PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 5

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on in News

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...

I'm feeling strangely optimistic today
and hoping it carries through for a good result in the game.  Good luck, guys!

Neil Funk is gone too
Just fired up my Audio League Pass.  Where's Neil at?

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I think I read (or heard?) that his mom died
and he was going to be out because of the funeral.  Don't remember where, though.

Really sad to hear that.   Thanks for the info.

Let's Go Bullies!!!

Good start so far
They are playing so well, Skiles might not sub anybody the whole game.

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   0 recs

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

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:34 PM CDT to parent up   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.  
Yo Skiles! More Tyrus and Thabo please!

by SouthSideIrish on May 15, 2007 7:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

OK
thanks. I checked on Wikipedia and according to that you are correct.

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Go sit down sheed-weed
...less Noc, more TT...

by Bluelou on May 15, 2007 7:25 PM CDT   0 recs

It amazes me how mcdyse gets away
with so many moving screens..

Good 1st quarter though...

...less Noc, more TT...

by Bluelou on May 15, 2007 7:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

If he can make that move
without getting called for travelling, he'll be effective.

by bullshooter on May 15, 2007 7:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Kirk
is playing like a leader tonight.  Way to set the tone for your team.  7 points 5 assists 2 rebounds.

by Jesse07 on May 15, 2007 7:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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   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   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. :-)

... tell me about it
Turn that frown upside down, grumpy Gus.

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Noce
Looks so slow out there.  I like him, but he isn't the same player right now.  Great article today about his defensive rotations.

by Jesse07 on May 15, 2007 7:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Why not put Tyrus on Weber?
It seems like a great match-up for the Bulls.

by 1958ChiTown on May 15, 2007 7:36 PM CDT   0 recs

Jump ball even
...less Noc, more TT...

Hey Thabo in for Deng!
Skiles does read my comments.

Stamina
Should we get Kirk a hyperbaric chamber like Arenas?

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Kirk and BG
have 2 fouls each.

by bu11s on May 15, 2007 7:39 PM CDT   0 recs

YES!
I like this line-up.

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

wow!
TT already has an ally-oop and a blocked shot...

And now Duh with a 3??

...less Noc, more TT...

by Bluelou on May 15, 2007 7:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

NICE BLOCK
I love him & 3 by Duhon

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Just woke up
I'm never watching the first quarter ever again

WHOOOOO TYRUS!
Big oop and block! We need him in more often!
Yo Skiles! More Tyrus and Thabo please!

Subs playing well so far
Bench looks good so far.  Good sign.

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:44 PM CDT   0 recs

Hey, our bench guys
are outbenching theirs!  And with both rooks in!  Everyone looks comfy-cozy so far.

Duh he is Tyrus Thomas
da man with mad leaping ability

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Game changer, huh?
They used to say that about a different Ty in Chicago...

Great to see Tyrus grow before our eyes.

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Thabo!
Nice fake and shot.

Your signature's nice, but it's about
the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

Great move by Ty
Wow.  Awesome spin and hoop.

Damn
Tyrus is on tonight.

Ugh 3 on BG
still the Bulls are playing well.

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:49 PM CDT   0 recs

yeah - ya knew BG was gonna get in foul trouble
...but everyone else is playing well.
I think BG sits for now and comes in strong the second half...
...less Noc, more TT...

by Bluelou on May 15, 2007 7:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I think that sounds good
Hinrich is playing good and Deng has been on the bench for a while, I expect Deng to come out strong. Also Duhon has been playing good, Keep Thabo and TT in PLEASE!

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

psst
this is fun...

by mike bornemann on May 15, 2007 7:50 PM CDT   0 recs

Give the ball
to Tyrus or Thabo.

by bu11s on May 15, 2007 7:50 PM CDT   0 recs

Yikes, and a dunk.
Love Tyrus.  Love him.

by paxson43 on May 15, 2007 7:50 PM CDT   0 recs

I know this is repetitve but
we were flat until TT came in.

by chgobr on May 15, 2007 7:52 PM CDT   0 recs

The bulls were up
but Tyrus helped extend that lead.
FEAR THE ROOKIES!

by bullshooter on May 15, 2007 7:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

please don't argue that Tay
pushed Hinrich.  that was a flop

Tivo is nice
It is close, Prince did give a shove

by SRQman on May 15, 2007 7:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Nocioni
Remarkably under control tonight.  No travels thus far.
Dalibor and Dragan!
Like Pizza? Me too.

nice fall by Hinrich
hopefully his ankles aren't hurt by the shake Billups threw at him

by Boney on May 15, 2007 7:57 PM CDT   0 recs

Do you have to be
SUCH A FUCKING TROLL?
FEAR THE ROOKIES!

by bullshooter on May 15, 2007 7:59 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Boney boner probably got booted
from his own pissed-on blog for trolling the wrong team....

He's got nuthin' better to do than come here and have people laugh at him....    :-)

What a BONEHEAD!

...less Noc, more TT...

by Bluelou on May 15, 2007 8:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Hopefully no one else noticed
that after Hinrich gave a shot to Maxiell in the nuts, he felt absolutely nothing

There's no rule in hermaphrodites playing in the NBA I guess.

(See how annoying this can get?)
