    Should be an indicative game.

    The Mavs are a good, well coached team that's hard to stop on offense. It's non-stop pick n' roll with one of Chandler or Wright barreling down the lane to catch oops.

    Some of their best wins have come against crap teams, but the Bulls can't afford to let their guard down defensively tonight. No coasting.

    AFAIK our starting lineup is healthy so this'll be fun to watch.

    Thibs sounds hopeful that Rose and Noah will be able to handle the back-to-back. He just wants them to keep building.

    Thibs says Gibson is still day to day. Won't play tonight. Sounds unlikely for tomorrow as well.

    McDermott is out tonight with knee issue that "flared up," Thibodeau says. Doesn't have many details


    K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop

    McDermott called injury "very, very minor" and said he will travel to Charlotte. Said he never missed game to injury in college.

    LOL Sam Smith called it a 'Boo boo'

    Rick Carlisle on Butler: "It’s as hard a physical matchup at shooting guard as you’re going to find in this league in terms of strength."

    They just handed out a revised starting lineup ... for the first time this season it wasn't a Bulls problem. J. Nelson in, Harris out.

    Gasol misses in the lane, Noah fouled on the rebound attempt. Side out
