Bulls versus Spurs Tonight

The San Antonio Spurs will be in town tonight, so let’s hope the Bulls don’t need another kick in the ribs to get motivated at the United Center late in the game. As you are probably well aware, the Spurs are a good team- motivated, feisty, balanced, fast and tough. They play excellent defense and half-court offense, and if you get them in a running game, well, they have the speed to run with you too. This is going to be no easy task, but all the same, it’s a huge opportunity for the Bulls to show the rest of the league that they can be taken seriously in the playoff race.

So what do the Bulls have going for them against the Spurs? Well, lately the Bulls have been playing well against good teams. They took the Hornets to the breaking point until a collapse in the fourth quarter, and then they beat the Nets, a team they have to overcome to get to the playoffs. Most of the Bulls are back from injury, so the team is at full strength. The new guys are starting to find their roles. All that, plus the Spurs are on a rare cold streak. They have lost four in a row. Let’s make it five tonight, Bulls.
