The Chicago Bulls hit the Road as they embark on a Back 2 Back Motel Swing with "Date Night" in Thunder Alley OKC with the Regulators on Thursday Night NBA on TNT. No one feels sorry for you in the Logo as Injuries are unfortunately a huge part of the Pro Sports Realm. The Bulls are trying "Life without the ADIzero Hero" Volume 2 and that would be Point God D-Rose. The Bulls like most "Grinders" in Pro Sports go by the "Next Man Up" Motto as that still doesn't stop an overflow of L's and that is taken one for the team. Bulls currently are in the Eastern Conference "Bumper to Bumper" Mess as ahead we have Fender Bender after Fender Bender. At 9-14 if the "Fight for Vince" started Tonight the Bulls we have a Remote heading to the Man Cave or like they tell it on NBA on TNT..."Gone Fishing" and to the Bass Pro Shop.


The Rockets are 5th in the West as we go to press and they have two dominant forces as "Fear the Beard" #13 James Harden and "Dwight of Three Stripes" when going the Red Nation Fantastic 2 are tough to stop. They also have an emerging All-Star in Small Forward "Parsons in a Red Nation Tree" and that would be Gator Alum Chandler Parsons (the HS Teammate in the State of Florida with current PG Nick Calathes of the Grizz and former VCU PG Joey Rodriguez and Calathes was the Pick of the Litter in HS) who has Major NBA Game. The Rockets to get to where they want to get need to tighten up the "D" and focus on Stops as "Getting Buckets" only goes so far playing past Mid-April.

PLAYBOOK

Bulls need to ficus on slowing down James Harden as he is the leading Scorer and "Monster Waiting Tables" for Red Nation...a tough cover he is!

Red Nation needs to focus on Luol Deng as he is the Engine that makes the Bulls go now that D-Rose is out for most of 2013...

Bulls Center Jo Noah needs to keep Dwight out of his "Sweet Spots" and that "Step Through" Go To Move in the paint a la Patrick Ewing...do not double him as you can't leave Rocket Shooters like Harden, Parsons, Lin, and Beverley among others at the Arc.

Rockets need to pressure Bulls PGs like "Captain Kirk" Hinrich, D.J. Augustin, and Marquis Teague...force them to make plays and not so much distributing the Orange...

Bulls need to win on the glass and for the Rockets Guards to get to the Glass on the Defensive End instead of getting out in Transition...make them pay!

Limit "Splash Plays" for both Teams...

Half Court Execution will be the Key as the Bulls need to get out in Transition more and more but not get into a Track Meet with the Running Rockets...pick their spots and control "PACE" is vital in this one...

Hack-A-Dwight should be in effect if the game is close or the Bulls find themselves down a mile early...force the Rockets to put Dwight on the Bench...

Guard the ARC....Run all Shooters off the 23 ft 9 in and force them to put it on the deck into that Two Range....most NBA SHooters are uncomfortable putting the Orange on the Floor they are "Catch and Shoot"

Game Time 930pm ET...
