Chris Paul Darren Collison
SG Marcus Thornton Morris Peterson
SF Peja Stojakovic James Posey
PF David West Darius Songaila
C Emeka Okafor Sean Marks


OS STARTER BACKUP
PG Derrick Rose Jannero Pargo
SG Kirk Hinrich salmons/ pargo? / brown
SF Luol Deng John Salmons/johnson/brown
PF Taj Gibson Tyrus Thomas/deng/noah
C Joakim Noah Brad Miller/tyrus

I feel good about going into new orleans. If noah, taj feel better, and if tyrus and miller bring something to the table, our big guys would be a pretty match up against new orleans. Okafor struggles( ? i'm not watching no this year. ) to get into the office. West is having an off year, and if our guys are healthy we might be able to do well against them.

Paul might be a better pg than rose, but his supporting cast is absolutely awful, so rose and paul will both be asked to score a lot! Rose has the quicks and athleticism to play paul on both ends. He's been okayish on defense this year. As long as we dont foul him a lot, rose might be able to get the better end of the deal given that our interior defense is pretty alright this year.

I think if we win the match up on the wings, we should be able to win this game. if hinrich, deng, salmons, and brown(?) have a good game, we should be able to get this win.

last time we played, we we were getting killed by brown, so as long as peja doesnt get hot, i think we have a really good chance.

I feel great going into this game. Rose should build on his new status as an all star and drop 30 points, which would probably push his average over 20ppg. If Hinrich can shoot higher than 15% we should beat NO, we match up well with them.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a let down by the Bulls, they have been playing at a really high energy level the past 4 games. They do get a day to rest though so hopefully they avoid a let down.

this team is much better when the push it, and dont play a half court game. Rose dribbling up court and passing to salmons or gordon worked last year, but we have to rely on our youth energy and athleticism this year. but yeah, i dont how long we can sustain that sort of play.

however im afraid rose may run out of gas soon. he cant carry this team all season
