Two Mehs and Four Bottom Feeders

The Bulls have six games coming up vs some pretty bad teams. Two are avg at best teams. The Grizzlies and the 76ers. Both these teams have been playing pretty well as of late. The Griz just did us a solid and beat the Celtics in Boston(something we haven't done) and the 76ers have won 7 of their last 12 and had some very good wins.

The bottom feeders are some very bad teams. The Bucks,Wolves,Pistons and Raptors. The Bucks had one great game the other night vs the dieing Knicks. The Wolves just lost Love for the season(thats the word anyway). The Pistons eat their own young and the Raptors are from another country. All these things bold well for the Bulls.

Don't look at me like that.

Its important that we take care of the scrubs. Baby Seal them the way we did the Kings and the Hawks. Those are the games that can catch up to you because you go into them going through the motions. The way the bench has been playing these games  could give the starters a great break if we take care of the trash in the first 2 and half quarters. Rose,Deng,Taj,Watson and Booz all need a lot of rest but at the same time you need to win these games. The one seed is so important. It will be interesting to see how Thibs plays this out. Balls to the wall or ease up on the gas?

The Grizzlies and 76ers could be close games. Memphis has been playing really well and have a very nice bench. Not to mention the last time the Bulls played them they were slapped all over the court and also didn't have Rudy Gay so I really think the Bulls are in for a challenge. I could easily see the Bulls come crashing down off their high horse after all the big wins and attention they have been getting and end up having a night where they look terrible ala the Warriors game.

Football or Basketball? You decide.

The 76ers started off the season looking awful. Of course Doug Collins has them on the right track and have looked good as of late. Should be another tough test for the Bulls. Rose needs to keep attacking and the rest will fall into place. The Grizzlies game should be the tougher game but this will be a good test as well. It will test focus more than anything.

Should be interesting going forward with these games on how the Bulls handle this new fame and the number one seed. Also watching minutes should be something. Lets hope the Bulls can get some leads and give the starters a break.
