Utah Jazz at Chicago Bulls Game Thread

The Utah Jazz start their 5-game road trip tonight against the Chicago Bulls. (Read the preview and vote here!) Utah is rolling right now on a four game winning streak, while Chicago has been going up and down depending on who is able to play. When healthy both teams are playoff teams. They aren't fully healthy right now, and fighting for that 8th seed. Right now Chicago has it, and Utah is one spot behind. This game means something to both teams. I guess the big question will be if Gordon plays or does not play. If he does then the Jazz may have an advantage. If he doesn't then it could be just another tough road game.

EDIT 5:06 PM MT Gordon is going to play.

Also, the Bulls suck. Boo!
