Joakim Noah normally kills the Nets, who struggle to defend big centers like him. However, Brooklyn limited Charlotte's Al Jefferson to just 12 points on 13 shots last night, so maybe they'll be able to handle Noah for once. |
When: 8:00 PM EST; Thursday, February 13th, 2014
Where: United Center; Chicago, IL
TV: TNT
The last time the Nets were at the United Center, it was Game 6 of their 1st round playoff series against the Bulls in last year's postseason. Brooklyn won that game, but ended up losing Game 7 in excrutiating fashion. So, yeah, this team has had some trouble with the Bulls. Also, earlier this year, it was Chicago that drubbed the Nets by 17 on Christmas Day this season at Barclays.
Probable Lineups
BKN- Deron Williams (PG), Shaun Livingston (SG), Joe Johnson (SF), Paul Pierce (PF), Kevin Garnett (C)
CHI- Kirk Hinrich (PG), Jimmy Butler (SG), Mike Dunleavy (SF), Taj Gibson (PF), Joakim Noah (C)
Final Thoughts
The second game of back-to-backs are tough for any team, as this Nets squad an certainly attest to. So, I'm not expecting a whole lot tonight. and I have no clue whether Brooklyn, after an easy win over Charlotte last night, will have enough energy to earn a victory in this one.
