Time to rope the Bulls

These last four games have been crazy. Four straight games that have been decided in the final moments. Two games that have reached overtime. Two heartbreaking last-second losses. One incredible defensive stop.
If that much excitement is needed for a win tonight, I'm all for it. But maybe we can get that win without giving me another heart attack.
The Trail Blazers host the Chicago Bulls tonight in their final match-up of the season. In their last game, it took
two overtimes for the Trail Blazers to pull out a 115-109 win.
The Trail Blazers are led by their All-Star and fearless leader Brandon Roy. B-Roy got the first triple-double of his career on Friday and nearly got his second on Monday.
The Bulls are led by sixth-man extrordinaire Ben Gordon. Gordon leads the Bulls in minutes played and scoring, but comes off the bench for an extra spark. The Bulls will be without Luol Deng, who is averaging 18 points per game this season.
Game time is 7:00, so tune in.
Let's go Trail Blazers!
