PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 2

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on in News Comment 395 comments

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.

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!

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.

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 reply reply actions actions   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.

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 reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, we need Ty in there
Let's hope that he stays in to start the second half.

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 reply reply actions actions   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 reply reply actions actions   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.

Gordon's 3rd and 2nd fouls were wastes. That 2nd one was bodying lindsay hunter at half court, wtf are you thinking?

It looks to me that Skiles has one trick and it's 'going small', and it's not going to work against the Pistons. They have to dominate the glass if they want to stay close.

Noc isn't the problem, he's a sympton of the problem.  He shouldn't be in there; he is because the guys ahead of him aren't getting it done.  If BG was shooting as much Noc is (and BG should be) we'd be in this game.

IMO, Bulls are not losing this game because of
defense and rebounding. Neither have been great, but that is not why Bulls are losing.

Bulls have 43 damn points in the first half.

Bulls had 69 points in game one.

I don't mean to be obvious, but we can't score. At all.

That's due to several things.

(a) We are shooting for sh*t from the perimeter;

(b) As a result, Detroit can just stay in that zone. In the zone, they switch on every screen, which prevents penetration. If the guard gets around the perimeter defender, Rasheed (or whoever is the off big man - e.g Dale Davis) steps up or out to the wings to trap (BTW, this is why BWall has so many points, when Sheed steps up to trap, it leaves Ben open for dunks under the basket if the rotation is slow). Until we hit shots or attack the middle of the zone, Detroit will stay in it;

(c) Gordon and Hinrich and playing like dogsh*t. Neither is getting to the rim. Gordon took himself out of the game with two moronic fouls. Our guards are being dominated again;

If we don't score more in the half court, we can't win.

I still think if they boarded better
they could run a bit more and wouldn't have to score in the half court.

getting 43 isn't that bad for a half, in what I assume is relatively low-posession half since the pistons are involved (too lazy to add it up)

by your friendly BullsBlogger on May 7, 2007 8:21 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

but on another point you made
if Gordon and Hinrich do nothing none of Skiles' rookie-hate really matters.

BUT I do think if Skiles used his bench better (or if the bench players didn't play awful) they'd keep things closer.

Why did PJ Brown play under 2 minutes?

As usual, you're half right and half wrong

I was actually just ribbing him for
declaring that offensive rebounds are killing us with no analysis.

They have seven, Bulls have four. 7 is bad, but not terrible. Skiles usually says that he can live with 12, so we are a little over that pace, but not horrendous.

I can't find a damn stat with second chance points.

yeabut
the Bulls outrebounded Detroit when they played over the season, they can't merely be close in that department they should win it.

Bulls did force 8 Detroit TOs though.

by your friendly BullsBlogger on May 7, 2007 8:33 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

hello
7 is a ton considering they are shooting 55%.  They aren't missing that many to get that many O rebounds.

by bullshooter on May 7, 2007 8:33 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Here's my simplified in-game analysis
Lead was built in the first, when Detroit took 6 more shots (and mage 8 more baskets) than the Bulls got off, and that makes a gigantic difference with how hot their shooting has been.  TOs are even, so those 7 offensive boards are a huge part of the disparity in number of shots.

Even shooting well, if Pistons take the same number of shots as Bulls the lead is basically cut in half.
