Second of a back-2-back for both teams. Will be tough, but LeBron owns the Bulls.



Whether it be at home or on the road, LeBron James has dominated the Chicago Bulls of late.
James hopes to continue his success against the Bulls while trying to help the Cleveland Cavaliers to a fourth straight win overall as they attempt to avoid a third consecutive loss at Chicago on Saturday night.The Cleveland superstar scored a season-high 41 points -- including 14 in the third quarter -- of a 107-93 home win over Chicago on Wednesday in the Central Division rivals' first meeting of the season.James, who shot 56.6 percent (13-for-23) and added nine rebounds and six assists in that contest -- is averaging 37.2 points on 52.3-percent shooting in his last six games versus Chicago. He's posted a 31.0-point average in 10 career games at the United Center.

"LeBron is LeBron," first-year Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We tried all kinds of different things with him. When he gets around the basket, he's so powerful."James, who bounced back from a dismal seven-point first-half effort to finish with 27 as the Cavaliers (4-2) rallied for a 111-107 home victory over Indiana on Friday, hopes to help the Cavaliers hand Chicago its first loss at the United Center this season.Ben Gordon had 23 points on 8-for-13 shooting and rookie Derrick Rose added 18 with six assists as the Bulls (3-3) improved to 3-0 at home with a 100-83 win over Phoenix on Friday. Gordon, the team's leading scorer at 18.5 points per game, had 31 on 11-for-19 shooting against Cleveland.Rose, the Chicago native averaging 17.8 points, had 20 and seven assists in his first game against James and the Cavaliers."He's an amazing player," said Rose of James. "I've watched him on television so many times. We could have done a better job guarding him."

'Chicago, however, can't direct all its attention to James. Anderson Varejao added a career-high 18 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, versus Indiana as Cleveland overcame a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit by scoring 40 points in the final period."When the ball comes to him, he's ready for it," James said of Varejao, a reserve forward who scored seven straight points in the fourth. "He made some great plays."Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who had 15 points and 10 rebounds against Chicago, had 17 points Friday for Cleveland, which is averaging 106.0 points during its three-game winning streak.

The Bulls, who have won three of their last four home games versus the Cavaliers, shot a season-high 51.9 percent against Phoenix, while reaching the 100-point mark for the first time since a 108-95 season-opening win over Milwaukee. Chicago is shooting 46.5 percent at the United Center, compared to a dismal 37.8 on the road.Del Negro replaced Thabo Sefolosha and Tyrus Thomas in the starting with Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Gray on Friday. Thomas had 14 points and seven rebounds in a reserve role."At times, the lineup will change," Del Negro said. "We have guys who understand their roles."It's uncertain if Hinrich, coming off his first start of the season, will be able to play after leaving that contest in the second half with a sprained thumb. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday.

Cavs are taking this. We cruised until the end last night and still got a W. The perimeter guys at least need to slow down Rose, he def. can't be gettingto the basket as easily as he did last game, and if he does our bigs are going to be in foul trouble.

LBJ with 24-7-5 and the Cavs win a close one.

No one said you are the Pacers...buddy. My point is that we conserved energy by not going all-out last night. Either way it should be a good one.
 
Damn Its Saturday Already????


We just need consistency from all parties, we know what it is with Pooh... its everybody else that pisses me off with their Dow Jones like outings
smh.gif
 
Hopefully more than DEng Gordon and Rose show up for this game. Gonna need something out of the post players. Can't let Bron get to the bucket so easy.Thats tough to do but we need someone to make him think twice about coming into the lane. Should be a good game.
 
We looked good last night but Bron always abuses us so im not too sure about this one
 
Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich was examined on Saturday by Dr. John Fernandez, and Bulls team physician, Dr. Brian Cole, both of Rush University Medical Center. The results of that exam confirmed the earlier MRI which showed a torn ulnar collateral ligament of his right thumb. The injury will require surgery, which will be performed on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at Rush.

Hinrich may be out as long as 12 weeks following his surgery. The injury occurred in the third quarter of Friday's Bulls win over Phoenix. On the year, Hinrich has appeared in six games and averaged 8.3 ppg, 4.0 apg, 1.8 rpg and 1.33 spg in 24.5 mpg.

In his sixth season with the Bulls, Hinrich has appeared in 389 regular season games with the Bulls, and missed just 21 games during that span. Chicago's first round pick (seventh overall) in NBA Draft 2003, he owns career averages of 14.3 ppg, 6.3 apg, 3.5 rpg, 1.30 spg and 35.0 mpg.
