PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 2

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on in News

Yo, guys, play better?

The team (and willing media) have already burned up the 'energy' excuse...which is a lame cop-out to begin with.

Just start with the guards playing well and staying on the floor. Less time for the bench is a good thing, although you'd think they'll perform better than in game one when called upon.

I may stop by the thread and drop some angry thoughts. Or happy thoughts, gotta think positive. I'm sorry, this is my first time blogging in the second round of the playoffs so excuse me if I write like a scared rookie.

Maybe I'll watch this game
Fell asleep (exhaustion from a horrible week at work) and didn't see a minute of Saturday's game.  That was a blessing.

It's harder to watch games on TV emotionally, at least for me.  Although if it's a bad game, I can just turn on Dancing with the Stars.

You're lucky
you missed Sat. game. They will play better tonight. Hopefully a win is in the Bulls future tonight.

I'm recording DWTS and will watchi it tomorrow.

Be sure and tune in after the game tonight for our telethon to raise money for a new home for Boney.

Yep, I completely tuned out the 4th Qtr Saturday
Found things around the house that needed doing instead.  

I just couldn't take it anymore - that's usually the point where I turn on the Cubs instead (which can have its own risks), but since baseball was done for the day I had nowhere to turn but the dishwasher.

The Cubs
have been fun to watch lately.

I can't seem to help myself
Where the Bulls are concerned, seems I'm up before every game.  So here's to hoping the guys live up to my optimistic hopes for the evening.

I'm also really interested to see how the Jazz-Warriors series starts out.  Should be a good night of basketball!

Hopefully he
can play better than the last game. He just had a hard layup, good defensive play, and a sweet dime to Deng for the flush.

Wallace has been terrible
does he have a rebound yet? The Bulls have given up several on the offensive glass already, that can't happen. One-legged Webber is carving them up.

Unfortunately Skiles one trick is to 'go small' when they actually need to go bigger and control the glass.

Sweetney? come on Skiles, why do you hate the rookies.

I blame Wallace for this quarter though, he's been chasing around the perimeter and nobody's back to guard the paint.

what is this? Where have the Bulls gone? Someone kill Doug Collins!

Not really much to say
Detroit's been so much better so far in this series that's it's almost hard to get upset about it.  It's not just that the Bulls have played badly (although they obviously have) - Detroit really looks good, and even if the Bulls play much better it may not be enough.

by Big D on May 7, 2007 7:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

This is embarrassing
Honestly, if we're going to get our asses kicked like this we might as well play the rookies.  Not that they're going to be the difference or anything like that, because this series has been so one-sided do far, but at least they'll get some playoff experience.

by Big D on May 7, 2007 7:34 PM CDT   0 recs

it's really been quite a roller coaster
going from the high of sweeping miami to this ass-kicking... it's not even close, even a lil bit.

by daaaabulls on May 7, 2007 7:35 PM CDT   0 recs

at least they started getting rebounds
with my guy Ty.

But yeah, this is bad.

Should Skiles reconsider yanking PJ Brown every time he gets 2 fouls?

by your friendly BullsBlogger on May 7, 2007 7:36 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah, we need Ty in there
Let's hope that he stays in to start the second half.
Yo Skiles! More Tyrus and Thabo please!

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

absolutely
i'm sure you've seen the thread about the preconception of yanking players with 2 fouls on truehoop... PJ's a vet.  he can play smart.

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

He can . . .
But the problem is that he's not athletic enough to stay in front of people anymore.  Of course, when you're losing by 24 points in the second quarter you probably shouldn't worry about foul trouble anyways.

Plays
I don't care that he made a shot, but I have a big problem with the game plan being to go inside to Sweetney repeatedly instead of trying their hardest to get Gordon going. They need him to get into a rhythm and they've got to help him get there.

by nas on May 7, 2007 7:37 PM CDT   0 recs

What a fucking disgusting first quarter.
Just about every player in a Bulls uniform should be ashamed.

How did we regress into this quivering pile of dung?

Detroit is not this good, but we are trying our best to make them look like the 96 Jordan team.

Nocioni - Pathetic defense, no accurate shooting

PJ - Foul trouble

Hinrich - Invisible on offense; keeps getting beat on fucking curls.

Gordon - Invisible on offense, no accurate shooting

Deng - Invisible on offense

Wallace - No rebounding presence; no defensive presence

Thabo - Nothing terrible

Tyrus - Decent rebounding, stupid fucking foul at the end and you can't leave Sheed open for three, but OK

Sweets - I don't know what to say.

Five quarters and we haven't even been competitive yet.

Just shameful so far.
