Yeah, hopefully we can go into Boston and get an early win in the first 2 games....that'll be key. With JO back...things can go either way depending on how he adjusts to the team and how the team adjusts to him.

Ugh. We're one loss away from losing our last four games of the season, which would no doubt be followed by losing four more games in a row to Detroit. A couple of months ago I said I'd be happy with the way the season turned out if we just made the playoffs, but that would be a terrible way to end the season. We really need this game against Chicago, and I think we'll get it.

The Bulls clinching the fourth seed tonight might bode well, because now they have no reason to try tomorrow. Lots of huge games on the last night of the season.
