This here is another tough matchup tonight against the Bulls, which perhaps is a test of the team's resolve after that tough loss to Denver. (Let's not talk about that game anymore, okay?) Furthermore, the Bulls are looking to avenge that double-overtime victory the Blazers took at their place a couple weeks back.
The Bulls are physical inside with big Ben Wallace and not-so-little Joe Smith, and while I wouldn't expect to beat them on the boards, the team better be close off the glass or it could be tough. Don't expect Smith to go for a season-high 31 points like he did last time, but for some reason this guy enters a time warp against P-town.
Victor Khryapa, the Blazer fan favorite from a few years ago, is still with the Bulls and getting more playing time given injuries and now that Bulls' coach Scott Skiles has hit the road. Look for the Russian forward to play 10-15 minutes tonight. He's only averaging 3.6 points a game in nine games played, but VK might have something to prove against the team that dealt him away.
Does anyone have James Jones' phone number? I'd like to meet his tailor.

They sem to have gone to a small lineup against Smith and Wallace. How is that working out?
