CHICAGO -- Theyre each 3-3, but the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls have starkly different opinions about being . Custom Yankees Jerseys .500 six games into the season.The Magic are feeling better about themselves after erasing an 0-3 start with three straight wins. The Bulls are trying to figure out whats gone wrong after seeing their 3-0 start dissolve into their current record with three straight defeats.Weve got to find a way to bounce back and get back to doing the things that made us successful earlier in the season, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg told the Bulls website Saturday, after a lethargic 111-94 loss at the Indiana Pacers. Eighteen turnovers led to 24 points, and that was a big reason we dug ourselves that hole out there. Now, its a matter of getting back to work and finding out what we have to do, and hopefully coming out and playing well on Monday.It wont be an easy task against the Magic, who just edged the Washington Wizards 88-86 on Saturday night with a strong effort from their bench. Jeff Green had 18 points in his new reserve role, Bismack Biyombo added nine points, 12 rebounds and three blocked shots, and D.J. Augustin chipped in seven points and five assists.More importantly, the Magic came up with a number of key defensive stops in the fourth quarter, holding Washington to just 16 points on 5-of-22 shooting (22.7 percent).Thats a sign of a playoff team, Magic coach Frank Vogel told the teams website after the game. I believe defense and rebounding get you into the playoffs, and thats what wins in the playoffs. We didnt have a good offensive rhythm and we werent shooting it well, but in the fourth quarter, its the (third straight game) that we held (the opponent) under 20 points and were able to secure the victory.Orlandos three losses were against teams that qualified for the playoffs last season, including the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers. The Magics three wins were against non-playoff qualifiers, the Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings and Wizards.It shows that we have the ability to bounce back from where we started, Green told the Magics website. It shows growth and improvement. We have to keep building from this, grow and right the wrongsThe Bulls need to prove theyre more than just Dwyane Wade and everybody else. Thus far, theyve followed how Wade has played. Wade went 1-for-9 and finished with just four points against the Pacers, while Jimmy Butler and Bobby Portis led the way with 16 points each.Im just going to have to lead the charge when it comes to coming out with the right energy, making sure were doing everything were supposed to on both ends of the floor, Butler told CSNChicago after the game. Im definitely capable of doing that, so I cant come out lackadaisical. Ive got to make sure everybody is doing what theyre supposed to do. I think thats on us. Its not even on the coaches.The Bulls will play their fourth game without injured reserve point guard Michael Carter-Williams, whos out with a left knee bone bruise and left wrist sprain. Custom Derek Jeter Jersey .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. Authentic Custom Yankees Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.customyankeesjersey.com/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Cronulla veteran Michael Ennis has called for a re-think of the NRLs final stadium policy and for September football to be brought to the Shire.The Sharks are flying high in top spot following 14 straight wins and seemingly headed towards earning a home game in week one of the finals.However under NRL rules, any Sydney team that earns the right to a home final must take the game to one of the NSW capitals big stadiums - either Allianz or ANZ Stadium.Ennis said that was a slap in the face to the Southern Cross Group Stadium faithful who have shown up in their droves to support the joint premiership favourites this year.I think our fans deserve a home semi-final, Ennis said.If we work hard enough and continue to do what were doing at the moment and earn the right to get through this competition, those guys need to be rewarded with a home semi-final.We love playing here and they love coming here.The difference between getting 22,000 or 23,000 at Allianz (Stadium), compared to a full house here at 20,000 - commercially ttheres not a lot of difference but the atmosphere and everything else that comes with it is what the players deserve. Custom Yankees T-shirts. He has taken his case to coach Shane Flanagan and chief executive Lyall Gorman and asked them to lobby the NRL to allow the Sharks - should they finish in the top two - to play a home final at their home ground.He admitted that it is an uphill battle to get the NRL to make an exception but says it is a battle the Sharks need to fight.The Sharks have in years passed taken their home semi-finals to Allianz Stadium at Moore Park.Flanagans side are in first with 34 points, four wins ahead of third-placed North Queensland with seven games to play, putting them in the box seat for a top two finish.Our fans have turned out at every game this year - massive crowds and they really get behind us, Ennis said.Id love those guys have the opportunity to see a semi-final here.
