BULLS @ CLIPS Game Preview with PLAYBOOK
9pm ET

Bulls come in getting Huge Games from C-Booz 5 as Booz hit the Suns with 28 and 14 off the Window. That for Bulls Lead Man Thibs is promising since Coach doesn't trust Boozer in the 4th because of his Park District Defensive Mentality Booz plays with. They also get Two outstanding performances from Jo Knows and LuuuuuuuOL Deng as they each added 21 Points apiece. Tonight though it will be a different Animal as the Bulls have their Work cutout playing the #1 Point God in the Logo...CP3 and all his Clips Underlings like the BLAKEshow, Jamal 206, the Lob City Butler...Caron, the Birmingham Baron...Bledsoe, and DeAndre the Lob City Giant..Jordan among others and don't forget about Lam Lam of Klhoe and Lamar Reality Fame.

NOTE: Nate Robinson (#13) chose to stay Home and play Football and Basketball for the Washington Huskies out of Ranier Beach HS. Crawford (#1) went to Big Blue Ann Arbor with then Head Coach Bill Ellerbee who is now an Assistant at DePaul Chicago Big East under Lead Man Oliver Purnell.

PLAYBOOK

Back to Hoops the Bulls need to stop the Clips obviously in Transition but they need to pay Heavy Attention to CP3 as he dominates the Orange in their Half Court Sets. The Clips don't run Pick and Roll...they Run Pick and Take the Elevator to the Shot Clock. They play above the Rim as neither DeAndre or Blake are comfortable from Mid Range. Bulls Bigs...Jo Knows, Booz, the TAJmanian Devil...Gibson can't get caught hedging or showing on that Screen too much on the Ball-Handler or it will be the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest on See Red's Watch.

The Clips have also added a Bench that Rivals at least Ten NBA Teams Starters. Guards Jamal Crawford and Eric Bledsoe along with Forwards and Bigs like Matt Barnes, Lam Lam Odom, Ryan Hollins, and Willie Green who is a Starter. Two of the Clips Six Double Figure Scorers come off the Bench and Jamal 206 Crawford is the Clips leading Scorer at 20.6 ppg. The Bulls Bench of KYRPTOnate Robinson, Jimmy Butler, and the TAJManian Devil must play Huge in this one to try to not match the Clips Bench but give See Red good Bench Production to have a shot at winning.

The Bulls also need to run their Half Court Sets and Luol and Rip need to be efficient as they will eat at Mid-Range if they can Knock'em down. The Bulls also need to Dunk everything in the Paint or it will be somewhere in the Floor Seats as Blake and DeAndre Block Everything. Jo Knows and C-Booz 5 have to play Physical with the Lob City Bigs.

For both Teams you must run the Shooters off the Arc and Jamal 206 is the Slickest Ball-Handler the Bulls will see this Season with that LA 405 Morning and Evening Rush Hour Handle. One on One Bulls Defenders don't break anything guarding him. Crawford and Nate are Best of Friends as they both starred Scholastically in Seattle at Ranier Beach HS.


Bulls need this One as they are well rested and this is a Front End of a back to Back as Sunday See Red i in Rip City at the Rose Garden playing #BlazerMania and Rookie PG Lillard and French Star Batum along with 2011 All Star PF LaMarcus Aldridge.
