OTHER PERSPECTIVES: By the Horns, Blog a Bull

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY: Chicago -7, 178.5 o/u

PREVIOUSLY...the Chicago Bulls have won four straight games, the most recent in Charlotte on Wednesday night, since blowing a 17-point halftime lead in an 83-80 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on March 2nd. Regular readers might recall that second half as the only good thing to happen involving the Hawks in the month of March.

The Bulls have not lost in Chicago since January 18th.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
