PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 6
Some breaking news to start, WSCR just reported that both Wallace and Duhon were late (again) to the game. Wallace was late for game 4 and Skiles did nothing. Duhon got a DNP for that same game but Skiles claimed it was due to matchups (i.e. they weren't playing an ACC team), and not the infraction.
Who knows if he'll be benched to start this game, and it's not much of a deal if Skiles decides to. To be honest, I'd be more concerned if Ben Gordon was late. Although if anyone is 'benched' for things like this it's usually for a minute or two. Maybe a Thabo start?
Moving on, one should hope that any perceived boost from the Pistons realizing they may be in trouble is counteracted by the Bulls home crowd. But a quick start would be nice. The Bulls simply cannot let those offensive rebounds get away, because even though it didn't hurt them in the last game you can't assume the Bulls will shoot an ungodly percentage again. I would think Wallace will be more of a factor tonight.
The usual keys apply: get turnovers (and, yes, those boards) to push the pace. Try and make life miserable for Billups. Limit the Noc/Duh minutes. Don't pass up shots. Get the core guys going.
Man, if the Bulls win tonight it'll make for an insanely fun weekend. Get it done Bulls! I'll show up late to work tomorrow to display solidarity with the squad!

PERFECT WAY TO END THE HALF
Seriously, what excuses does Detroit have left?
They keep saying they can beat the Bulls whenever they decide to get serious - so are they not serious yet?
It's not like they can point at a 72% shooting half tonight.
Oh, Tyrus
How can he do that with 0 minutes of play? He must be good!
maybe...
It's just that he played <1 min
Just get the core guys going early in the half
Since Tyrus forced Skiles hand to play Noc (sortof, he could've let Tyrus pick up #3 with no repercussions) at least Noc guarded fellow statue Chris Webber.

I'm depressed right now so I'm going to bed.
Rasheed Wallace is a baboon's ass.
ben gordon played like a useless
Hinrich sucked a taint as well, but at least he played defense. Basically, whoever you put gordon on will have a big night. Gee, gordon on hamilton, hamilton gets off to a 5-5 start. When he was on Billups in earlier games, chaunfuckwad gets off.
Well, if your defense is going to bite chode, perhaps you should contribute on offense. But no, gordon disappears on offense from time to time, shoots like shit against longer defenders, and commits to's.
If gordon can't be consistent on the offensive end from game to game against good teams, he'll never be anything more than a low rent Microwave.
Fucking guards.
I hate losing to this squad of blumpkins on our home floor.
I'm going down on the court to take a dump on rasheed.
Woohoo now I get to cheer for ping pong balls. Wow. Great.
Gordon deserves it
That's two elimation games where Gordon has failed to show up. How many more we need to see?

This blog will be a ghost town in a couple days. Where are all the Chicago fans? You guys chant "DE-TROIT SUCKS" during the game? I believe it's called karma. It's just ironic that the fans even dared to chant that when they were losing the game AND the series...

I wasnt aware that the bulls were going to rebuild this summer???? WTF
If by the future you mean next week, I guess the pistons are the team of the future.
Lets not respond to his comments...from now on.
the series summary
miss shots...you lose
i really dont think that the pistons defense was THAT great that caused the bulls to shoot in the mid 30's percentage wise. Plenty of open and good looks but the bulls werent hitting them. Deng develops a little post up hook shot like prince and he will be one step closer to dominating.
Incompitency rules this blog...
by TooEasy on May 18, 2007 12:48 AM CDT reply actions
I'm not going to even generalize this
By the way, what is "incompitency"?
Is it ironic(bullshooter, heh) that you spelled incompetency wrong? Here's a generalization: people who come here and talk garbage can not spell for the life of them.
Have to comment again
You don't see any of us do anything as dumb as what you're doing, by going on a Pistons blogs and coming up with arguments that don't make much sense, or just being a complete dick. So, why do you do it? For attention, validation? To feel good about yourself, because you can't feel good when you're around your peers? Did Mama not hug you enough, or can't take a pretty girl out on a date?
No, but really. Calm down, there's no need for foul play.

detroit fans blow
http://www.pigazette.com/Pigraphics/DETROIT%20BLOWS.jpg
wow, things got a little ugly since i was last
according to the equation used earlier:
present+future > past... well, good luck detroit fans because you'll still end up being the 3rd best team in the playoffs considering the title is being decided between the spurs and the suns. after that, the future i think is definitely in chicago and as documented, there's really no shot in the near future of you guys coming close to 6 titles, so advantage chicago again. enjoy this win and losing to whoever comes out of the west. congrats again.

The Bulls are too soft to ever be champs...
Gordon - Game is better suited for the WNBA. Has value as a sixth man only.
Wallace - $60 million for a temperamental head case? Late arriving to two games during a six game span? There's a reason why the Pistons didn't re-sign him.
Thomas - Lots of potential, but a better fit for the Suns than the Bulls.
Deng - Very talented. No balls. Potential to another Scottie Pippen, but slightly less of a pussy.
