The key to this game is 100 points. The Bulls are 5-33 when they give up 100 points or more. For anyone thats interested the Bulls have gone 9-16 since the big trade.

Tyrus Thomas / Ben Wallace

Ben Wallace is looking a little off colour.

Might see if I can photoshop him back to health.

Tyrus Thomas / Ben Wallace

Thats better. Back to clanking dunks.

 

[CavsRules]

Again, hope Hughes goes off.. but we get the win.

 

[Splitz]

Again, hope Hughes goes off.. but we get the win.

I hope Larry goes off as well, the edge of a cliff that is. No way that he will get hot from outside this time.

Thats not a very nice thing to say now...

 

[MindDefect]

Larry shooting 40% for this game. Over or under?


I'm going for under this time, even though he does play well when in his pissed off, bizarro state.

 

[Karma]

We only need 2 more wins to seal 4th seed. May as well start with the Beatabulls.

 

[Green Lantern]

We need to beat the Bulls..period..let everyone see we got the better end of the trade.

 

[Wally World]

Hughes can hit many shoots like he done that last time against us.....WE need good D and our bench to play good(Boobie,Wally,Joe and Andy) and we will win for sure....

 

[Redz West is Best]

They have good players on the bench so if our bench keeps pace with theirs...i think we win..

 

[GottiLand]

LH obviously feels he has something to prove. If there is no defensive effort, I'm sure he'll explode again tonight. Cavs gotta put the lock on this guy.

Drew still injured?

 

[Karma]

Drew has been shutdown for the season, thus making the Bulls tougher tonight.
