The Bulls must win as they are 1/2 game back of the Nets and Hawks for the #4 seed in the East. The Pacers are 3 1/2 up on the Bulls for the lead in the Central and the Bulls can close ground winning head to head both match ups. The Nets are 3 games back of the Knicks in the Atlantic but tied with the Hawks for 4th in the East.

the BK NETS vs See Red Da BULLS
PLAYBOOK
D-Will had 24 points in a loss to his hometown Mavs in the Barclays as his partner in crime Joe Johnson of Jordan Brand took the night off with just 12 points. JJ will do that sometimes and if you saw JJ's Direct Deposit you would be in shock. Nets All-Star Big Brooks Lopez had 19 points and 9 rebounds and a solid effort. Having said all of that the Bulls are a different animal and they will attack the Nets front court with abandon.
The Game Plan is this....the Nets are going to Pick and Roll or Pick and Pop with D-Will. When they do they like to use Lopez, K-Humps, or Blatche..a Big in essence. When they do they will try to spread the Bulls D out with Shooters like former Bulls Shooter Bogans and PG CJ Watson. JJ will also run the Pick and Roll or Pop but he is more of threat in ISO's on the Block or on the Perimeter. The Bulls must get the Orange out of D-Will's hands and try to force JJ, Watson, or anyone else but D-Will to make plays offensively. Both D-Will and JJ are the Primary Nets Players that can't get their own off the bounce against any defender and the Bulls have to be mindful of that.
Switching to what the Bulls need to do is simply get back to their Bread and Butter of Blue-Collar D and leads the hustle Board. That's Steals, Points off My Bad's, the Free Throw Line, and Fast Break Points. They also need to follow the lead of Bulls All-Star Big Joakim Noah as he will energize everyone from the Bulls Players, to See Red Nation, Benny the Bull, the Luv-a-Bulls, and even the Ushers and Madhouse on Madison Security...that kind of energy that man brings. The Bulls need to win Points in the Paint and on the Glass and keep the Nets out of Transition. The Two Most Important Players for each team is D-Will and JJ for the Nets and Jo and Luol for the Bulls.
