You've got it, Roscoe.

When Skiles said we don't match up well with the Pistons it was with good reason... they rely on getting opponents to cough the ball up so they can get out and run... we have several players with handles that can help break the pressure (Delfino, Prince, Murray, Rip, CB... even CWebb)... we're not just a predictable team that you can double on the guy bringing it up (ie. the Heat).
This is further magnifyed with multiple players that can stick the outside shot... better spacing = less T.O.'s & more room to get inside.
I still think there is more opportunity to take advantage of their overagressiveness.... why not go with more lobs & backdoors when they jump the play?
FINALLY, they have recognized that C.B. can post up any PG (barring B.D.& Kidd)... most effecient post player on the team.... sandbagging?

They front the post except for Ben. Skiles allows Ben to play behind his man, making him a valuable "eraser" for any lob passes.

The Bulls aren't a bad team, they just seem to be in over their heads against one of the two most experienced teams in the playoffs.

It's important not to overlook what Flip and Skiles have said about making shots. It's much easier to establish a press or half court defense off an inbounds pass. Transition will kill anyone.

Nov 13 LW Milan Lucic had an active night. He scored his first goal in eight games since his Oct. 25 hat trick and also pounded Michael Komisarek in a third-period fight. Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."

The Pistons are playing as efficient as I've ever seen them. And the Bulls don't have one matchup that they dominate, let alone win, offense or defense. Orlando had Dwight, Cleveland Lebron, SA Duncan, Phoenix a la carte. The Bulls have no one that can cause a mismatch, we have several, and the result is a thorough can of whuppbutt.

I'd say it is a little bit of both...the pistons played better defense than they had all year...but the bulls have played worse than they prolly have all year

I like the Tigers chances of winning 10 in a row better than the Pistons chances of winning 8 in a row.

Better check the Tiger's score tonight................

Well, there goes Pistons' sweep.

I can't believe Bulls are favored by 3 for Thursday.
95 - 90 Pistons

For us to lose three things have to happen. Several Piston players have off nights. Several Chicago players step it up. The refs decide to give Chicago the benefit....................Pistons win 96-90.
