Jan. 13--Energy. Communication. Pace.
Those are the latest buzzwords surrounding the Bulls' two-game losing streak, which follows a six-game win streak.
Taj Gibson said the Bulls are tired of talking. They want to simply play better and the next opportunity is Tuesday night against the Bucks.
"We have to come together and everybody just has to do their job, be mentally ready and physically ready," Gibson said. "We have to correct it."
The Bulls beat the Bucks last week at home and are at full strength other than Mike Dunleavy. The pregame plan is for Kirk Hinrich to re-enter the rotation after two straight games where he didn't play by coach's decision.
Coach Fred Hoiberg said Joakim Noah would play roughly the same minutes as he did Monday night, when he logged 19 in his first game after missing nine to a left shoulder injury.
