Kings certainly shouldn't pose a problem for any of the top teams. Just a chance to pad stats and rest the blokes who need an easy game.

#1 could become pretty important compared to #2. In fact given the current standings I'd probably rather finish #3 than #2. The Knicks could be a dangerous side. On their night they can match it with the best. They could yet climb up to #6 though and then meet the #3. But if I had my choice out of which team 5-8 I'd like to avoid, New York would get my vote.

Korver playing some pretty good basketball at the minute which is good to see. Solid win but nothing unexpected. Would have liked NY to hold on.

If we blow another big lead in Atlanta I will be rather upset.

Rose with 9 pts 5 dimes in the first quarter.

Rose sinks a 3 on the half time buzzer! No way do we throw this one away, the boy is on a mission.

Our bench was amazing that quarter.

I'm a little disappointed. This seemed like the only game that might be of interest and the Bulls decide to go and win in a canter.

But one play that won't get any press really summed up how this side can really be dangerous. We all know Rose can drive to the bucket and get layins, or dish to a big for a layin. We also know they can run a screen and let Rose fly from 3 right off the screen. They can even run the pick and roll. But every side does that. What every side doesn't have is someone like Boozer on the low post. They ran a simple play in the second I think it was, Boozer got fed the ball, Rose's man doubled (because you have to respect Boozer on the post) ball kicked out to Rose for a wide open 3. Easy bucket. That just adds that extra dimension that will make them that little more dangerous. What the better sides like Miami will do is run the help from the other side of the court and make Boozer find the open man through traffic. If he can do that, the Bulls will definitely give any side a massive challenge in a 7 game series.

Atlanta are pretty rubbish, not hugely surprised about the blowout.

Good call on that Boozer play though, he has assisted a lot of Rose 3s this season like that. We need him to stay fit for the playoffs as he will be crucial to our chances.

Lakers vs Suns up next, should be a comfortable win to LA. Bynum is out but Odom is a quality replacement.

Not sure the Suns are much better than the Hawks. Steve Nash I guess is capable of tearing a side up but not for more than perhaps 5 minute bursts these days. If the Suns are within striking distance or better with about 4-5 minutes left they're a chance. But I think the lakers will have taken the lead out to 20 by then.

Lakers got out to a big lead a couple of times but the Suns kept coming back. Going to OT now.

Still have question marks on Boozer when his Defending comes in. Especially against the Celtics if healthy, he has no where to hide then and Noah cant do it all. Remember he done this with D Will at Utah as well and they fell short every time, His defense continually being labeled as one of the major flaws.

And if its the Finals Vs the Lakers you have the issue of there 3 7 footers. not trying to be a kill joy, but this Bulls team does have flaws no matter how well there playing

Yes Boozer's one on one defence does suck, I've never said we don't have kinks in our armour but we can beat anyone really. Omer Asik is our secret weapon.

Hopefully the Spurs knock the Lakers out though, I'd rather see a different team win in the West.

Frye about to shoot 3 FT to tie the game. As soon as Kobe looks like he is going to close this game he puts up a crap shot.

Also Steve Nash, what a brilliant player.

Frye hits all 3, could be double OT here. Only 1.1 seconds left.
