PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 5
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.

Please let
GO BULLS!!!
I'm feeling strangely optimistic today
I think I read (or heard?) that his mom died
I believe there are two reasons...
- He is used to it, and doesn't feel right without wearing it.
- He is still afraid of breaking his nose, if he does break it again he will be in jeopardy of ending his career.

It amazes me how mcdyse gets away
Good 1st quarter though...
We're wasting good shooting with
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.
Too many offensive rebounds
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. :-)

Why not put Tyrus on Weber?
Come on. That is a terrible call on Hinrich.
That is just...

Great to see Tyrus grow before our eyes.

yeah - ya knew BG was gonna get in foul trouble
I think BG sits for now and comes in strong the second half...
I think that sounds good
that was a clean block from BW...
please don't argue that Tay

Dude
k
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 @ Blog a Bull on May 15, 2007 8:13 PM CDT up reply actions
they got stops
Why do they have to do it this way?
I am insulating myself
I'm still smarting from last Thursday.
BG is ready to go off...
otherwise he'd light the pissed ons up...
I am very pleased with this half...

Ok I lied
I should've said if they win a HALF I boot a fan.

- exited, stage left
- kicked hard in the nuts
- removed by the hair of one's boney head
very discouraged
Still, all smiles. No they won't shoot 70% in the 2nd half but hopefully they don't give up a shitload of ORebs either.

They just have to keep
I don't know if you meant to do it,
In a way, thank you. In another way, damn you.

The announcers are freaking atrocious
Oh that is complete bull
Wallace gets in the face of one of them, pointing his fingers, moving his head like a chicken, and nothing happens.
C'mon
Hm, nevermind. He got one.
How the hell was he not tossed?
how come sheed never gets t'd up?
"crying...? there's no crying in the NBA.."

The other great thing about a 20 pt lead
Oh boy is this GREEAAAT!!
Just keep playing TT - even if he doesn't touch the ball much, his energy is electrifying!
BGis in fact lighting the pissed-ons up
I think the question right now is this:
Obviously I'm going with the former: the core is playing humongous right now(and Wallace is playing like pure dung). This is vei nice
Kirk has the double-double in the 3rd
Oh jeeze, the human grasshopper
Hoh shit I'm horrible with nicknames.
Very little
So help me God, if we lose a 21 point 4th quarter
Err, paddywagon, even.
So if I buy a Jeep...
obviously u dont
Unsung hero right now
Line going into the 4th: 6-7, 5 rebs, 3 assists and a block.
too bad
Tyrus!
Oh, and of course the core is playing great as well. BG is making it rain!
by your friendly BullsBlogger on May 15, 2007 8:59 PM CDT reply actions
Admit it, Falbull
This has been freaking awesome...
66% from 3pt line
and overall great play.
Furthermore Tyrus is a freaking stud. 12 minutes 5-5 FG% 5 boards 2 steals 1 block in ONLY 12 MINUTES!!! Am I the only one shocked by this?

He's terrible at shooting and free throws...

If the Bulls force a game seven, I will have to be proud of this team regardless of the way the series started or the way it ends.

It's amazing we won this game despite
When this team shoots well, it has been deadly all season.
Oh jeeze
He can snatch a ball 10 feet up in the air but he can't finger-roll. Nice
Great game
WOO!
Perks about this win:
*Boney cronies don't show up, with their subtle jabs, and cursing the heavens when we bicker back.
*I'm sleeping through the 1st quarter for next game. It's worked thus far.
No joejoe tonight.
EJ: Charles, what do have to say about the Bulls now.
CB: It is just wrong that Stoudemire and Diaw got suspended.
EJ: But the Bulls, Charles...
CB: Exactly, back when I was the first person to get tossed for leaving the bench...

1st Quarter Recap
Kirk was getting good penetration throughout, particularly early, but also on that last play. I wanted Thabo out there too, but Duhon has played well. Anyone else think Gordon should've stayed out there while he's hot? If he gets a third, he has three fouls, but he'd pick up that third inthe same amount of court time anyway. Just try not to foul. He's gonna play the same minutes later anyway. This way, we get him while he's in rhythm (and most valuable), and the Pistons may reorient whole O to attack him, get out of their own rhythm.
Also, while Ben Wallace can't shoot, he draws fouls, which are useful for getting their bigs on the bench.
And that was a GREAT spin by Deng, type of stuff we need from him aside from basic cuts.
Rest of analysis will come later.
No Noce in the second half

I'm so happy that Skiles finally played Thabo and Tyrus more. If you trust in them they will come to play. So now let's see what happens in Game 6. I am so looking forward to it.
Go Bulls!!!!
Hey Blog-A-Bullers, Ben Gordon's Blog....
