PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 6

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on in News Comment 325 comments

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!

They just said
on Sports Nite that BG was borderline on being late. What the hell? Why do they do this? This shit just took some of my high for this game away.
I have no idea how this will affect the team tonight.

Not sure what to think so far
It's great that the Bulls are totally in it, and doing damage at the line, but the shooting woes seem to be back.  I keep hoping just staying in it will make the Pistons tight - after all, supposedly they can put the Bulls away whenever they want...

Bad shooting quarter for both teams
But on the bright side (I think), the Bulls are missing open shots while the Pistons' misses are more contested, or so it seems. Hopefully Chicago can turn it around and make a run before halftime.

There's a ton of game to be played, so I'm not calling the W now or anything like that.  Just wondering -

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.

Just get the core guys going early in the half
and Gordon better not start passing up shots just because he's missing tonight. that's not what making it rain is all about

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 think I'm
going to throw up. That was so nerve racking. PJ is a stud tonight. I hope he can keep hitting those shots and I hope Kirk and BG get the hot shooting hands in the second half.

How funny was it when the ref went to Flip and told him that Rasheed had his last warning? Come on Rasheed and show your true self and get the T in the second half.

That fact alone tells me he'll never be a championship coach, and the bulls will never win one again with him coaching.

We weren't going to be happy ending on the L
But the guys seriously did have a good season, and I'm incredibly proud of the team for winning the 2 to make it interesting.  We saw again that the team doesn't win when the shooting touch is off, but now Pax and Skiles can turn their attention to making the team better.  All the young guys improved, and I'm truly excited to see what happens this summer and next season.

Hopefully some of y'all will be around on lottery day and for the draft - I'll be here!

Disappointing ending but besides the crazy fan in me I was thinking it would be impossible to come back and win the series.

ben gordon played like a useless
Piece of dung tonight.

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
He's the star on offense and will always get the majority of the blame, or credit, fair or not.  Points-wise, it's not the same, but this game reminded me of Gordon't doughnut against the Wizards in the final playoff game in 2006.  

That's two elimation games where Gordon has failed to show up.  How many more we need to see?
