a definitely a win for our young Bulls!

I mean, I'm really starting to gather a good bit of confidence in this years team more than I have in the past years. The last 2yrs of 41-41 is ok......but this franchise doesn't live for .500 Records & Division banners. We live for high octane basketball, titles & pride.

Believing that they can beat this Lakers team at home is definitely something I can see happening. I wont guarantee anything, but I already am going into this game thinking positive. The way they have played in general this season gives me that confidence.

Go :bulls:!

Very true, also to be 12-8 with one of the toughest schedules in the league is pretty solid. As we move into the mediocre part of the schedule, it would be great to have a big win over the Lake Show.

ill go ahead & say it for you rush the soft part of our hard schedule boozer should start to come into his own & be the beast he should in about3-5 games including this one tonight because we play alot of teams who should be beaten....but of course we cant hang our hats intil the job is done like we tried to do in cleveland

Gonna be an awesome game. Goin to B-dubs again tonight .

 

[marky mark]

While Gasol somehow managed to score 12 last meeting, Noah Shut him down, the chances of Shannon brown repeating what he did, is next to impossible. If Noah can continue to take Gasol out of the picture, and Brown comes into reality this game(LIKE HE SHOULD!!!!) the bulls take away a 21 point brown and a 12 point 11 rebound Gasol, they combined for +18, an fantastic number, that should not be repeated. Gasols rebounds should go down further now that Boozer, a more offensive based Forward is in, with him being in, Gasol will have to cover the paint against two powerhouse players. Bulls will consistently have 2 huge threats in the paint(boozer, Noah/Gibson Noah/Maybe even Gibson Boozer) and as if rocking the paint the way we will isnt good enough, Bryant is right, Rose developed an outside shot, Deng is on top of it, and i think the complaints wont go unanswered and Brewer will see a lot of playing time.

Final Score Prediction:

Chicago - 99
L.A. Lakers - 105
