By Bill Wennington
May 7, 2012 9:57 PM - Q. Now that it's do-or-die for the Bulls, in what areas do you think they're capable of playing better in Game 5? A. This is when the Bulls players and coaches have to fight off the odds. There are some things they can do to beat the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 5.

Grim? There is always hope

May 5, 2012 9:30 PM - Q. With Joakim Noah likely to miss Game 4 with a sprained ankle, things don't look promising for the Bulls. Do you see any signs of hope? A. With Joakim Noah likely to miss Game 4 with a badly sprained ankle, one may look at the Bulls' chances of winning this series as grim. That is not why these players put on their uniforms every night.

The players and coaches need to block all of that out of their minds and focus on the task at hand -- winning Game 3. Worry about Game 4 after Game 3 and so on down the line. All they have to do is win the next game.
