Eddy's going to score. Tyson's going to rebound. And Jamal's going to dribble and pass.

And everyone was looking for Scottie Pippen.

Jalen Rose's annual charity all-star game Sunday at the United Center provided a first glimpse of what the 2003-04 season may be for the Bulls.

"Basically we have our team, our core guys," said Jamal Crawford, who played for the winning red team in the exhibition to benefit several Chicago charities. "I think we're going to have a great year together. We all played well when we were playing together last season. Right from the start, I think it will be a breakout year for all of us.

"We can go to the playoffs this year and make some noise. If we don't, it will be a disappointment for everyone. What is this, the fifth, sixth year [of losing records]? That's ridiculous. The fans deserve better than that.

"If we don't do it, there'll have to be some changes. You just cannot keep doing the same thing."
