Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Chicago Bulls. Before we get to the injury woes of the Blazers—shocking, right?—and the return of Brandon Roy later this week—okay, that was shocking—let's talk about the Bulls. Or as the great Harvey Sid FIsher puts it, "Talkin' 'bout the bully bull bull."
Chicago has been playing great as of late, coming out victorious in nine of their past 11 games and knocking off elite teams like Dallas, Miami, and Orlando in the process. While they haven't won in this building in over four years, this Bulls are now one of the top defensive teams in the NBA and hold opposing teams to a measly 43% shooting from the field (that's tied for the best in the league). I suppose the good news for the home team is that the Bulls' efficient defense won't come as a complete shock to the Blazers, since Portland is currently shooting 44% on the season, the fourth worst percentage in the NBA. It's going to be a long night.
Let's suffer together...
