Game #2 Preview/Game Thread: Pistons at Bulls
by Sports2 on Oct 30, 2010 4:36 PM CDT
Email
PrintThanks to me for tonight's preview, since the guy or gal who signed up shamefully hasn't posted anything yet. Boo! If you'd like to sign up to do a game preview and actually do it, go here.
Anywho, at 7:00pm Chicago time the Bulls open up the United Center against the visiting Pistons, who started out 0-2, losing at the Nets and then losing their home opener against the Thunder last night. Basically ,the circumstances are in our favor.
Not only are the Pistons unlikely to be as fresh as us, they aren't very good. Former Bulls but still Bens Gordon and Wallace look to be healthy to start the season, along with Tayshaun Prince, so perhaps they shouldn't be underestimated, but with Rodney Stuckey and Austin Daye filling out the starting lineup, they don't seem to be setting the world on fire.
Probable Bulls Starters | Roster and Statistics
Guard 1 Derrick Rose 6-3 | 190
Guard 6 Keith Bogans 6-5 | 215
Forward 9 Luol Deng 6-9 | 220
Forward 22 Taj Gibson 6-9 | 225
Center 13 Joakim Noah 6-11 | 232
Probable Pistons Starters | Roster and Statistics
Guard 3 Rodney Stuckey 6-5 | 205
Guard 32 Richard Hamilton 6-7 | 197
Forward 22 Tayshaun Prince 6-9 | 215
Forward 5 Austin Daye 6-11 | 205
Center 6 Ben Wallace 6-9 | 240
With lotto-rookie Ed Davis (ed: I screwed up the first time and wrote the Raptors guy out) Greg Monroe injured and yet to set foot on court, and backups Jonas Jerebko and Chris Wilcox hurt, this looks like the perfect opportunity for Thibs to implement the look inside strategy he recently talked about with ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell. My thinking is that if there's ever a time for Noah and Taj to shine offensively, it ought to be against these guys.
Also worth watching tonight:
* In the Friedell article, Thibs said Korver won't play much more till his defense is better, and Brewer won't play much till he seems healthier. Let's hope for those things, and a convincing outing from CJ Watson, because Keith Bogans is definitely not who I want to watch very much.
* Will summer-time Wannabe Bull Tracy McGrady have a visible fork sticking out of his back as he hobbles up and down the court? In the Pistons' first two games, he's played 20 minutes and has yet to score.

Yep, had something like 30 points in 30 minutes the other day.
He’s a steal in any fantasy draft.

Going to the game tonight...
Do you think Bulls fans will join me in booing Benedict Gordon for his “decision”?
Can't wait to see Boozer and Rose running pick and roll...err...
Also not to be forgotten!
Pistons on tail end of a back to back playing the second on the road, which, in the NBA, practically guarantees a loss for the back to backer. This won’t just be a win, it will be a blowout, Heat vs. Magic style. Guaranteed!
Final Score: Bulls win 101-81
Jo and Taj are gonna have to be on their toes tonight.
We can’t afford to get burned by the Pistons stellar post offense.

BG had 32 points last night against OKC
Count me as slightly worried about Bogans/Brewer stopping him.
"Did Michael Jordan join the Pistons when he couldn't beat them? No. He dug down deep and went out and kicked their fucking ass."
That would be a nice test for him.
Considering this should be an easy win for the Bulls, maybe Thibs lets him to try and prove his defense is improved.
I don’t see it happening though.

I agree, Daye sucks, but Stuckey is actually a very talented point guard.

I never said he was really good, I said talented.

This may go down as the most retarded decade in NBA history.
good i wasnt going crazy

This may go down as the most retarded decade in NBA history.
Slightly off subject, but why do the Pistons suck so bad?
Is it because after 2008 ECF, they totally broke off? Or is their age? They still have very good players, I am surprised they’ve fallen off the map, even though from 2002-2008 they were an EC powerhouse.
they have crap players.
rip /prince are pretty much washed up now
ben wallace is worse than the worthless body we signed
gordon and villenuava are overpaid. maybe not so much gordon but the dude doesnt even get to start and hes probably their best player.
stuckey has fallen off steadily since his breakout performance in that one playoff series
This may go down as the most retarded decade in NBA history.
they don't have a decent center or power forward
and they are trying to force a 2 guard to play point.

Villanueva's been playing well so far this season
[cue gasps]
It’s good to note they’re also trying to force a SF to play PF, though. :P
WEAVER! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He hit a huge 3 last night with 16 seconds left to take the lead
against the Thunder.
It was awesome, Ben Gordon drives to the hoop, sucks everyone in (because he hadn’t passed in 2 qtrs) and then fires to CharlieV for the corner 3.
Jeff Green then loped through the Pistons “Defense” for a winning layup. So sad.

Watching the Knicks Intro
and they just introduced Roger Mason. He shaved his hair off, and I thought I was looking at Ben Gordon.
"Did Michael Jordan join the Pistons when he couldn't beat them? No. He dug down deep and went out and kicked their fucking ass."
But at least
now they have players that can play in D’Antoni’s system and expect to actually score points.
I could see them getting in the playoffs this year

he really has to fucking get that stupid little floater out of his game
its cool once in a while but he cant keep using it.
it doesnt always go in and it doesnt help him get contact to get calls.
This may go down as the most retarded decade in NBA history.
sadly, running over people has become a needed skill
in the nba. Until Rose learns it, he’s not gonna be a superstar
just run into them and the refs give you the call
This may go down as the most retarded decade in NBA history.
seriously boozer better be able to do something amazing for our offense or we are so fucked this year
watching how badly miami crushed orlando last night was just scary. no players who can create and youre shit outta luck against miami/la/boston
This may go down as the most retarded decade in NBA history.
when will be the first game
where we get the other team in the penalty first?
I'm cuckoo for Kukoc!!!
Yeah might have been better off just
giving Joe Johnson the max and calling it a day
Yeah but it worked!
This crowd is DEAD
Is it possible that such a large amount of people can make such little noise?
Also, is it possible that Derrick will never average more than 7 apg, and 5 fta? Rose has to be the most frustrating player in the league to watch. How can a guy this amazing on offense, be so bad at getting to the line?
Superteams suck.
It is really rather disappointing.
Is the arena full for the most part? The Celtics crowd, despite what we may say on other matters, were really impressive in their vibrancy.

OMG
dunks are worth more than shots!

Yeah, that was better than the left handed blind side pass he threw to Taj last night.
Did Derrick bang your mom?
did you not watch the OKC game?
the pass Derrick threw to Taj in the opening minutes of that game was a hell of a lot better than JJ’s pass

not only does Deng not have one elite element to his game
but he also does not play well with our star player and that’s simply a fact after 3 years
i wish i could see like you.
it would be awesome, if he just lifted his game and stepped up out of nowhere, this team really is the place to do right now, there is certainly a spot available now.
Well, earlier I asked why the Pistons suck.
Now I am gonna ask, why the heck do we suck?

it's one thing when OKC gets calls at home
it’s another to not be getting call at home vs Detroit.. our team just doesnt have enough star power to get calls end of story
and detroit does? gordon? mcgrady? wallace?
it’s been like this for a while. i’m just going to say it and take the attacks:
the bulls get the least help from the refs of any team in the league, and have for the last several seasons.

The Bulls are bad. they’ll be lucky to go 41-41 again, and that’s if Boozer is good when he gets back. They have no offense. They have no defense. They have no threes. They have no home crowd. They can’t get to the line. Thibs seems to not have the least clue what he’s doing.

The Bulls have done a disservice to Rose
He’s a freaking PG. What they did to him by not giving him guys that can shoot is the equivalent of the Bears not giving Jay Cutler an O-line. They are actually ruing Rose with this lineup. I’m not sure that Boozer will even be enough.

I'm going to defend my guy D-Rose a bit
he needs to get to the foul line more, no doubt but -
He is the only guy even creating shots. He is the Bulls primary distributor, ball handler, scorer, shooter. I think the Bulls scored 2 points when he was out the game. Look at Detroit. Do you see a roster filled with shooters? Why don’t the Bulls have guys who can knock down shots? Why don’t the Bulls have anyone who can create shots for themselves? The Bulls are entirely too dependent on Rose. I can name only 2 teams where the primary scorer and ball handler are the same guy – Bulls and New Orleans. And D Rose isn’t Chris Paul, so we better get him some teammates.
