Great road trip. Now let's take care of business at home!

Good win.. Lets hope pek is ok, And Bud can build on tonights game.

Not pretty, but a win is a win. 3 out of 4 is a great trip. Nice to see some other guys step up tonight, mainly Turiaf and Bud. Also Gorgui with some nice defensive minutes (but that outlet pass...lol).

That was a must win.

Yeah, the KOM predicts a loss in Atlanta. But it's a great opportunity for an anti-klunker!

I'm really pleased with the 3-1 road trip, especially with two of the games in GS and Portland, and even Chicago has been playing well. I hope Bud's performance tonight wasn't a mirage. I wish I had seen his made threes in the first half to see if he had any spring. At any rate, Love and the bench were sensational tonight.

If Pek plays, I think this is the first of a four game win streak. I think we have a good chance of an anti-clunker in Atlanta, especially if Teague is out.

Good win. We take care of business tonight. Beating a team we should beat given their current situation(bulls without rose and noah).

Turiaf continue to impress. I see him as a energy guy who can block shot but so far he has been a calming presence for the team as a vet. Also a better rebounder than i thought and a smart player. Knowing where to be on both ends. Good signing and an upgrade over steimsma as a backup center.

Bud played well. Like turiaf, he is such a smart player. He is a good fit in adelman's offense. he isnt just a 3pt threat. I actually dont consider him a 3pt specialist. But instead he is a good shooter from all parts of the floor and a glue guy. He scores well coming off screens. Can shoot from mid range and cuts well to the basket. K nows where to be in the offense.

Love is love. He is the best player on team. Rubio ha a good 3rd quarter. Thats where he got most of his points from. Brewer can be frustrating and great at the same time. Had some really good plays and had some head scratching plays as well. You take the good with the bad from brewer. Martin struggled tonight.

Pek got hurt. Hope its nothing serious. He is such a consistent threat for us every game. What it is with the bulls that our players get hurt when we play them?

The Pek injury has me scared because it seems like the nagging injury that he has suffered throughout his career. Hopefully, it isn't because if Pek is out for an extended period of time it will be hard to keep winning without our most consistent player. It seems like he always carries the team when we have no other way of scoring. Without that, I feel we are going to have to rely on our bench to step it up, and we all know they are not consistent or reliable at all.

Love: "We know we can score with anyone but if we want to be our best we need to communicate and help each other on the defensive end."
