Bulls vs. Pacers

Last game of the road trip ends against the Pacers tonight.

Chicago is 2.5 games back of the final playoff spot, with Indiana 22-35, three games back.

This would be a key win, that allows the Bulls to make a little push into the playoff scene. Captain Kirk scored 38 the last time the two teams met up, and granted he doesn't get tossed again, should have a solid game again, as should the rest of the backcourt.

After the Pacers, Washington comes to the United Center, and with a win against them, we should be quite close to the 8th seed.

In the upcoming schedule of March, the Bulls have the ability to go 8-7, while most may roll their eyes, it's above .500 ball, and will get us into the playoffs. No joke. Their may be a few surprise wins, as there are 9 games at home. We play Cleveland twice, and I believe we can win the one at home, and Utah isn't the same team away--note the loss against Minny last night.

Hughes and Gooden played well against Dallas, while Boylan is finding his rotation.
