"We're not going to back down," Joakim Noah said. "Our margin of error is a lot smaller with Derrick out. Can you replace Derrick? No. But we're not going to let the media or anybody paint the picture for us. We've played well without Derrick before." "That's the thing about our team," Thibodeau said. "At different times, we've used everybody. We've won games without him. You look at the games he missed and we had John scoring, C.J. scoring. We didn’t have Rip (Richard Hamilton) for a lot of those games and he’s rounding into shape. Carlos (Boozer) can score. We have six guys in double figures. We feel we have enough to score."
