PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 5

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on in News Comment 365 comments

I can only see a victory happening tonight if the Bulls play a near-perfect game. I just think Detroit isn't going to sleepwalk through another one, especially at home.

But think of the fun times it'll bring to have Pistons fans collectively freak out if they lose again. Whether it's a justified freak-out or not.

Thread away...

see boner?
this is how you go into 'enemy' sites. Be polite, cordial, even reverential. Realize that despite any high-brow ideals a team-focused site will devolve into tribalism if you get all surly. :-p

Bring on...
the Pistons!!  This series is starting to take on a similar tone to the Cavs/Pistons series from last year....Sure, the Pistons eventually win, but they didn't have much left for the Heat....

Nice win, Chicago...May 'Sheed will shut the hell up now, at least for a couple minutes...

Just wondering
Why does Hamilton still wear that mask? Didn't he get hurt like 2 years ago?

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:21 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

He played well wearing it
... so he stuck with it, superstitious.

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:34 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I believe there are two reasons...
  1. He is used to it, and doesn't feel right without wearing it.
  2. He is still afraid of breaking his nose, if he does break it again he will be in jeopardy of ending his career.

Good First Quarter
They need to keep this up. Get more rebounds would be nice but can't complain.

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:33 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

We're wasting good shooting with
our crappy rebounding.

Why can't we rebound well and shoot well in the same game? It's especially annoying to see our guards get outrebounded on the offensive boards.

Gordon's "defense" drives me crazy. He's really been exposed on the defensive end in this series.

by 1958ChiTown on May 15, 2007 7:33 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Too many offensive rebounds
man, that kills me.

And that was a perfect offensive first quarter, which only makes me think the 12 point quarter is coming, with Duh and Noc 'contributing'.

But that's just my angry side talking. :-)

k
from a Pistons' fan?  that "hand on the head" foul on Hinrich was bogus, but that's why the NBA got rid of hand checking, so it's a foul.

Pitiful first half, but again, even the most blindest of homer doesn't see CHI shooting 70%+ in the 2nd half.  But with the way DET is playing D, I wouldn't be surprised.

Slow on rotation, poor man to man d, got stops when the zone was put in (way too late into the 2nd quarter)

by Boney on May 15, 2007 8:13 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

they got stops
when entry pass to the free throw didn't result in a move to the basket.  Wallace in particular.

How the hell was he not tossed?
Any other player in the league would have been ejected for getting up in the ref's face like that.  They let Rasheed get away with so much shit simply because they'd have to eject him from every single game if they treated him like any other player.

Gotta give credit to this team
They didn't give up. 1 road quarter away from making it 3-2 and 4 home quarters away from tying the series. Looks like they forgot about being down 0-3 and are just fighting and clawing at possession. If they win tonight the pressure is entirely on Detroit. They were supposed to close this team out, yet have failed twice. Meanwhile, why would the Bulls hold anything back?

I don't think the Pistons' buttholes are very loose tonight.

Chicago connection
The passenger in those Sonic adds lives here Chicago, or at least he used to.  A few of us used to get together, drink beers and watch football games.  I never laughed so hard.  The guy is hilarious.  His roommate at the time (also an actor; also hilarious) talked him into ditching his 9-5, throwing caution to the wind, and seeing what happened.  Good move.

Ben Gordon's footwear
I didn't want to mention this, b/c it makes me seem more obsessed than I am... or than I want to appear, but anyways, Ben Gordon blogs about his shoes ALL THE TIME.  He gets dozens of shoes from Nike regularly.  The man is in love with his shoes.  He might play just for the shoes. (And the obligatory house for the mama.  And mansion.  And Escapade, etc.)  I'm not sure why his shoelaces need tying, but this is a man who is aware of what's going on with his feet.  Being that they're a major part of his income, I can understand that.

Note: I only checked his blog quickly to see if there was any basketball analysis or insight into Ben Gordon's character.  At least I cleared up this point.
