Hawks Injury Report: Ball movement died again last night. Status for tonight unknown.
Bulls Injury Report: Joakim Noah is out. Luol Deng is a game time decision.
Blogging With the Enemy: BlogaBull
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: Please sir, please. Rose.
Game Preview:
Lets see. Al Horford should dominate Brad Miller but only if he touches the ball. Josh Smith should win the battle over Taj Gibson, but Gibson will retaliate in full if Josh leaves him to float on defense. Joe Johnson should whoop Kirk Hinrich but only if Joe does not dribble for 20 seconds and allow Hinrich to get steals, and Derrick Rose should be unstoppable if he so chooses.
Point is this. Good basketball should be an easy win for the Hawks. I don't care about road games or back to backs other than the fact that back to backs and road games lead to bad basketball. Still, the logistics do not undercut the very clear truth that good basketball will beat the Bulls, and bad basketball will shine a spotlight on just how good Derrick Rose can be. I, for one, vote good basketball.
Keys to the game:
1. Attack the glass like the Hawks did against the Bucks.
2. Go with whomever is hotter, Jamal or Bibby, just not both.
3. Move the damn ball.
Go Hawks!

imma need you
guys to keep my informed my stupid apartment complex took down my dish no TV freaking sucks
p2p4u.net
stream the games pretty decently
Don't count these young Bulls out now.
Hawks fans should know that you can’t come into the United Center(especially after an overtime game last night) and just expect a win. Let the running of the Bulls commence! Let’s even the series out.

With Noah healthy
I would fear the Bulls in their own right. Tonight, I fear them because I fear the Hawks ineptness. And the Bulls are certainly good enough to crush the Hawks with that in play.
we are going to go 3-1 vs the bulls tonight
but i admit this wont be easy
the future has come...in the form of Jason Heyward.
And pop it will Hawksgirl.

Yes 'even the series' Hawksgirl.
We meet four times during the regular season. You guys have won twice us once. Fourth match tonight.

By any means necessary, we need this win. I really don’t care how we do it, but we need to gain some momentum here. We can’t keep excusing subpar performances with the same old cliche about this being a long season. It’s not so long anymore. We’re already in the month of March. Playoffs are right around the corner. Go Hawks!!!

Even more interesting
I live in Jacksonville Fl and I get WGN, and its in HD, but miss most Hawks home games on TV. Go figure that one out.

We need to get the swagger back tonight
this is a garbage lineup Chicago is trotting out…no need to let it be competitive or we risk Rose pulling a Stephen Curry
Uh oh, I hope Rose is not out, except for this game
I love watching him play, but hope he comes back for the next game

Has anyone else started audibly saying "No" every time Marvin
takes a jumper? I am not up to the level of throwing stuff yet, as I am when Josh takes a jumper, but I don’t expect Marvin to ever make one anymore.
I have
Can’t wait until we get suitable replacement. I think he will be better off bench
Scary
This game scares me, add to that we have an early lead and that does not look good considering no one can hold a lead these days. Marvin please make a shot
oh
bummer. flip isnt. i wonder what him and acie talk about. Haha im in and your not! (so wrong but funny)
Josh Finally dunked over someone
Been a long time since I seen that even though Brad Miller should not count, lmao
Zaza
Has to be most disappointing Hawk by far, even worse than Marvin
That play two possessions ago
In the playbook it’s called “Jamal Crawford takes the shot no matter, losers!”
It starts with Zaza coming up to the top to set a screen that JC stares out for three dribbles, starts to move without using it, then decides to use it, inevitably resulting in a double team in a bad position, where he passes off to Jeff Teague. Teague’s job is to stand still for a four-count, then throw to ball to Jamal, who must jack up the shot before the shotclock reaches 8, whether his feet are set or not.
That was actually complex to compared to a JJ play
It involved a half-assed attempt at a screen and two different passes. That’s crazy complicated.
Is 8 Hakim Warrick's career high? Why do NBDL big men consistently have career games
against the Hawks?
because it's in the rule books
All insignificant, blind, cripple, and crazy players on their last leg must have monster games against said teams.

FWIW...maybe they have changed it since then...
According to Rule 7, Section 1, Article 3 of the NCAA rule book, “the ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboard from any direction.” Shipp acknowledged he shot the ball over the backboard, but was unapologetic when asked if UCLA should have won the game.
Don't plan on it... It's the Hawks.
We don’t get any air time on ESPN. That shot and Josh’s dunk SHOULD be on there tonight, but more than likely it won’t. They’ll probably put a Derick Rose mid range jump shot on there.

You need to watch more SportsCenter
We are on in the morning after each game.

Jamal only has 8
seems like it should be 20

Late wifes are worse
Especially when the first three dont look like you

Teague
Needs to do something offensively with this playing time. He is doing good on defense be Woody just does not feel comfortable with Teague if he cant do anything offensively and I agree. He is getting a lot of PT, what can he do with the starters, let’s see
Glad I'm watching FS
I did not see a travel
this just in
Mario > Rose
Go Greasy!

You should be banned
For that comment, lmao
Would never happen

Marv
Said he will not backdown from anybody, I hope the beast comes out
keep pushing
we greedy fans want all yiur effort
the future has come...in the form of Jason Heyward.
You'd think Hinrich goes around around spitting on Bull's fan's mothers
with the way they talk about him
he might as well be
they cant hate him any more than they do now

where's the good sprit of spotsmanship?
we dont trash other treams here, we root for our own.

Ahhh, so that's where our normal Hawks had gone
Someone found them under the bleachers and are making them play this half…

Here's that great offense we know and love...
classic case of Mike Woodson going in at halftime and not saying anything. We were dominating the paint and swinging the ball well. If we start playing this iso/jumpshot crap it might get closer than we are comfortable with.
holy yesssssssss
62-50? oh heck yeah!!! watch out, the hawks are back!
the future has come...in the form of Jason Heyward.
We are the least smart team in the league..
do we not realize what we were dominating them with in the first half? This is ridiculous
This is looking like typical Hawk meltdown
They are playing too fast and they have the lead, this makes no sense.
what?????????
the is the NBA, not some church league for preschoolers
the future has come...in the form of Jason Heyward.
9 point game again
this is gonna come down to the last few minutes of the fourth. We just keep settling. Our offense is awful
outscored by 9 that quarter.
Mike Woodson’s ignorance is getting hard to watch. He doesn’t change anything on offense. And he doesn’t call time outs and say “Hey guys, we were killing them when we took the ball inside, so lets keep doing that!” Instead he watches them shoot jump shot after jump shot. I’m glad we didn’t extend his contract.
Even worse than getting outscored by 9 is
our 9 point decline each quarter…pitiful
Having Kevin Willis and Tyrone Hill on the same bench
That scary!

Scaring me...
Chicago is starting to get hot like Dallas did the other night in the fourth
I'm glad
to see Zaza and Horford in the game at the same time. Let’s horford play the 4 spot. When you look at zaza and horford beside each other Zaza looks much bigger than Horford. I think Horford is 6’9 1/2 at best
So, Atlanta is outrebounding Chi 50-34, we have taken 15 more free throws
Chicago has a scrub ass lineup on the court, yet, this game is still competitve. How can this be? How can this possibly be?
damn, Marvin cannot convert at the rim
like all season
It's what he is at this point, he is doing damage inside
but other teams are not really even guarding him any more on the perimeter because he cannot shoot
Would love to see an Acie vs. Teague matchup

You Know What?
This team is good in the fourth with Joe, Josh, Jamal, Marv, and Horford (Obvious). I’m glad Mike Woodson finally realized that itt’s much better than having Bibby in there instead of Marv.
better to have Marv in there instead of Bibby

Bibby and Jamal are redundant
Glad it took Woody 60 games to realize it
Good 4th qrt, very little Iso-Joe
That’s gotta be a coincidence right?
Im gonna go out on a limb and say this ones i the bag

great game hawks!
good finish and woody is given credit for his 4th quarter lineup. nice woody great win!
Mario
should be ashamed for doing whoever like that
24-30 from the stripe
that’s gotta be a record this year
streak, streak, streak, STREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the future has come...in the form of Jason Heyward.
Josh
who should’ve won player of the week honors last week, has started off another strong campaign this week. He’s playing out of his mind right now…
Its funny
I think its funny how Bulls fans hate their coach waaaaaay more than we do ours. and the stuff they say about kirk is way worse than what we say about Bibby
