    On paper it should be a win, but you have to play the games.

    Per Thibodeau, Noah (illess) is out tonight vs. Magic. Rose will warmup before a determination is made.

    Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls

    Butler and Gibson both good to go vs. Magic.

    Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls

    Chicago has scored 100+ points in its first 3 games. Last time Bulls matched that feat was 95-96 (cracked century mark in first 5 contests).

    Well the paper game is already blowing in the wind with first-team NBA center Joakim Noah in street clothes and both Rose and Gibson iffy.

    The Bulls don't just win this game 'cause they're the Bulls and the Magic is a rebuilding team.

    It seems like a lot of Bulls fans don't care who the Bulls can suit up. The Bulls figure to be a very good team when completely healthy, but if they're missing Rose, Noah and Gibson, their starters are below average and their bench sucks.

    Bulls starters: Rose, Hinrich, Gasol, Gibson, Dunleavy. Thibodeau said pregame Butler was playing.

    K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop 4 minutes ago

    Bulls changing lineup again: Rose out now. Butler in. And just like in Minny, I have a headache.

    Rose this AM: "If I’m not 100 percent or if I can’t play the way I normally play, there’s no need for me to be out there right now.’’
