Cheap jordans 2013 ,NEW YORK — About an hour before the opening tip, a reporter asked Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau for his starting lineup.”Don’t know,” he replied.Given that his team was missing three starters (four if you count Derrick Rose) and that his most viable replacement for Joakim Noah was either the ancient Nazr Mohammed or a banged-up Vladimir Radmanovic, Thibodeau’s reluctance to supply information was understandable this time.That loss of firepower was felt in the fourth quarter. The Nets outscored the Bulls 30-22 in the final frame, and the Bulls’ first trip to the Barclays Center resulted in a 93-89 loss.Gerald Wallace tipped in a Deron Williams miss with 31 seconds to play to put the Nets ahead 91-86.

Watson swished two free throws with 11 seconds to play.Then Deng, guarded closely by Watson, came up short on a 3-point try. The Bulls finished 1-for-14 from downtown.Deng scored 18 while Brooklyn native Taj Gibson, who also played the entire game, had 16 points and nine rebounds.
Jordan shoes 2013 ,Mohammed started for Noah, who missed the game with a foot injury. Thibodeau wouldn’t say much about Noah’s condition, but it is believed to be related to plantar fascitis that sidelined him for two months of the 2010-11 season.And Nate Robinson replaced Kirk Hinrich, who returned to Chicago to have his right elbow re-examined by team physician Brian Cole. The concern is that the elbow is infected following an injury that sidelined him Jan. 9 against Milwaukee.”It’s sore and he was having pain,” Thibodeau said.Boozer, meanwhile, missed his second straight game with a sore right hamstring, and he is pledging to “be smart about it,” mindful that Deng sat out five last month with a similar injury.”Like a groin, you might not feel it right away,” Boozer said. “Then you make a long stride and next thing you know, you pull it.Mohammed scored four points in eight minutes while Robinson had 11 assists but shot just 4-for-16.
