Bulls@ Detroit~ Early Thoughts Thread

Showdown! Pistons O vs the Bulls D.... hmmn...

IMO Bulls cover the current +5. will gather composure 2nd half and make a game of it. however.. Pistons opening 2nd round tells me pistons 1st Q and half favored i figure 2.5 to 3 (-180) rofl:142smilie

Key to this game will be how Bulls respond 2nd half. Bulls have more agility and D and play smarter ball. think they get nipped but not tugged.. Looking forward to alll Madjack posters input :director:
Love this forum 8 :Yep:

Personally, I'll be shocked if Bulls take this series past 6 games. I talked to huge Bulls fans before the playoffs started and they all agreed they're going to get whipped this series.

Detroit is too tough and too big for the Bulls. How is Gordon going to matchup with Hamilton... Hinrich matchup with Billups... Okay, Duhon will get throttled as well. Flip Murray isn't much, but Detroit should own this matchup at the guard position. Prince, Webber, and McDyess are way too much for Deng, Wallace, Nocioni, PJ Brown, & Tyrus Thomas. Matchups don't look good for the Bulls IMO.

Would love to hear the argument for the Bulls... please bring them. I think they're royalls screwed this round.

How did the Bulls win the season series 3-1 vs. Det?

1st meeting-No Billups,(no Webber on team yet)

2nd meeting-Bulls lost

3rd meeting-No Hamilton, No Webber, Bulls eek out a 2 point win.

4th meeting-Detroit locked up playoffs and had come off a road win at Indi. Hamilton got launched from the game playing only 17 mins. A voodoo curse had ben placed on the Pistons by Ben Wallace's hair dresser.

I believe the last two meetings with Detroit - The Bulls didnt have Nocioni. That also means something, as he might be the hardest guy to guard from Detroits point of view.
