76ers-Bulls Preview

The Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers expected to have their franchise players back by now. Their ongoing absences appear to have caught up to both teams.

While it remains unclear if or when Derrick Rose and Andrew Bynum will return this season, the Bulls are tumbling down the playoff standings and the visiting 76ers may be ruining their postseason hopes altogether going into this meeting Thursday night.

A rematch of these teams' 2012 first-round playoff series - one in which Rose tore his ACL - almost certainly won't happen. Philadelphia (22-33) has fallen well behind eighth-place Milwaukee for the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot, and Chicago (32-25) has plummeted to sixth after entering this month at No. 3 and leading the Central Division.

That lead is gone as the Bulls have gone 4-8 in February to drop four games back of Indiana in the Central, not to mention 10 behind East-leading Miami after being within two earlier this month.

"We have to find a way," center Joakim Noah said. "We have to play with more urgency and play together. I think that is disappointing right now. It's been a long stretch where we haven't been playing great basketball."

It's bad enough that rumors are swirling Rose might not play this season after it was originally believed he'd return around the All-Star break, but other injuries are hurting Chicago's cause.

Noah is playing through a right foot injury and has failed to reach double figures in rebounds in a season-high four straight games. Kirk Hinrich (elbow) returned Tuesday after missing three games and 10 of 11, but Taj Gibson (ankle) began what is expected to be a two-week absence as the Bulls lost 101-98 to a Cleveland team missing Kyrie Irving.

"When you are down a player, you have to do it collectively and we were doing that for a long time. But now we have exhaled," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "The result is not going to be good. We have to correct that."

Tuesday marked the Bulls' third straight home loss, their worst skid at the United Center since dropping five straight March 1-19, 2010.

The 76ers' run of eight consecutive road losses is their worst since a 10-game slide Nov. 17-Dec. 16, 2006.

They've dropped six in a row overall, recording their longest losing streak since the 2009-10 season, and Bynum's offseason acquisition remains worthless. Philadelphia hoped to see him by the New Year, but the former Lakers center has yet to play for the 76ers due to knee problems.

"The team that we tried to put together, we've never seen," coach Doug Collins said. "So i think is what happens is that when you take a huge piece away, your warts show."

One reason for the recent struggles is the man starting in Bynum's spot, Spencer Hawes, has averaged 6.8 points on 29.0 percent shooting in the last four games.

No Philadelphia starter scored more than 10 on Tuesday in a 98-84 home loss to an Orlando team which had lost 10 consecutive road games.

"I sure hope it can't get any worse than this," Collins said.

The 76ers have lost four straight to the Bulls, including two this season, and now look to avoid being swept in the season series for the first time since 1996-97.

Noah's triple-double too much for 76ers

Posted Mar 01 2013 12:09AM

CHICAGO (AP) Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau needed just three words to sum up Joakim Noah's big night on Thursday.

"He was spectacular," Thibodeau said.

Noah had 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 11 blocks for his third career triple-double and the Chicago Bulls ended a two-game losing streak with a 93-82 victory over Philadelphia.

"His will from the start of the game until the end was just incredible," Thibodeau said. "He was everywhere - blocked shots, switching, guarding everyone. Big-time multiple efforts."

Noah also tied the Bulls record for blocks in a regulation game, previously set by Artis Gilmore in 1977.

"He was amazing," Bulls forward Carlos Boozer said. "(But) we needed everybody to step up and we did. It was impressive."

Boozer added 21 points and 12 rebounds while Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng had 15 and 12 points, respectively, as the Bulls completed a three-game regular season series sweep.

But Noah was quick to shrug off superlatives.

"It feels good, it feels really good to play well and win," he said. "It was a good win for us and hopefully we can build on it."

But Sixers coach Doug Collins wasn't as reticent.

"Noah is so lively and he's so active and he's just on the move all the time," he said. "If you don't get your body on him, he's just going to be nightmares around the rim. He's got a great motor."

Jrue Holiday paced the Sixers with 22 points, Spencer Hawes added 20 points and 15 rebounds while Evan Turner had 12 points.

The loss was Philadelphia's season-high seventh in a row.

"If we made more shots, we would have won," Hawes said. "On defense we played well enough, they just made more plays than we did."

The Sixers rallied from a 16-point third-quarter deficit to get within four points at 75-71 on Hawes' dunk.

But Nate Robinson hit a jumper and added a 3-pointer following a Noah block - his ninth of the game - to push Chicago's lead to 80-71.

Noah added a 3-point play with 4:32 to play to restore a double-digit lead at 83-71. Philadelphia never got closer than seven points the rest of the way.

Boozer opened with eight points and Deng added six as Chicago had a 19-16 first-quarter lead less than nine minutes into the game.

Boozer and Turner each had 10 as the Bulls led 23-22 by the close of the quarter.

Early in the second quarter, Chicago's Noah had back-to-back inside scores, hit a free throw and forced a turnover in a 55-second span as the Bulls went ahead 30-26.

Hinrich fired a perfect pass to Deng late in the quarter and the Bulls forward converted a 3-point play with 3.4 seconds left as the Bulls opened a 45-39 halftime lead.

Holiday had seven points in the quarter and closed the half with a game-high 13 points.

Hinrich scored his first points of the game early in the third quarter with a pair of jumpers as the Bulls maintained an eight-point lead. Chicago opened an 11-point lead as Noah's 3-point play that gave the Bulls a 53-42 lead.

The Bulls missed eight straight 3-point tries before Hinrich's long-distance shot gave them a 64-48 lead.

The Sixers found their shooting touch and trimmed the deficit to 68-62 on two Hawes' free throws with 50 seconds left.

"We were very competitive," Collins said. "(But) the Bulls front line was tremendous ... Between Noah and Boozer they had 44 points and 33 rebounds and Noah's 11 blocks and those guys were 18 for 21 from the foul line. That ended up being the difference in the game."

NOTES: Bulls star Derrick Rose still hasn't said when he'll come back and Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said Chicago was proceeding correctly with Rose's slow return. "The Chicago Bulls have a tremendous investment in Derrick Rose, you want to make sure this young guy is going to be ready to go. ... With both teams struggling recently, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said it was important to maintain continuity even if there's a temptation to shake things up. "I think the preparation part is very, very important," he said. I don't think you can allow that to slip at all." ... Hinrich made his second straight appearance since missing three games with a right elbow injury. ... Bulls guard Richard Hamilton sat out Thursday's game with back spasms and Marco Belinelli started in his place.

Notebook: Bulls 93, 76ers 82

Kent McDill, for NBA.com
Posted Thu Feb 28, 2013 11:52 PM - Updated Thu Feb 28, 2013 11:52 PM

THE FACTS: On a night when select fans received a T-shirt with his likeness on it, Bulls center Joakim Noah recorded his third career triple-double (23 points, 21 rebounds, 11 blocks) to lead the host Bulls to a 93-82 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bulls snapped a three-game home losing streak with the win, while the 76ers dropped their seventh straight game overall and ninth straight on the road. Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls. Jrue Holiday led the 76ers with 22 points, and Spencer Hawes had a double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds.

THE FACTS II: The Bulls lost a third key contributor just before the game when starting shooting guard Rip Hamilton reported he was suffering from lower back spasms. Marco Belinelli started for him and scored six points in 27 minutes.

QUOTABLE I: "He's an energy-effort player. His will from the start of the game was incredible."
-- Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau talking about Joakim Noah.

THE STAT: The 76ers had one more basket than the Bulls, one more 3-pointer than the Bulls, but got beat at the free throw line, 26-12. The 76ers only made 57 percent of their free throws (12-for-21).

QUOTABLE II: "Our defense was good enough to win."
-- Philadelphia coach Doug Collins, noting the Bulls shot just 38.6 percent from the field.

THE STAT II: Noah's 11 blocks was a career high, topping his previous high of eight he got back in January of 2009. It also tied the Bulls' record for blocked shots in a regulation game (Artis Gilmore, Dec. 20, 1977).

TURNING POINT: The Bulls led the entire second half and had a lead of as much as 16 points, but the 76ers pulled within four points with 7:07 left in the game. Two baskets by Nate Robinson, one of them a 3-pointer, gave the Bulls a nine-point cushion and that was enough to stem the comeback attempt.

INJURY UPDATE: Hamilton is listed as day-to-day with his back spasms. Bulls forward Luol Deng took an elbow to the face from Spencer Hawes with 26 seconds left in the game but looked well enough in the locker room after the game.

HOT: Jrue Holiday was 10-for-19 from the field for the 76ers.

NOT: Bulls guard Nate Robinson, playing backup to starter Kirk Hinrich and occasionally with Hinrich Tuesday, was 3-for-11 from the field and had three turnovers in 20 minutes.

QUOTABLE III: "He has unique skills for someone his size. He's able to handle the ball and make plays. Definitely his motor is way up there."

-- Philadelphia center Spencer Hawes.

BAD MOVE: With his team down by seven with 1:19 left, Philadelphia coach Doug Collins did not have his team press the inbounds or foul the Bulls to regain possession.

ROOKIE WATCH: Philadelphia forward Arnett Moultrie had four points on a pair of baskets in 6 ½ minutes of play.

QUOTABLE IV: "Come on, Jo! I can't get to my locker to get dressed. I want a new locker!"
-- Bulls guard Nate Robinson, complaining about the crowd of reporters at Joakim Noah's locker waiting for Noah to do post-game interviews. Robinson's locker is right next to Noah's.

NOTABLE: The Bulls swept the season series against the 76ers 3-0... The Bulls finished the month of February 5-8, the first losing month in the two-plus seasons Tom Thibodeau has been coach... the Bulls are just 16-14 at home this season... Noah's triple-double was the first with at least 20 in two of the three categories since David Lee of the New York Knicks had 37 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists on April 2, 2010... it was the first triple-double with at least 20 in two categories for the Bulls since the team's first triple-double by Guy Rodgers on Oct. 18, 1966 when he had 22 points, 21 assists and 10 rebounds.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, vs. Brooklyn Saturday, @ Indiana Sunday, @ San Antonio Wednesday. For the Sixers, vs. Golden State Saturday, @ Washington Sunday, vs. Boston Tuesday.
