Bulls will face depleted Bobcats lineup

By K.C. Johnson CHARLOTTE --- The Chicago Bulls could catch a break Wednesday night against a depleted Charlotte Bobcats team. Tyrus Thomas, DeSagana Diop, Joel Pryzbilla and Stephen Jackson are out for the Bobcats. Matt Carroll is a gametime decision with a sore ankle. On Tuesday, it appeared Thomas and Jackson would return. "You still have to be ready," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "They're a good team. They've had injuries. We have to focus on the way we want to play, which is rebound, defend, inside-out and low turnovers." For the Bulls, Rasual Butler remains inactive.
