Game Thread: Nets @ Bulls 1pm 04-04 : Win Streak.

[cool007]

Okay, let's put the last 2 game away - out of our mind for good. They were close games and we had a chance to win - and atleast we are playing better on the road, now we just need to find a way to win these close games on the road.

Anyway, let's start a new win streak and possibly just win out the remainder regulare season games.

Game # 77:

New Jersey Nets

@

Chicago Bulls

WHEN: Saturday, April 4th at 1pm

TV: WGN-TV.


NJ Nets Starters:


PG: Devin Harris

SG: Vince Carter

SF: Trenton Hassell

PF: Ryan Anderson

C: Brook Lopez

Head Coach: Lawrence Frank

Chicago Bulls Lineup:


PG: Derrick Rose

SG: Ben Gordon

SF: John Salmons

PF: Tyrus Thomas

C: Joker Noah

Head Coach: Vinny Clueless

Rose better keep Harris at bay or we can find ourselves in the 9th seed.


This game has two of the leagues youngest and worst coaches (hey Frank, Vinnie is a rookie head coach so whats your excuse?)

 

[Dpauley23]

Lawrence Frank always seem to be one of best at drawing up schemes versus us. Isn't Harris still out though?

 

[sdeezy]

I'm concerned about the Harris-Rose match-up. Harris just took us completely apart the last game..and he was hot from the perimeter too. We have 3 days off so hopefully the team can get a spirited practice session in and refocus defensively for this game. We cant afford any more slip ups..hopefully, the Celtics and Dwyane Wade give us some help by beating the Bobcats

Game isn't until Saturday, wow, what a long layoff.

It's my last game of the season too, and I'm not sure if we can go because we're supposed to go check out some school for my three year old. Urgh.

 

[Dpauley23]

Does the early game throw you off?

Doug let me know I can go. B)

By the way, I have a winning streak going everytime I been to Bulls game so who knows my good luck works again?

This 3-day off is really good for banged up Bulls. If we had Salmons, we probably win this Indy game. Rose seems hurt as well and Hinrich got banged up this game as well.

We need these 3 days to regroup, get heathly and finish strong.

why is it your last game? your a full season ticket holder or partial? Hows the playoff tickets work?



Oh and yes Devin Harris is back.

 

[collisrost]

I hate playing the nets. They always seem to win even when their talent level would indicate that they should lose to our Bulls.

 

[Ralphb07]

What's good about this layoff is the Bobcats play tonight and Friday so when we play Saturday we both will have played the same exact games so we'll know exactly what the situation is. They play Boston and Miami. So we'll either be out of the 8th seed Saturday, 1 game or 2 games up. I'm hoping they lose both

I was a full season ticket holder until this year, with my kids getting older, we can no longer go out three times a week to Bulls games, they have too much going on, and my parents and my wife's parents are both in declining health, so it's a big burden to find babysitters now.

This year I about 1/3rd of the games. I have two season ticket holder partners who each take a quarter of the tickets, and then I sold off about 5-6 of the 22 games I had individually.

I will go to the playoff games most likely though, so this is my last regular season game.

 

[CrouchinPaxson]

Well Doug, the Knicks & Bulls game will be my last game for the regular season.


Do you how much playoff tickets will be?

 

[dougthonus]

They should be $5 more than regular season tickets if the past few years are any indication.

Actually, we are 2-1 against Nets this year and we had a chance winning the other one as well until Harris figured it out in the pick and roll - as our Pick and roll defense is THE WORST in the nba and Vinny has no clue on how to teach these guys to defend that.

Remember we were switching all the time back then. We don't switch as much now so it might help but we still suck on D.

Our best chance is to outscore them - but hopefully these guys heal first.

 

[dougthonus]

I think we will beat the Nets.

This is a different team than the Kidd, Carter, Jefferson trio which gave us fits with their backcourt size. Also, the Bulls will be well rested and playing at home where we've been lights out.

I think people get too down about road losses. This team has been great at home.

 

[Dpauley23]

Ya this is why we will make the playoffs, be a .500 team and make the 7th or 6th seed

I agree. I pretty much expected the losses to Toronto and Indiana. I mean, we lost @Indy when Danny Granger wasn't playing. It shouldn't have been too shocking to lose to them w/Granger. But I can understand frustration from the way we lost.

I would say 3 out of 4 minimum from this homestand.

 

[vhans5219]

Bulls should win this game

 

[Ralphb07]

Bobcats loss tonight and so did the Pistons. Hopefully Miami can beat the Bobcats on Friday and we can go into Saturday with a 2 game lead

 

[cool007]

We just need to take care of our business - especially at home and we need to control our own destiny by winning these coming games.

If we do that we will not only make the playoffs but might be at the 7th seed very likely.
