    According to Nick Friedell Taj, Kirk, and Derrick are out tonight. No word yet on Pau.

    Should be an interesting game.

    Going to go out on a limb and predict that we're going to see some ....ahem.....unconventional lineups tonight.

    I'm bracing myself for the time when E'Twuan Moore, Tony Snell, Doug McDermott and Cameron Bairstow are on the floor at the same time.

    I'll take a W tonight any way we can get it.

    Let me be the first to admit that you're a lot better at these than I am.

    I didn't have the time or fortitude to go through with all that like you did.

    The hour of reckoning was coming so I went for it.

    Didn't mean to stomp on your territory, bullsger.

    Rose walks out to warm up on the floor and the Bulls fans crowded around the tunnel erupt.

    I hope so!

    Thibs says he wants to see how Rose and Gasol warm up first. If they look OK, he expects them to play.

    Derrick Rose (hamstring) on his availability tonight at Utah and Tuesday in Denver: "If not today, tomorrow. But I am very close."

    Kirk Hinrich just made some kid's day. Kid was holding a Hinrich jersey, Hinrich walked over and signed it, kid holds it up like a trophy.

    Great to chat with Hall of Fame former Bulls/Jazz coach Jerry Sloan tonight. Joked he had fun in Chicago "until the end" when he was fired.

    I'll be watching via the Utah Jazz stream. Right now the Utah pregame team is breaking down Dante Exum. He supposedly has a chance at being one of the best defensive point guards in the league. Look out Derrick!

    Utah pregame team says look out for Jimmy Butler. He's the best player on Chicago right now. He supposedly has Gordon Heyward numbers. (this is something i would have never have thought of on my own)

    Utah announcers compared Butler to putting up Hayward numbers. Said he is a star.
