Game Thread: Spurs at Bulls

[100%duncan]

Young stars in Kiwi and Jimmy going at each other tonight. Hope our guys can extend the streak cos after this we will have a 6 game homestand which are most probably automatic wins.

[SpursFan86]

Bulls will be missing Noah and possibly Dunleavy. We should get a win here, but the Bulls have really been struggling lately so I expect them to come out with a lot of fight.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Marco still out correct?


Yes, yes I know he's been trash lately, just curious..

Spurs are streaking while the Bulls are sputtering. I expect for them to have their best effort in a while since they're playing us but I like our chances in Chicago tonight.

[Nathan89]

I want kawhi to Shit on butler tbh.

[$pursDynasty]

Not to be "so last year" but I really miss the Melissa pics on the game threads. ST's favorite Silver dancer is gone away, :( It doesn't appear that a new favorite has arisen.

[gameFACE]

Win against the teams you're supposed to. Bulls are hobbled right now. Don't play down.



Potential Finals match up...?

That's what I'm hoping for :tu

[GrandeDavid]

I remember the first time I heard Joachim Noah speak, which was at the press conference after Florida had just won the NCAA championship. I had imagined him having a European accent, being that his mother is Swedish and father the famous French tennis player, Yannick Noah.

I was floored in hilarity when I heard Joaquin shout to the reporters, "we da national champion, boyyyyyyy!" Completely wanna-be American inner city accent. Probably fake to a degree, completely hilarious.

[FlAVaK]

Noah has been out for a while!? What has he got and will he be back for the PO´s?

[FlAVaK]

Ah, found it:

"Joakim Noah (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play against the Spurs on Thursday.
He did some work at practice on Wednesday, but the Bulls will still likely keep him out. Noah had lost a step even before his recent ankle sprain, so the time off should help him. It'll likely be Taj Gibson in the starting lineup while Nikola Mirotic will get a chance to redeem himself. Jan 21 - 3:33 PM"

Looking forward to Kawhi vs Jimmy

[Cry Havoc]

Get the W.

Might do some game grades from work if I have downtime. :tu

[timtonymanu]

The Bulls are arguably better without Noah. That being said, i think the Spurs win today.

[SupremeGuy]

[EVAY]

That would super great for all of us if you get the chance, CH. Hope you have great grades to hand out!!

[EVAY]

I expect this to be a difficult game.

They are not as bad as their record indicates, imo, just as the Spurs aren't as bad as their record indicates.

Last game against Denver they (Denver) started strong after being called out by their coach, and it really took until the 4th quarter for us to put them down. They even made a little mini-run in that quarter before Parker kind of the put the nail in their coffin to close it out....and Denver is not nearly as good a team as Chicago.

And Chicago just got called out by Derrick Rose.

I know they have a couple of guys out, notably Noah. But Taj Gibson is no slouch against us and he plays very physically, which occasionally gives us trouble.

Both Green and Kawhi will have their hands full with Rose and Butler. Fouls will be an issue.

Hope we get the win!!

[SpurPadre]

I just want us to make that asshole Gasol regret choosing them over us.

[ElNono]

Ready to ball, tbh...
