Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

From the Chicago Tribune

Quote:
Ever since I watched from the bar as the Pistons clinched the Central Division in the United Center back in 2005, I realized something—I hated the Pistons. I mean, it made me sick to watch them clinch the division in Chicago, which was weird, since I was rooting for the Pistons in the 2004 NBA Finals just hush up Shaq and Kobe.
But when the Bulls and Pistons are both good, the Pistons are evil. It's that simple.
Quote:
Look for the Bulls to steal one of the first two in the Palace, hold serve at home, lose in Game 5 at the Palace while leading 3 games to 1 and then close it out in Game 6 at the United Center. I used to think this was gonna go seven, but that's what I thought in the first round, too.

Re: Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

I'm finding it hard to work up any hate for the Bulls. I really like their team and the way they play ...as opposed to the Heat who were easy to hate. I'll have to get on the Bulls forums and see if I can work up some emotion.

Re: Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

I will have no problem hating them the minute Scott Skiles starts screwing up his face like a little baby and throws a temper tantrum.

Also, everytime Ben goes with cornrows over the Fro, that will totally tick me off. I also dislike his long socks. Some guys can pull it off, he cannot.

Andres Nocioni looks like the devil in human form.

Plus they wear those satin-ey red uniforms that look more like evening wear at a $20 bordello than a basketball uniform.

There is so much to get my blood boiling.

Re: Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

Now that I think about it, the only Bull I like all of the time is PJ Brown. He plays pretty good for a senior citizen.

Is Ben Gordon an imp or a Vulcan? Kirk Hinrich looks like his albino brother.



Did I leave anyone out? Oh yeah, Luol Deng. Sure he's great. Everyone looks great against Antoine Walker.

Re: Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

OK Micro and Max. I just went through the comments on blogabull.com and there are a bunch of anti Detroit things on there. Here is the best one...

Quote:
It was 1996 when I was in Detroit with my mom and my sister for some kinda Holland fest my Mom made us drive to. I was listening to the Bulls Knicks game on the radio when I saw this Old guy dressed as a woman with smeared lips stick over his face and a blonde wig and he was unshaven. He was driving this huge Yellow boat for a car. It was old and broken down. Then I had to watch people from Holland dance in weird cloths and wooden shoes.

Now I'm starting to work up some hate...that's just ridiculous.

These Chicago writers are so modest. Let's shut 'em up, 'Sheed.

Re: Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

I'm sure Sam "The Sham" Smith will get things fired up... and Albom will try give his egghead reasons why Chitown has bad burgers and stuff.

The guy I'm starting to dislike is Thomas... pretty damn cocky for a pup.

Re: Detroit/Chicago Series hype.

I got no problem hating on the bulls. This will be a tough battle and i think the key will be perimeter defence and rips performance. I wonder how hack-a-ben would go down...
